Emerald
Pliny the Elder quite rightly described emeralds when he said 'Nothing Greens Greener'. The lush green color of emerald is its most distinguished character, that makes it the chosen gemstone since centuries. From the seductive Empress Cleopatra who ruled Egypt centuries ago and was considered to be a big patron of emeralds to the modern day Hollywood diva Angelina Jolie, who simmered at the Oscars this year with her
emerald jewelry, this beautiful gemstone has remained coveted.
Emeralds are enchanting in any form of jewelry, whether emerald rings, earrings or pendants. Being of a softer variety as compared to other gemstones, emeralds need to be cared for and tended. This magnificent gemstone that is believed to be favorite of Emperor Shah Jahan also bears great healing powers. Emeralds also stand for endurance and constancy in love. Besides the beautiful green color quite aptly reflects an evergreen and robust longstanding relationship.
