The name emerald comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde', and really just means 'green gemstone'. Emeralds are fascinating gemstones. They have the most beautiful, most intense and most radiant green that can possibly be imagined: emerald green. Inclusions are tolerated and caused by calcite deposits and chromium in the crystal matrix . In top quality, fine emeralds are even more valuable than diamonds.
The green of the emerald is the color of life and beauty and of constant love. In ancient Rome, green was the color of Venus, the goddess of beauty and love.
The infatuation with Emeralds dates back to ancient Egypt and Rome. It is said that Cleopatra was always adorned in Emeralds and that this was her most treasured jewelry.
