The magical allure of emeralds

EMERALD envy: Since the Babylonian markets as early as 4000 BC and Cleopatra’s time, the magical green gems have been sought after for adornment. Queen Cleo helped make them famous by gifting visiting dignitaries with her likeness carved into large emeralds. At the time of Emperors, from Charlemagne and Alexander The Great to Queen Elizabeth II, Queens and Conquerors have prized and collected these precious green pieces. Nowadays, the likes of celebs like Angelina Jolie, Mila Kunis, Beyonce and Halle Berry are often seen adorned in emerald necklaces and earrings on the red carpet.

So what’s so special about these gorgeous emeralds? Back in the day, they were believed to have mythic powers such as healing eyesight, depression, and insomnia. Green, a color of nature and earth, has often been associated with balance, harmony, and even “stimulating the heart chakra”, and even associated with counteracting greed and jealousy.

We think they are just stunning, and stand out more than the usual diamond.  We recently discovered a hub of emeralds at New York based diamond jeweler, Diamond Envy! Known for having the largest online inventory of naturally colored diamonds, they premiered their emerald collection in March featuring both Colombian and African emeralds and jewelry. In celebration of the green gems, Mila Kunis was spotted wearing Diamond Envy drop earrings at a recent Gemfield’s book launch event.
