"Canopies of emerald" sing the lyrical I in Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, canopies of leaves of exotic plants arching above her in the sky. It is an image of sprawling tropics, although, as becomes clear later, the foreign plants have been transplanted from afar to Central Europe and now remember here longingly their homeland under a warmer sun. The fact that the emerald here stands for the primeval forest is not only due to its colour. Since time immemorial, the best emeralds have been found in Colombia, so they themselves come from the middle of the jungle. And when the light plays inside such a stone, the most beautiful images of a sprawling, paradisiacal environment are awakened all by themselves. Such a tempting, beguiling excursion into a tropical jungle is also conveyed by this precious ring from Vienna. Between two brilliant-cut diamonds of about 0.80 ct. each, a wonderful emerald from Colombia is set. The stone is deep green and yet glows warmly. Fine inclusions, the so-called "jardin", give it a soft light. The ring sets the gemstones in white gold. They lie in a row across the finger, and yet at the same time are arranged very flat, so that the ring wears comfortably. The elegant sweep and at the same time compact shape of the design let us date the ring to the 1950s. According to its hallmarks, it was made in Vienna.
