Why We Love It

This ring is an incredible piece! The craftsmanship is extraordinary and made with high-quality stones! We love the pop of color from the green emeralds paired with the bright white diamonds! While this is a bold ring, nothing about it is overstated. The central diamond is still the main attraction with beautiful, sparkling clarity. The calibre cut emeralds and the millegrain details help to tie everything together. Every stone fits so perfectly in a lovely Art Deco arrangement. The pattern is both floral and geometric, which helps to make the overall shape of the ring so interesting! The Minerva ring is an all-around unique emerald engagement ring with gorgeous diamonds!

Everything About Emeralds!

Well, not everything. But emeralds are fascinating. There’s a reason they’re the stone used in the city of Oz. Long associated with magic and mystery, emeralds are surrounded in interesting folklore. They are typically believed to help discern truth, sharpen intuition, prevent memory loss, and even see into the future! With their verdant color, emeralds are also associated with fertility and rebirth, making them the perfect birthstone for the month of May!

Today, most emeralds are mined from the mountains of Colombia, but they can be found all across the world, typically near large deposits of quartz. A favorite stone of Cleopatra, the earliest emeralds came from Egypt circa 1500 B.C.
