Wonderful gifts are often deep green and sparkling. Cherished for millennia, emeralds have been mined as early as 330 B.C. in Egypt, but some gemologists estimate that the oldest ones are billions of years old. Perhaps the most famous figure to cherish emeralds is Cleopatra, who claimed ownership of all emerald mines in Egypt during her reign. More recent celebrities who love emeralds include Elizabeth Taylor, who owned a famous pendant that sold for $6.5 million.

The emerald is a symbol of loyalty, new beginnings, peace and security. Given with these representations in mind, it is a meaningful gift both for the giver and the receiver.

In Ancient Greece, the beautiful citrine was used for ornamentation during the Hellenistic Age between 300 and 150 B.C. In the 17th century, Scottish warriors embedded citrine gemstones in the handles of daggers and swords, not only for decorative purposes, but also because they thought it would bring them success on the battlefield. One entire sword was crafted from citrine! Between World Wars, movie stars were fond of wearing oversized and elaborate citrine jewels.

The Roman Emperor Hadrian ruled over the most prosperous and peaceful times in the history of Rome, had a ring set with a topaz which was engraved with Roman letters. The inscription was an expression of faith in the Almighty to overrule nature and fortune most appropriate to him who wore the ring. Called “The Stone of Strength” by Pliny, he described it as a most valuable gemstone.

Clear topaz stones have sometimes been mistaken as diamonds. A 1,680 carat “diamond” was discovered in Brazil in 1740.

After it was determined to be not a diamond but a topaz, it was retained by the Portuguese and is still proudly displayed.
