Birthstones Month of May
Who first beholds the light of day
In spring's sweet flowery month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
~ Tiffany
& Co. published this poem and others for each month for the first time in a
pamphlet in 1870.

DeleteEmeralds are my favorite even though they are not my birthstone.
ReplyDeleteThey are one of mine as well. Just so happens they are my son's birthstone so hopefully, one day, I will get a mother's ring with one (or two)!
