📜 Origin & History

Emerald is one of the five great precious gemstones; as early as 1500 BC, ancient Egyptian pharaohs were mining emeralds along the Red Sea coast, and Cleopatra VII was an avid collector of them.

The ancient Romans believed emerald could relieve eye fatigue; Emperor Nero was said to have watched gladiator matches through a piece of emerald, thus endowing this green with the magic of healing and tranquility.

In the 16th century, Spanish conquistadors brought back top-quality Colombian emeralds from South America; their rich, saturated green stunned European royalty, making them an indispensable gemstone on crowns and scepters.

The RAL color chart includes it as a standard color, allowing this precious hue, once belonging only to the elite, to be widely applied in industry and design, entering everyday life.
