Since ancient times, emerald has been regarded as one of the most precious gemstones and is also known as the "King of Emeralds". It has been loved by people for thousands of years and is one of the oldest gem varieties. As early as the ancient Egyptian era, emeralds have been used for decoration, and Cleopatra was particularly fond of emeralds and used them as one of her royal jewels.
The name emerald comes from the ancient Greek and Chinese "smaragdus", which means green. Its internal contents are called "garden" in the gem industry, and its lush green color can perfectly represent the vibrant and romantic spring.
The most expensive emerald colors are solid dark green and pure crystals. Trace elements that affect the color of emerald include chromium (Cr), vanadium (V) and iron (Fe). When the chromium or vanadium content is higher, the green color will be more intense; when the iron content is higher, the green color will be bluer. In the Middle Ages, Europeans believed that brightly colored emeralds could make people brave, majestic and confident, and that vibrant colors could calm people and suppress negative emotions. In the history of Western jewelry culture, emerald is regarded as a symbol of love and life, and its emerald green color represents spring-like recovery and growth.
