Green Stone Jewellery

There are two months in the calendar that have a green gemstone as their official birthstone.  

Emerald, the most well-known of the green gemstones, is the official birthstone for the month of May, believed to represent compassion, loyalty and calm. Peridot, meanwhile, is recognised as the official birthstone of August. This light green gemstone is also thought to symbolise calm and compassion, as well as abundance, clarity and a sense of inner balance.  

Of all the green gemstone names, the one that commands the most popularity is the elegant emerald.  

Emerald is loved for its strong, vibrant tone, along with its rich cultural history and significance. This classic gemstone also has a regal charm, having a long association with royalty since it was discovered in Egypt over 3,000 years ago, worn by significant royal figures like Cleopatra and the late Queen Elizabeth II.  

Like sapphire and diamond, emerald is also recognised as a beautiful token of love, believed to represent loyalty and connection. This makes it a popular choice when it comes to engagement rings, especially for those who want to combine vivid colour with timeless elegance.  

As well as emerald, discover the lighter, gold toned green stone of peridot.

Known as the 'Gem of the Sun', peridot has a bright and exquisite colour. Green tourmaline is loved for its rare and ethereal beauty, thanks to its sublime green tone.

Green gemstones suit a wide range of styles, from classic evening wear to relaxed casual looks. 

Pair an emerald or peridot pendant with matching hoops or studs or combine green gemstones together for a clean and harmonious balance of colour. Use green stone jewellery to complement the hints of green in your outfit or match with other green accessories for a unified look.  

A pendant, a green stone ring or a pair of halo studs in a dark green stone like emerald makes the perfect statement piece, offering nighttime ensembles a classically elegant feel. A light green stone like peridot, meanwhile, radiates a bright glow that’s perfect for casual and formal wear.  

Or create a beautiful contrast of colour by blending green stone jewellery with other coloured gemstones. Wear a green stone pendant with ruby studs or pair emerald or peridot earrings or rings with opal or sapphire in the same stack to create a unique contrast.
