The Color of May. The Energy of Emerald. The Drama of a Tassel.

May's birthstone is the emerald — and its color is unmistakable. Deep, rich, alive. These Malachite Emerald Tassel Drop Earrings capture that exact energy in a vintage-inspired, gold-plated statement piece that moves with you, catches the light, and makes every outfit feel intentional.

Color psychology research shows that green — particularly deep, saturated greens like emerald and malachite — is consistently associated with feelings of vitality, renewal, and emotional balance. Studies in environmental and fashion psychology find that wearing green increases perceptions of harmony and well-being in both the wearer and those around them (Elliot & Maier, Annual Review of Psychology, 2014). Wearing May's color isn't just beautiful. It's restorative.

💚 Emerald, Malachite & May — The Facts

The emerald is the traditional birthstone of May. Its green color comes from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium in the crystal structure.
Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral used as a gemstone and pigment for over 4,000 years. Ancient Egyptians ground it into powder for eye makeup and used it in protective amulets.
The word "emerald" derives from the ancient Greek smaragdos, meaning "green gem" — a term that historically included malachite among the most prized green minerals of the ancient world.
In ancient Rome, the emerald was sacred to Venus — the same planet that rules Taurus, one of May's zodiac signs. Emeralds were believed to strengthen love and reveal truth.
The finest emeralds come from Colombia, Zambia, and Brazil. Cleopatra claimed Egyptian emerald mines as her personal property.
Folklore: In medieval Europe, emeralds were believed to shatter if a lover's oath was broken — the stone was said to reveal truth and expose deception.
