KING OF ALL GREEN GEMSTONES
For over 4,000 years, This miraculous gemstone has been believed to comfort the soul with its unparalleled green hue. It is thought that emeralds represent love, eternal youth and rebirth. Over the centuries, this gemstone has inspired countless names to describe its lush green beauty. Places worldwide, such as the Emerald Isle in Ireland, the Philippines, the Muntinlupa City, Washington, Seattle, and Oregon, are all known as the Emerald City.
The name 'Emerald' was derived from the ancient Greek word, "smaragdus" which meant green. Emerald was first mined in ancient Egypt, dating back from 330 BC to the 1700s. At that time, the Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt(Cleopatra) was known to have a strong passion for emeralds and always used them in her royal adornments.
Today emeralds are sourced from several countries across the globe, with Columbian producing some of the finest and most precious emerald on the market today. Zambia, Brazil, Russia, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe all have gem-quality emeralds used in fine jewellery.
