Mother-of-pearl ring with emeralds and cubic zirconia

Size 21 ring crafted in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, featuring two mother-of-pearl flowers, each 8 mm in diameter, and five faceted emeralds in various cuts, measuring 5 x 4 mm. The ring design consists of two flowers perpendicular to the band, with one flower nestled among the emeralds to resemble leaves. Cubic zirconia stones are set in the center of each flower, adding sparkle.

Nacre:

It comes from Arabic and means conch. The shells that provide the most beautiful mother-of-pearl include haliotids, nautiluses, and pintadinas, among others. Depending on the animal's diet, pearls of many different colors can be obtained. Black pearls can even be found in the South Pacific Ocean. The mother-of-pearl of the New Zealand haliotis australis species, with its iridescent blue-green sheen, was used by the Maori for centuries to create inlays on mystical wooden carvings.

Origin: Japan.

Properties: Makes people sweet and flattering.

Zodiac Sign: Cancer

Emerald:

The green color comes from a mixture of other minerals, including chromium, vanadium, and iron, which gives it a bluish tint. In natural light, the true essence of emeralds is easier to discern, while artificial light can expose internal fractures in the stone caused by the glare. In ancient European and Indian cultures, the emerald was associated with Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of journeys, sleep, and dreams, and was therefore considered the stone of divine inspiration.

Origin: Africa.

Properties: Inspires, provides patience, unconditional love, fosters friendship.
