The beauty and effect of gemstones were already of interest to the ancients. Pliny the Elder, a Roman scholar from Como on the lake of the same name, summarised the knowledge about gemstones at the time in a book in 77 AD. In his famous natural history, Naturalis Historia, he wrote about the emerald: ‘No colour is more pleasing to the eye than that of these precious stones; we already look with pleasure at the green of herbs and leaves, but we like even better to look at emeralds, for their green is the most beautiful of all. Moreover, they are the only precious stones that fill the eyes without saturating them; indeed, when the eyes are weakened by exertions of other kinds, they are strengthened again by looking at emeralds [...] for their soft green dispels their languor.’ (Nat. Hist. 37,16) This luxurious ring sets a natural emerald of intense green colour and wonderful vibrancy in a double frame of sparkling diamonds. The emerald, a true pick-me-up in Pliny's sense, has a beautiful, blue-green colour and shows only those natural inclusions that characterise every emerald and are referred to as ‘jardin’, i.e. garden. The ring, which came to us here in Berlin, is beautifully preserved and sparkles like a cheerful star in the colours green and white.
