The story: The emerald takes its name from the ancient Greek “smaragdus”, meaning “green stone”. Valued since ancient times, this gem was revered by the Egyptians, who associated it with fertility and renewal. Cleopatra, fascinated by its beauty, adorned her jewels and palaces with it. For the Romans and Persians, the emerald symbolized wisdom and clairvoyance. Today, this gemstone continues to captivate with its unique brilliance and vibrant color. With a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, it is more fragile than sapphire but remains a prized gem, especially for engagement rings. The birthstone of the month of May, the emerald is associated with love, harmony and hope, making it a timeless symbol of elegance and renewal.
