For a traditional gift, purchase emerald jewelry. You can choose a variety of jewelry--from a ring to a pair of earrings to a necklace with an emerald pendant. You also can choose a jewelry piece that incorporates emeralds along with other gemstones, such as those representing your birth month or your children's birth months.

Emerald-Colored Clothing

Keeping with the emerald theme, select an outfit, a shirt, a dress or another apparel item that is dark green. Emeralds usually are a deep, rich green. Some ideas include a fancy, emerald dress that you can present your wife with and then take her out to dinner. Ideas for men include a dark green tie or a dark green sweater with a pair of khaki pants. One green item will suffice, as to avoid looking like you are dressed for St. Patrick's Day.
