THE JEWELRY EDIT: MAY EMERALDS
Once a symbol of Venus (the goddess of love) for ancient Romans and a source of eternal youth for ancient Egyptians, emeralds boast a storied past that’s as enchanting as the glassy, deep green stone itself. In honor of the May birthstone, we’ve curated an edit of extraordinary fine jewelry featuring emeralds from Muzo Emerald Colombia—which have earned a reputation as the world’s most beautiful—alongside edgier styles, from drops enhanced with sapphires to chain-loop studs, courtesy of Yi Collection, the brainchild of the former editor of Vogue China.
