Emerald ring in 950 silver with 24k gold plating

Ring No. 18, crafted in high-purity 950 silver with an African emerald, grade A+, measuring 4 x 3 mm. The stone is set within the ring's band without any protruding edges. This ring is plated with 24k gold, micron quality (highest commercial quality).

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.
