It seems like everyone is going green, and that's a good thing! The month of May is the perfect time to go green in your jewelry box with green gemstones. We all know that emerald is the classic birthstone for May, and we do have some lovely emerald pieces at qvc.com. But, let's explore some other exotic gems that can fulfill your love of green, like two of my favorites, tsavorite and diopside. Tsavorite is part of the garnet family. I grew up thinking garnets were red, and of course many of them are in fiery shades of red. But green garnet is so cool! Look for some pieces at qvc.com that combine colors of garnet including tsavorite. (When I traveled to Australia in 1995 I thought I purchased a green sapphire, turns out it was a tsavorite!) Another brilliant green gem to try is the diopside, sometimes called chrome diopside or Russian diopside. The intense green color comes from traces of chromium in the gem. It is another stunning gem placed with other bright stones, and I hope you give it a try!
