"And precious the tear as that rain from the sky, Which turns into pearls as it falls in the sea." – Thomas Moore, Irish Poet

THE BEAUTY OF EMERALDS AND PEARLS

 

 

 

St. Patrick's Day is around the corner! 

For those of you who don't know me, my last name 'McNamara' is of Irish descent. The McNamara clan is very diverse, and hails from County Clare in Ireland. Family lore says that we've got 7 (!!) standing castles in Ireland, and it's a big deal to return to the Emerald Isle and do "the tour" at some point ... it's on my bucket list for now haha.

In the meantime though, I content myself with lovely photos and day dreaming of taking "The Tour". 

Which brings us to today.

In honor of St. Patty's I thought I'd put together a collection of some of the prettiest, most unique and valuable Emerald and Pearl jewelry pictures I could possibly find.

Besides, Emeralds are one of my very favorite precious gemstones in the world (be sure to check out my Emerald Board on Pinterest for more insanely gorgeous gems!!), so this is as good as an excuse as any to showcase them.

Feast your eyes, drink them in (tee hee), and enjoy the wearin' o' the Green! 

XO,

Ashley
