For the record

In the West, the first objects decorated with emeralds appeared around the 4th century BC, in the Greek Empire, during the reign of Alexander the Great. Emerald mines began to be exploited in Egypt, but their yield remained low. It is only in the 2nd century BC, with the conquest of Egypt by the Romans that they begin to be exploited intensively, and to produce abundantly emeralds that will be used to make jewelry and ornamental pieces.

Jeweller's word

It is alongside yellow gold and a small brilliant diamond that we have chosen to work this superb emerald. Solidly held by a discreet set whit one claw, the emerald is sublimated and revealed without artifice. Simply magnificent!
