The feminine power of the emerald

Emeralds have a history as long as that of civilized man's ancient gemstones. The first manuscript in the world mentions the emerald stone in its lines. In fact, the Egyptians, Romans, Indians, Aztecs and Incas have worshiped this stone since ancient times. Even Aristotle, the renowned Greek philosopher, mentioned the green gemstone in his writings, saying that it can improve the eyesight and also the status of an individual.

Cleopatra is perhaps the most famous historical figure who helped spread the preference for the seductive color emerald green. During her reign, Cleopatra claimed ownership of all the emerald mines in Egypt, possessing an amazing collection of emerald jewelry  with which he often adorned himself. Legend has it that he used to gift emerald gems to dignitaries and politicians of those times, most likely with the intention of showing off his wealth and power.

Going back to our times, a more subtle way Hollywood ladies showed their dedication to this precious stone was by choosing emerald jewelry. Beyond the beauty of the emerald, this gemstone is deeply symbolic, being associated with divine feminine power, birth, fertility and creation. Emeralds were associated with goddesses such as Venus and Umina in Ancient Peru.

The emerald acknowledges feminine power and creativity since the beginning of time and evokes due respect for these.
