Description

When young leaves sprout to the light of the sun, they show a delicate green. The sun still shines through them and a walk in the park at this time shows unmistakably: spring is here. The ring here shines in this fresh, spring green. For its center is occupied by a luminous, large emerald surrounded by a frame of sparkling diamonds. The emerald in the unusual navette cut, weighing about 2.40 carats, catches the eye - and the eye into itself. Its colour is intense and its body very transparent. Only a delicate so-called "jardin" of fine crystal inclusions enlivens its interior and shows the naturalness of the stone. The radiant fire of the fine diamonds really brings out the intense green of the gemstone. A total of 1.26 ct of diamonds are set here, of white colour (G-H) and mostly very good clarity (mostly vsi-si, few stones pi). Settings and ring band are forged from high karat white gold. The quality of the emerald and diamonds have been examined by an independent laboratory in Idar-Oberstein. The ring came to us from Paris and its hallmarks show that it was made in France as well. A real jewel of pure joy of life in colours of an eternal spring.

The name of the emerald probably comes from the Latin "Smaragdus", which in turn took this name from the Greek "Smaragdos". The emerald was first mined around 1300 BC in Egypt, which dominated the emerald trade in the Mediterranean region for a long time. Only with the conquest of South America by the Spaniards was their trading position broken, since there were also rich emerald deposits there. The emerald is one of the most valuable gemstones and has always had a very high value in many cultures. The ancient Egyptians recognized early the healing powers of emerald, but especially its effect on the eyes. Pliny the Elder wrote about it in 77 AD: "If the eyes are weakened, they are strengthened again by looking at the emerald. The gentle green of the stone drives away dullness". Nero, for example, is said to have worn an emerald as a monocle to strengthen his eyes, and it is also said of Cleopatra that she supported her beauty and youth by wearing emeralds. The emerald was already mentioned in the Bible and was considered in the Revelation of John as the fourth of the twelve foundation stones of the Jerusalem city wall.
