Contemporary High Quality Sterling Silver Ring(Size 4½– Resizing Available) CLASSIFICATION: Round Cut Faceted Pink Tourmalines. ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains. Russia. SIZE: 6) 2½mm Rounds. 6) 2mm Rounds. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 0.73 carats(combined weight) DETAIL: In ancient mythology. Tourmaline was found in all colors because it traveled along a rainbow and gathered all the rainbow's colors. In fact the name tourmaline comes from the Dutch traders who purchased gemstones from the Celanese(i.e. Ceylon or Sri Lanka) The word"turmali, meant"mixed" and the bright rainbow collections of gemstone varieties which the Dutch purchased were called"turmali" parcels. Medieval alchemists believed tourmaline to be related to the philosopher’s stone, and as such could grant enlightenment, give power over spiritual affairs, reconcile opposites and change base metals to gold. Tourmaline was also used by medieval shamans who regarded it a“receptive stone, which means it was thought to promote meditation, spirituality, wisdom and mystical powers. Here are twelve exquisitely colored handcrafted faceted pink tourmaline rounds from the Southern Urals. The gemstones were hand crafted and faceted by a Russian artisan. Part of a centuries-old heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Pink tourmalines are rather uncommon, probably the most valuable of the ordinary varieties of tourmaline. There is substantially more demand than supply, so thus oftentimes can be quite costly. The color of these specimens have been alternately described as hot pink, neon pink, bubble gum pink, even screaming pink. Let’s just say the color is very intense, and quite vibrant.

Egypt known as“Zebirget” or“Zabargad” During the Crusades the island came under Crusader control, and the island became known as“Saint John's Island” While in control of the island the Crusaders actively mined and stockpiled peridot, and at the end of the Crusades the Crusaders brought back to Europe large quantities of peridot which was used in Medieval through Baroque Europe as an adornment for ecclesiastical treasures. Of particularly significance is one of the shrines in the Cologne Cathedral(the“Treasury of the Three Magi” Acknowledged to be the largest and most valuable piece of medieval goldsmithing in existence, the 12th century reliquary is six feet long, four and one-half feet high, three and one-half feet wide, and contains more than one thousand gemstones including three large peridot gemstones each more than 200 carats in size(as well as thousands of pearls) The precious stone and jewelry collection in the Tower of London also contains large peridot gems, as does the collection at the Vatican in Rome and the Diamond Treasury in Moscow.

The creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, and at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. That was the birth of the opals, also known as the“fire of the desert” In the ancient world, the Mayas and Aztecs called opal the“bird of paradise stone” In the classical Mediterranean World, it was thought that opals were actually bits of rainbows which had fallen from the skies. Ancient Greeks, amongst many other ancient cultures, thought opals gave their owner the gift of prophecy and foresight, and prevented diseases. Early Persians and Arabs believed opals fell from the heavens in flashes of lightning(which accounted for their fiery play-of-color) and when worn as a talisman, would protect against lightening strikes. Celebrating this cultural inheritance we offer an absolutely gorgeous, natural"black" opal from Australia originally produced in the 1920's. This is a very uncommon gemstone, difficu

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.
