5 Affordable Pieces of Emerald Jewelry

Looking for a birthday present for your favorite May birthday gal?  Or maybe just a special present to yourself?  Emeralds are not an out of reach purchase if you’re willing to make a few trade offs.

First of all, real emeralds are precious gems, and can be costly.  If you’re in the market for this time of gem purchase, find a reputable jewelry by asking around for referrals, and save up for the best gem that you can.

But if you’re looking for a fun purchase, more costume jewelry than precious gems, Overstock.com offers some great created-emeralds where you can find something to fit within most any budget.  Buy yourself a terrific piece of fun jewelry and save up for the day you can make that big purchase.

Some sweet and simple earrings:

And a couple of necklaces:

To wear on your finger, how about this emerald shaped emerald and diamond ring.  It’s simple and elegant, and only $149.99.
