So what if my daughter was born in June? I wanted to give her a really cool middle name. The emerald held special meaning to me at the time, so I went with it. I think these are more beautiful than diamonds, mainly because I love the color.
Per Gembrokers.org Roman emperor Nero wore emerald sunglasses to watch the gladiators because he was advised sight is refreshed and restored by gazing upon this stone.
So there is the poor gladiator, beat for sport and Nero is watching through emerald glasses. Sort of makes me hate him and want to be him at the same time.
One reason I love working with glass beads is because I would never be able to work with something like emeralds or diamonds--but these look almost as pretty.
What is your favorite gemstone and why?
