Humankind has a long history of admiring emeralds, which overtime has become a symbol of prosperity, life and rebirth. Pliny, the noted Roman historian, commented ‘Indeed there is no stone, the color of which is more delightful to the eye, for whereas the sight fixed itself with avidity upon the green grass and foliage of the trees, we have all the more pleasure in looking upon the emerald, there being no green in existence of a more intense color than this’.

One would have needed extraordinary patience and luck to have acquired, and matched, the seventeen exceptionally magnificent emerald gems in this set of jewelry. All emeralds exhibit a richly saturated and homogeneous bluish green color, mesmerizingly deep yet lively, characteristic of the best emeralds mined in Colombia. It is a color that is always associated with the lushest landscapes and the richest greens.
