Золота каблучка зі смарагдом

Emerald is a regal gemstone, one of the most desirable in the world, belonging to the beryl group. Its unique, rich green color, which varies from bright green to deep bluish green, is due to the presence of traces of chromium and/or vanadium. It is this unique shade, known as "emerald green", that makes it a symbol of luxury and sophistication.

The most valuable emeralds historically come from Colombia, but significant deposits are also found in Zambia, Brazil, Afghanistan and other countries. These minerals are formed in difficult geological conditions, often in hydrothermal veins or metamorphic rocks, which explains their relative rarity and the presence of characteristic inclusions, called "jardin" (garden) and which are often a sign of natural origin. Since ancient times, emerald has been valued not only for its beauty, but also associated with rebirth, hope and eternal spring. It was considered a stone of wisdom and foresight.

Today, the emerald remains one of the most valuable "first-class" gemstones, widely used in fine jewelry and a coveted object for collectors. The emerald's unparalleled beauty and rich history make it more than just a mineral, but a true treasure of nature, symbolizing life, harmony and timeless elegance.
