CLASSIFICATION: Hand Cut and Faceted Colombian Emerald. ORIGIN: Produced in Colombia. Cut and Finished in Russia, late 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 5mm. Width: 4mm. Depth: 2mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 0.31 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Emeralds were quite favored in the Roman Empire. Especially by Roman Emperors, emeralds oftentimes used as Roman crown jewels. During the Roman era emerald was discovered in Germany near present-day Salzburg, and production continued through the Middle Ages before the deposit played out. Prior to the discoveries in Roman Germania, the ancient Mediterranean’s source for these precious gemstones was Egyptian emerald mines near the Red Sea. These were the recently rediscovered“Cleopatra’s Mines” near the Red Sea, described in ancient Egyptian written texts dated to the life of Pharaoh Sesostris III in the 19th century B.C. The Greeks worked these mines in the time of Alexander the Great and throughout the Ptolemaic(Hellenic/Macedonian) Dynasty. The last ruler of the Greek Ptolemaic Dynasty in Egypt, Cleopatra VII, Queen of Egypt, was often depicted and described wearing fabulous emeralds mined from those same famous ancient mines. Here’s a beautiful. Very nice quality, richly colored Colombian green emerald of intense, bright hue. Emeralds are nearly 100 times rarer than diamonds, and there are few opportunities to acquire such good quality natural emeralds at reasonable prices. The best specimens can bring over $40,000 a carat. Though the gemstone originated in Colombia, it was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewe

Includes 24 inch gold electroplated chain(or silverplated- your choice) Vital Statistics: Weight: 25 1/2 carats. Length: 21mm. Height: 17mm. Thickness: 15mm. DETAILS: Throughout the Orient jade was known as the"dream stone" Ancient populations believed jade would enable the wearer to access the spiritual world. And was perceived as a sacred substance. Jade was also regarded as a sacred substance. It was believed to afford the wearer against lightening strikes, would drive off beasts, and helped warriors in battle. It was also believed to be an effective fertility aid, and to provide the wearer with self-confidence. In Chinese mythology the Moon Hare made an elixir of immortality from crushed Jade. So of course jade was ground up and drunken as an“elixir of immortality” believed to preserve vitality and youth. The Chinese believe that the secret virtue of jade was absorbed into the body, and would preserve the body after death. Here's a darling little green jade statuette hand-carved into an exceptionally well-detailed little elephant. We picked these up in Bombay in the 1990’s from a wholesaler who had kept them in a warehouse for decades. The carving is difficult to date. As artisans have been producing little hand-carved jade statuettes for centuries, however reliable indications suggest that this was produced in the 1950’s or 1960’s. However the art form is dying out, and this is a beautiful piece of art possessing a very rich and handsome appearance. Identified as being carved from some of the world's finest jade deposits, this particular shade of jade is highly sought after, and can be quite costly. No two pieces of jade are identical, so you can be sure that this statuette is unique. The pendant comes mounted onto a very nice 24 inch, 14kt gold electroplated chain. If you prefer, we also

Size 7(resizing available) Not cheap silver electroplate! This is a high-quality. Solid sterling silver designer ring manufactured by one of America’s leading semi-custom mount manufacturers. NOTE: Resizing is available(may incur nominal extra cost depending on size required) DESCRIPTION: Early in Rome’s history silver(and gold) came from Spain via the Phoenicians and their colony of Carthage. Partly motivated by a desire to control that trade. Rome engaged Carthage in three wars(the“Punic Wars” In fact father of the great Carthaginian General Hannibal was not only himself one of Carthage’s most famous generals, he was also a precious metals merchant. The Romans virtually deforested the entire country of Spain making charcoal to smelt silver and gold. When the silver in Spain began to play out, in 55BC Rome’s Julius Caesar invaded Britain, in part to acquire the rich silver deposits there. The Romans were the first to mass-produce coinage on a monumental scale, the first truly monetized society. Between 100 and 400AD the Romans produced billions of silver and bronze coins. At the height of the Empire. There were over 400 mints producing coinage throughout the empire. Silver was also fashioned into Greek-style jewelry. The chief centers of production were Alexandria, Antioch, and Rome, to which Greek craftsmen had migrated. Celebrating that heritage, here’s a gorgeous, high quality sterling silver semi-custom sterling silver ring. The ring is robustly constructed, much more substantial and heavier than the typical ring band. Please do not confuse this with cheap silver electroplate. This is a high-quality ring manufactured right here in the USA by one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of gold and sterling silver semi-custom mounts. It’s an heirloom quality ring designed and produced to last a lifetime…and beyond! HISTORY OF SILVER
