With a history of appreciation as a gemstone that goes back thousands of years, the emerald is one of the most important gemstones in cultural history. Emeralds were already being mined in Egypt in pre-Christian times. These were the stones that the ancient author Pliny described in rapturous tones: "No colour is more pleasant to look at, for we also look at green herbs and leaves with desire; but the emerald all the better, because nothing is greener green that can be compared to it." Pliny also called the stone limoniades, after the nymphs of the meadows and flowers. In the 16th century, the Spanish discovered more mines in Colombia that produced this unmistakable stone. Even today, the products of these mines in the municipality of Muzo are considered the epitome of high-quality emerald. The Iberian jewels of the Baroque period, richly set with deep green Colombian stones, are an integral part of jewellery history. An emerald is also the protagonist of this ring from around 1995. The 0.37 carat emerald is shaped in a square step cut and has an intense green colour. The gemstone is characterized by lively inclusions, which are poetically referred to as "jardin" (French for garden). These fine inclusions prove that it was formed in nature without the help of man. It is probably an African stone. A hand-forged setting and a relegated ring band made of velvety matt, high-carat gold complete this beautiful piece, both of which are certainly unique. The wide triangular shape with its interesting surface structure, which is reminiscent of a woven pattern, gives the ring an exciting look. The ring is pleasantly solid and the perfect companion for many occasions.
