NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Rubies were amongst the earliest gemstones traded by mankind. Since the 5th millennium B.C. From the most ancient times all the way through the medieval world, ruby was worn by the classical Mediterranean civilizations(Greeks, Romans, Persians, and the Indo-European“Celtic” peoples) as an amulet for protection from lightening, plagues, poison, sorrow, and evil spirits. The ancient populations of the Mediterranean also believed that the color of a ruby would change mirroring changes in the health of its owner, and that the color would drain from a ruby at the moment its owner died. In the classical world, rubies from Afghanistan, Ceylon, and Burma were traded in the ancient port cities of the Eastern Mediterranean(often by Phoenicians) and from there traveled throughout Europe. Here's an absolutely exquisite, exceptionally good quality 19th century antique hand faceted ruby from Siam(present day Thailand) Hand crafted by a 19th century Russian artisan.

DETAIL: The ancient Greeks and their forbearers produced some of the ancient world’s finest goldsmiths. By about 2400BC the Minoans of Crete were producing diadems. Hair ornaments, beads, bracelets, and complex chains. By 2000BC their designs were incorporating Near Eastern techniques of filigree and granulation and design elements from ancient Egypt. Minoan culture and its jewelry styles spread to the mainland of Greece, then dominated by the city-state of Mycenea, about 1550 B.C. Gold coinage was introduced by King Croesus of Lydia in the sixth century B.C. a revolutionary concept in international trade. Gold was plentiful in Greece during the Hellenistic Age(323-30 B.C. and Greek jewelry of this period is characterized by its great variety of forms and fine workmanship. By 325 B.C. the Greeks were mining gold from Gibraltar to Asia Minor. And trading for gold with the Phoenician/Carthaginians, Scythians, and Dacians.

In the ancient gemstone markets of Babylon, 5,000 years ago, pearls were prized possessions believed to restore youth. A fragment of the oldest known pearl jewelry, found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess who died in 520 BC, is displayed in the Louvre in Paris. In Islamic Scripture, the Koran specifies that the rewards of paradise include pearls. God will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds, to gardens beneath which rivers flow. They shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk. The spherical shape of some pearls also led many ancient cultures to associate this gem with the moon. To the Ancient Persians, pearls symbolized the moon and its magical powers, the moon instilling pearls with its celestial glow and mystery. Celebrating this cultural legacy here's a gorgeous. Highly polished, reflective, lustrous, creamy white pearl. This is not the typical, cheap, thinly covered Chinese cultured pearl. This is a genuine, high quality cultured pearl.

The ancient seafaring Phoenicians then brought the gold and silver from the Western Mediterranean and traded through the ancient Mediterranean world. Eventually the Phoenician colony of Carthage became the leading power of the Eastern Mediterranean(Hannibal’s father was not only a Carthaginian General but also a precious metals merchant) and gained control over these valuable Spanish deposits.

The default chain(absent contrary instructions) is silver electroplate, 24 inches. We also have available handcrafted Greek black leather cords. DETAIL: The oldest silver artifacts found by archaeologists date from ancient Sumeria about 4.000 B.C. At many points in the ancient world, silver was actually more costly than gold, particularly in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians believed that the skin of their gods was composed of gold, and their bones were thought to be of silver. The first large-scale silver mines were in Anatolia(ancient Turkey) and Armenia, where as early as 4,000 B.C. silver was extracted from lead ores. From Turkey and Armenia silver refining technology spread to the rest of Asia Minor and Europe. By about 2,500 B.C. the Babylonians were one of the major refiners of silver. The high value ancient cultures place on silver is demonstrated by the fact that some of the richest burials in history uncovered by archaeologists have been from this time frame; that of Queen Puabi of Ur, Sumeria(26th century B.C. Tutankhamun(14th century B.C. and the rich Trojan(25th century B.C. and Mycenaean(18th century B.C. treasures uncovered by Heinrich Schliemann. In celebration of this heritage.

The name“tourmaline” came from the Celanese word"turmali, which means"mixed" Bright rainbow collections of gemstone varieties were called"turmali" parcels.

Size 6 1/2(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: The oldest silver artifacts found by archaeologists date from ancient Sumeria about 4.000 B.C. At many points in the ancient world, silver was actually more costly than gold, particularly in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians believed that the skin of their gods was composed of gold, and their bones were thought to be of silver. The first large-scale silver mines were in Anatolia(ancient Turkey) and Armenia, where as early as 4,000 B.C. silver was extracted from lead ores. From Turkey and Armenia silver refining technology spread to the rest of Asia Minor and Europe. By about 2,500 B.C. the Babylonians were one of the major refiners of silver. The high value ancient colutures place on silver is demonstrated by the fact that some of the richest burials in history uncovered by archaeologists have been from this time frame; that of Queen Puabi of Ur, Sumeria(26th century B.C. Tutankhamun(14th century B.C. and the rich Trojan(25th century B.C. and Mycenaean(18th century B.C. treasures uncovered by Heinrich Schliemann. Celebrating that heritage.
