May Birth Stone Meaning and Symbolisms:

"The May birthstone, emerald, was one of Cleopatra's favourite gems. It has long been associated with fertility, rebirth, and love. Ancient Romans went so far as to dedicate this stone to Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Today, it is thought that emeralds signify wisdom, growth, and patience."

May Birth Flower Meaning and Symbolisms:

Lily of the Valley (romance, luck, happiness, purity, humility). This elegant bloom is frequently associated with traditional feminine values like chastity, motherhood, sweetness, and purity.

Lily of the valley flowers are thought to bring luck in love but can also symbolise a return of happiness. The flower is a favourite of royals, including Kate Middleton, Queen Victoria, and Grace Kelly.
