Emeralds What can you really say about Emerald other than the eponymous, totalitarian city-state you may remember at the end of the yellow brick road? You may not know much else so join us for our second birthstone blog on Emeralds. Emerald is the birthstone for the month of May and carries a deep, rich green color of Spring and is absolutely dripping with rebirth energy. One of the traditional gemstones for the astrological sign Cancer, Emeralds are considered a stone of love. One of the rarest gemstones, a well-cut emerald will consistently be priced higher per carat than diamonds.

Last summer, we were able to spend 10 glorious days on the island of Kaua’i, the oldest and most northerly of the Hawaiian Islands. It was an unforgettable, and I know this word gets thrown around a lot but, it was “epic”. Easy to see how people come up with the idea of places being a spiritual vortex, would make the most cynical person humble. Kaua’i is a small island and the scenery can change in the space of a few hundred feet.
