Natural Emerald jewelry
Emeralds The best Green Colored Gem Stone. Emeralds are fascinating gemstones. They have the most beautiful, most intense and most radiant green that can possibly be imagined. Inclusions are tolerated. In top quality, fine emeralds are even more valuable than diamonds. The name emerald comes from the Greek "smaragdos" That really just means 'green gemstone'. Innumerable fantastic stories have grown up around this magnificent gem. The Incas and Aztecs of South America, where the best emeralds are still found today, regarded the emerald as a holy gemstone.
The green of the emerald is the colour of life and springtime. But it has for centuries, been the colour of beauty and love. In ancient Rome, green was the colour of Venus, the goddess of beauty and love. Today, the colour still occupies a special position in many cultures and religions. Green is the holy colour of Islam. Many of the states of the Arab League have green in their flags as a symbol of the unity of their faith. This colour has a high status in the Catholic Church too, where green is regarded as the most natural and the most elemental of the liturgical colours.
The magnificent green of the emerald is a colour which conveys harmony and love of Nature. The eye can never see enough of this unique colour. Pliny commented that green gladdened the eye without tiring it. Green is perceived as fresh and vivid, never as monotonous. The fact that this colour always changes somewhat between the bright light of day and the artificial light of a lamp, emerald green retains its lively vigour in all its nuances. |
