EMRALD

The history of emeralds is long and prolific; in fact, records show that the gem was bought and sold in Babylonian markets as early as 4000 BC. Egyptian Queen Cleopatra is possibly the most famous admirer of emeralds, and her own mine was rediscovered a century ago – one of the earliest confirmations of emeralds in history. Even ancient Western literature contains references to these rare stones: Aristotle wrote that owning an emerald would help the wearer with victory in trials, settling litigation, success in business matters and even with poor eyesight.


Later, emeralds were highly prized by the Incas and Aztecs when discovered in Colombia. Many other cultures have embraced emeralds as their own, and ascribe much value to the green gems. Whether a centerpiece of Russian crown jewels, part of a collection of the Iranian State Treasure, or a favorite of Indian Shahs, emeralds have long been associated with royalty and status. Shah Jahan of India, famous for buenailding the Taj Mahal, was so enamored by emeralds that he inscribed his collection with sacred texts and used them as talismans.



There is no doubt that emeralds have always been valued for their mythological powers and strengths. The gem was commonly known to help and soothe vision (Nero was said to view gladiator fights through a large, transparent emerald), and the colour green has always had an association with spring and rebirth. In fact, ancient Egyptians often buried mummies with an emerald hung from their neck in hopes of providing eternal youth.



Many physical and emotional ailments are also said to be helped by wearing emeralds. Throughout time, these gems have been assigned healing powers for: depression, insomnia, the immune system, diabetes and blood detoxification, among many others. As if that wasn’t enough, emeralds are also associated with love, fidelity, inspiration, wisdom, harmony, growth, patience, peace and abundance.

But these men have developed a taste for diamonds and buy diamond gifts to make their beloved happy because they know diamond will do the work for them.

We are such a producer who work with Love for LOVE


The name diamond is derived from the Greek ancient ἀδάμας (adámas), "unbreakable, untamed", from ἀ- (a-), "un-" + δαμάω (damáō), "I overpower, I tame. However, diamonds are thought to have been first recognized and mined in India, where significant alluvial deposits of the stone could then be found many centuries ago along the rivers Penner, Krishna and Godavari. Diamonds have been known in India for at least 3000 years but most likely 6000 years.
Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India. Their usage in engraving tools also dates to early human history. Popularity of diamonds has risen since the 19th century because of increased supply, improved cutting and polishing techniques, growth in the world economy, and innovative and successful advertising campaigns.
