"Beauty will save the world," wrote Fyodor Dostoyevsky. On a smaller scale, this quote also applies to particularly beautiful gemstones. Even in ancient times, emeralds were said to have a healing effect on eyesight: the incomparable green is said to have a beneficial effect on the eyes. Emperor Nero is said to have watched gladiator fights through cut emeralds. And even today, our German word "Brille" is derived from this ancient tradition: It goes back to the word "beryl", the mineral group to which emerald also belongs. This ring sets an emerald between two diamonds. Together, the diamonds weigh around 1.70 ct and are faceted in the old European cut. The emerald in their center is intensely green and yet has a warm glow. Fine inclusions, the so-called "jardin", lend it a soft light. It comes from Colombia, the best source of high-quality emeralds, and is only lightly treated with oil (minor oil). An independent expert opinion has confirmed the quality of the gemstones. The ring sets the gemstones in white gold. They lie in a row across the finger and have a powerful presence. The actual goldsmith's work only becomes visible on the side: it is just as powerful as the gemstones and developed from basic geometric shapes. This elegant ring was created in the heyday of Art Deco around 1930 and its hallmarks indicate that it was made in Vienna. Even if it may not save the world, a glance at the ring can transport the beholder into a carefree world of beauty, at least for a short while.
