Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Shopping by color is a popular method of narrowing down options for gifts, and as you search for presents that embrace the color green, there are probably a few possibilities that you haven’t thought of. Whether you’re trying to please leprechaun lovers, Irish friends, or loved ones born in the month of May, the following gift ideas are sure to set you off in the right direction when shopping for those who really like the color green.
Green Jewelry
From the deep jungle green shade of the Burmese Tourmaline to the electric lime green hue of Ceylon Chrysoberyl, there are plenty of different “greens” available for pendants, rings, earrings and necklaces.
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.
When shopping for green gemstones and other jewelry, seek out pieces that incorporate: Peridot, Jade, Green Jasper, Green Aventurine, Malachite, Petrified Green Opal, Apple Green Turquoise, Moss Agate, Green Chlorite, Ceylon Zircon, and Green Sardonyx.
Try taking a trip to the local antique shop to browse one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, or scan online stores for eye-catching heirloom-quality jewelry.
Emeralds are the official birthstone for people born in May, and serve as a symbol of rebirth, good fortune, and youth. They also make ideal birthday gifts for hard-to-shop loved ones and friends. When choosing a birthstone ring, consider different cuts of stones, as well as various precious stone combinations.
