A deep green member of the beryl family, the emerald is the rarest of the so-called precious gems. It has been mined since Antiquity in both the Old and New Worlds. Queen Cleopatra of Egypt had mines near Zabara on the Red Sea Coast, and wore emeralds herself or gave them as gifts to friends. In ancient America, emeralds were treasured by native cultures, particularly the Inca, who worshiped them as sacred. As a talisman, emerald is said to cure diseases of the eye, to free the body from poisons, and to arrest physical decay. It enhances dreams and meditation, and increases spiritual awareness. Its green beauty makes it as prized today as it has always been through history. - (FJ.3190)Origin: Brazil Collection: Brazilian Emerald Medium: Emerald/Gold   « Less

Highly prized for its gorgeous green color, the emerald was also esteemed in ancient times for its curative properties. It was thought beneficial to the eyes, and used as a talisman against evil spirits. Because of the gem's purity of color it was also believed to assist women in childbirth and seen as an emblem of chastity. In the New Testament the emerald is denoted as the fourth jewel in the foundation of the New Jerusalem wall (Rev.21:19). However, the beauty of the stone is what attracts our admiration and makes the wearing of the emerald something very special. - (FJ.3578)Origin: Colombia Collection: Emerald Ring Style: Cabochon Medium: Gold/Emerald   « Less

Exquisite Siberian cabachon emerald weighing 18.74 carats set in a ring of 18 karat gold. A deep green member of the beryl family, the emerald is the rarest of the so-called precious gems. Though sources for emeralds are found in both the old and new worlds, a stone of good quality is still an elusive object. Emeralds without a flaw are almost unattainable, as the gem exhibits many natural inclusions, but these do not necessarily mar the stone’s intense green beauty. The famous queen Cleopatra of Egypt mined emeralds near Zabara on the red sea coast in the first century B.C., wearing the jewels herself or giving them as gifts to favored friends. Julius Caesar particularly valued the gem, to which he ascribed strong curative powers. Emeralds were found in the buried roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which probably came originally from Egypt. In Meso America, emeralds were treasured by the native cultures, most particularly the Incas who worshiped them as sacred. When the Spanish conquistadors plundered the Inca Empire for gold and jewels, many remarkable large emeralds were taken to Europe, where they entered the treasuries of courts. Today, the major source for emeralds is South America and especially Colombia, where mines first worked by the Pre-Columbian cultures are still in use. The rarity of the emerald has always made it a valuable and potent talisman. It is said to cure diseases of the eye, free the body from poisons, arrest physical decay of all sorts, stop dysentery, facilitate childbirth and end attacks of epilepsy. The bright green of this gem makes it as desirable today as it has always been throughout the ages. - (FJ.5053)Origin: Siberia/ Russia Collection: Gem Stone Rings Medium: Emerald/Gold   « Less
