The Bloody Legacy of Emeralds – The Gemstone of Lovers | Ancient Origins

 

Colour and Value

Emeralds are one of the most precious gemstones in the world and are prized for their vivid green colour, which comes from the presence of chromium and vanadium in the crystal structure. The deeper and richer the green colour of an emerald, the more valuable it is considered to be. At Silver Hollow Jewellery we can work with you to find the perfect stone for any budget.

One of the most popular pieces of custom gemstone jewellery is a classic prong set ring. Our gemstone rings come in a variety of styles, from simple bezel set designs to intricate custom-engraved pieces. Each ring is crafted with care and precision to highlight the natural beauty of the stone. If you're interested in an emerald piece we can also offer emerald earrings, necklaces, and bracelets that are perfect for any occasion, from everyday wear to special events.

 

History and Healing

Apart from their stunning beauty, emeralds are also believed to have a number of spiritual and healing properties. In ancient times, emeralds were believed to have the power to heal and soothe the eyes, and were even used as a talisman for protection against evil spirits. They are also believed to promote emotional balance and healing, making them a popular choice for those seeking to balance their mind, body, and soul.
