As early as 1847, the merchant Wilhelm Müller founded his company, a specialist wholesaler for gemstones, pearls, jewels, gold and silver jewellery. Most of the creations were made in the branch offices in the gold city of Pforzheim and in the silver city of Schwäbisch-Gmünd. Later, in 1894, Müller had his headquarters built in Berlin. The imposing neo-Gothic-style building, called the 'Juwelpalais' (Jewel Palace), still stands today. In the years after World War II, the company moved to Schwäbisch Gmünd, where it is still located today. The present ring is also from the Wiilhelm Müller range, as the maker's mark "XX" in the rail reveals. The ring was created in the years around 1960 and shows the typical design language of the decade. The ring is made of 14-karat gold and presents itself with elegantly twisted ring band, which shows a typical hatching of the time on the upper side. In the center, the gem presents a slanted row of three green emeralds lined on both sides by small octagonal diamonds. The ring is distinctly elegant with its play of colours, and its materials are of high quality: the result is a beautiful piece of jewellery that is a suitable companion for many occasions.

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.
