The Legacy of Emerald in Jewelry Design

No one liked emeralds and emerald jewelry more than Elizabeth Taylor (or her alter ego, Cleopatra). Emeralds were first discovered in Egypt around 330 BC. The stone’s name originated from the ancient Greek word for green, “smaragdus.” According to the Gemological Institute of America, “Emeralds from what is now Colombia were part of the plunder when 16th-century Spanish explorers invaded the New World. The Incas had already been using emeralds in their jewelry and religious ceremonies for 500 years. The Spaniards, who treasured gold and silver far more than gems, traded emeralds for precious metals. Their trades opened the eyes of European and Asian royalty to emerald’s majesty.”

There are numerous myths attributed to the emerald’s spiritual powers, like placing an emerald under your tongue will allow you to see the future. But be careful not to swallow the birthstone for May, or that future won’t be so bright!

There are many important (read: large) emeralds in museum collections around the world. The Patricia Emerald, named after the miner’s daughter, is a 632-carat dihexagonal (or 12-sided) crystal that was discovered in Colombia in 1920 and now resides at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington has in its possession the Hooker Emerald, a 75.47-carat Colombian stone. That emerald had been acquired in the 16th or 17th century by Spanish conquistadores and shipped to Europe. It later belonged to Abdul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire (1876–1909), who wore it on his belt buckle. Purchased at auction by Tiffany & Co. in 1911, the Hooker Emerald was set into a tiara and featured in the New York World’s Fair “House of Jewels” exhibit in 1940. Today, it is part of a brooch, also designed by the jewelry house.

On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage emerald jewelry and watches that includes emerald rings, emerald necklaces and other accessories.

Questions About Colombian Emerald Cabochon
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A cabochon emerald is a gemstone that has been cut and polished to feature a dome shape on top and a flat bottom. It is smooth and has no facets. Although faceted gemstones are quite popular, non-faceted gems are also in style. For example, cabochons are smoothly polished instead of faceted, and are usually oval-shaped. Many people love cabochons for their simplicity and elegance. Carved cabochons also make interesting pieces. For example, the cameo gemstone, which features a carved silhouette, has made a resurgence in recent years. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage cabochon emerald jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Colombian emeralds are special because they are purer than the gemstones found in other countries. The lack of iron in their composition gives them a high degree of clarity and more vibrant color. On 1stDibs, find a range of Colombian emerald gemstone jewelry.
