Green emerald was a favorite gem of Cleopatra's, a symbol of luck and prosperity, and May's birthstone. Ruby, July's birthstone, has been a stone of protection since ancient times, its red hue associated with love and passion. Royal blue lapis lazuli brings a sense of calm and is the source of the blue pigment in many masterpiece paintings, including Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring.
