Natural Emerald and Diamond Ring

An easy way to choose a birthday gift for your girlfriend this May is using her birthstone, which is the emerald. We have some truly stunning emerald pieces, in a range of styles - including the naturally shaped emerald earrings pictured at the beginning of the article. For girls who are all about the details, but don’t like anything too fussy, frippety and fancy (!), these earrings are the perfect choice. If you go to the Gift Ideas / Birthstone / May section, you’ll be able to see the rest of our range of emerald jewelry, which also includes a couple of variants of this gorgeous emerald centerpiece ring. You’ll see that all of our emerald products are made from natural emeralds, rather than the more common and lower quality synthetic stones.

Citizen Ladies Eco-Drive Watch

However, not all May babies are emerald girls! Another way to personalize your girlfriend’s birthday gift, if you are floundering for ideas, is to do a bit of research on her starsign. May is divided into Taurus and Gemini, with Taurus taking up the first part of the month (until the 21st), and Gemini taking the rest.

Taurean girls are usually down-to-earth, responsible and cautious, and also strong and artistic. But how does this relate to jewelry? Best not to go for extravagant pieces that can only be worn in the evening - they limit the versatile and resourceful Taurean lady. In fact, a chic watch is a great all round gift. They can be worn all day long, and serve dual purposes - highlighting her gorgeous wrists, as well as keeping her on time for your dinner dates! This Citizen Eco-Drive ladies watch is simple enough for the earthy Taurean, yet has a classical richness, at an affordable price.

Freshwater Pearl Drop Earrings

For something a little more luxurious for your Taurean girlfriend, try these black freshwater pearl drop earrings. They add an unusual, artistic touch to just about any outfit.

Natural-cut stones are likely to be a better choice for your Taurean lady than traditional brilliant-cut or princess cut stones … think natural and earthy for Taureans. This opal necklace is a great way to dress up natural cut stones, with its color variations and gorgeous asymmetry.

Opal Drop Pendant

If your girlfriend’s birthday is after the 21st of May, making her a Gemini, you most likely have a lass that is versatile, whimsical, lively and sociable. Evening wear jewelry is a great choice for these girls - always on the go, and with a different party every week, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to show off pieces like this amethyst and topaz heart shaped pendant. With all the sparkle and whimsy that your girlfriend herself has, it should be a perfect complement!

Pink Topaz and Amethyst Heart Necklace

Your Gemini lady is also likely to be able to see the two sides in every story, and appreciates duality and difference in people and things. This interchangeable bezel watch by designer Michael Kors is a great choice for her - she can be different people on different days, if she likes!
