This month, we are celebrating the elegance of the Art Deco period and the vibrant, joyful colours of citrines and emeralds—gems that mirror the soft yellows and greens of the new season.
The primary birthstone for May is the emerald, a vibrant green gemstone from the beryl family that represents rebirth, love, and fertility. Associated with spring, these gems are highly prized for their deep green hues and are often considered a symbol of foresight and good fortune.
If you have been looking to refresh your collection, consider a transition from deep winter sapphires to lighter gemstone alternatives. We have curated a new collection focusing on emeralds, aquamarines, and golden citrine, offering a fresh, yet historic vintage allure.

Suzanne Belperron (1900–1983) was a pioneering 20th-century French jewelry designer renowned for her modernist, sculptural, and highly personal style. Working in Paris, she revolutionized jewelry design with bold, often unsigned pieces inspired by nature and diverse cultures, rejecting traditional Art Deco trends to embrace materials like carved rock crystal and semiprecious stones.
