"We already look at the green of herbs and leaves with pleasure. But we prefer to look at emeralds, because their green is the most beautiful of all. Moreover, they are the only gems that fill the eyes without saturating them; indeed, if the eyes are weakened by exertion of other kinds, they are strengthened again by looking at emeralds [...] for their gentle green dispels the dullness of them." (Nat. Hist. 37,16) Beauty and effect of the precious stones occupied already the people of the antiquity. The quotation reproduced here comes from Pliny the Elder, a Roman scholar from Como. In the year 77 A.D. he summarized the knowledge of nature of that time in a work, the Naturalis Historia or Natural History - and his description of the emerald is still as true today as it was 2000 years ago. The ring before us here bears sparkling witness to this. For in its center shines a natural emerald in an intense, warm green. The gemstone of about 0.80 ct weight is surrounded by ten diamonds. The brilliant cut diamonds complement the green with their white, bright light. The settings and ring band are crafted of white gold, whose bright luster ideally complements the play of color in the gemstone setting. The ring was created in the years around 1980 and is a classic jewelry design of timeless elegance.
