Just Ask Leslie: Jewelry Tips

I must have been a little psychic with my last post on emerald, the birthstone for the month of May, because I just noticed that Ice.com is having a special month of May sale on emeralds! Ice tells us that emeralds are “a symbol of fertility, rebirth and springtime.” With that in mind, here are a few more emerald facts:

- Emerald is a colored variety of beryl
- Emerald is the most valuable gemstone by weight
- Emperor Nero was a noted emerald fan
- The massive 858 carat Gachala Emerald can be seen at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington

So now that you’re fortified with emerald knowledge, do yourself a favor and check out Ice.com’s May Emerald Sale, full of exquisite emerald jewelry priced specially for spring.
