The name Esmeralda comes from the Spanish and means emerald. The stone has been so highly prized there for centuries that Esmeralda has become a popular female name that stands for grace and beauty. In his famous novel about the "Hunchback of Notre-Dame", Victor Hugo created a literary monument to the beautiful dancer La Esmeralda. This ring presents a natural emerald of a bright green color. The stone has fine crystal inclusions and small lines, which are regarded as positive identity features and are referred to as "jardin" (French for "garden"). It is an emerald from Colombia that has only been moderately oiled. The octagonal-cut stone is surrounded by twelve white diamond roses, which compete with the large stone in closed settings. The emerald thus appears like the center of a glittering flower. The ring face made of emerald and diamond was only added to the simple yet beautifully crafted ring band at a later date - but both were created around the same time, around 1890. This can only be revealed with a magnifying glass. Today, however, they look as if they have always been part of one and the same piece of jewellery. The ring came to us here in Berlin as it is.
