📜 Origin & History

The history of emerald as a gemstone dates back to ancient Egypt; Cleopatra VII's obsession with it elevated this crisp green to the pinnacle of power and luxury.

Throughout the long medieval and Renaissance periods, emerald green was one of the most expensive pigments in painting, used to depict the robes of the Virgin Mary and angels, symbolizing divinity and eternity.

In the 20th century, with the systematization of color science, this bright hue between green and cyan was standardized, moving out of royal palaces and churches to serve popular aesthetics.

Today's Emerald Green inherits the noble lineage of the gemstone while incorporating modern aesthetics' pursuit of clarity and transparency, becoming a color that is both classic and vibrant.
