"Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes Goes "A-a-a-h"" The beach of Ipanema with its sights inspired Antônio Carlos Jobim in 1962 to write the famous piece of music from which we quote above. At the time the song was written, Ipanema, a district of Rio de Janeiro, was considered the artists' quarter of the Brazilian metropolis. The Brazilian emerald, which was the starting point for forging the ring we have here, also dates from the 1960s. The natural, dark green emerald came to us uncut from a stately estate on Hamburg's Elbchaussee and was purchased in those years as an investment together with several other gemstones. In the state of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil, known for its colonial-era towns founded during the gold rush of the 18th century, the gorgeous deep green stone grew inside the earth. Elegant mansions, cobbled streets and baroque churches characterize the image of those towns, which include São João del Rei, Tiradentes and the old capital Ouro Preto. This region is considered one of the richest in precious stones on earth. For the fine emerald weighing 1.58 ct, we have designed a classic setting in 18-karat gold, executed for us by an Italian manufacture. Sixteen diamonds, also historic, frame the center stone like a sparkling fringe. Classic designs like this have been known in jewellery history since the early seventeenth century and are called entourage rings, from French "entourage" for escort, entourage. The ring is sustainably made and makes its historic gemstones shine in an ideal and classic way. Supplied the gem with a detailed appraisal of the German Society for Gemstone Evaluation Idar-Oberstein from May 31, 2023.
