The story: The emerald, derived from the Greek word “smaragdus,” meaning “green gem,” has captivated cultures for millennia with its vibrant green hue. First mined in ancient Egypt, emerald was Cleopatra’s favorite gemstone, symbolizing fertility and rebirth. The Mughal emperors of India valued emeralds for their spiritual protection and engraved sacred texts on them. Emeralds are known for their inclusions called “garden,” which are frequent and celebrated as part of their character.
