Unlike many gemstones that are prized for their clarity, emeralds often contain natural inclusions called "jardin" (French for garden). These inclusions are considered part of the stone's character and are believed to bring good luck. The inclusions can appear as tiny fissures, mineral deposits, or other imperfections within the emerald. They often have a greenish, black, or brownish hue, blending with the emerald’s vibrant color but creating a unique internal landscape. Emeralds are traditionally appreciated for their character and uniqueness. The presence of jardin makes each emerald truly one-of-a-kind, with its own internal "garden" pattern. In many cultures, jardin is believed to bring good luck, protection, and positive energy. Some think that the inclusions are signs of the stone’s authenticity and natural origin, adding to its mystical qualities. The internal "landscape" makes each emerald unique, much like a fingerprint. Collectors and jewelry enthusiasts often prize stones with particularly interesting or picturesque jardin. The garden-like inclusions evoke images of lush, verdant landscapes, reinforcing the emerald’s association with growth, renewal, and vitality. No wonder this gem is birthstone for May. Most parts of the world are welcoming spring with its green lushness.
The emerald is the traditional birthstone for May and it symbolizes love, renewal, and new beginnings. The green color is linked to the vibrancy of spring.
