About the Item

The "Emerald Carving Lady," weighing 106.02 carats and standing at 2.2 inches, beautifully embodies the spirit of an Indian village lady. This exquisite carving symbolizes the age-old tradition of these women walking a considerable distance from the river to fetch water, carrying it back in a "Matka," a traditional vessel. The detailed carving not only celebrates the daily lives of village women but also honors the symbolic importance of this routine. The emerald, sourced from the mines of Zambia, Africa, bears witness to the craftsmanship of artisans from Rajasthan, India. This piece serves as a meaningful reminder of the strength and traditions of these women, making it not just a work of art but a connection to the heart of village life in India. Whether displayed as a testament to cultural richness or used as a conversation starter, this carving brings a touch of tradition and symbolism to any space. All our stones and diamonds are from naturally sourced origins. Nothing is man made or unethically sourced. We are a third generation company (over 100 years) and have been established in Hong Kong since 1961. We stand by our descriptions and accuracy and promise to deliver fair and equitable products to all. Please contact us for any queries. Happy shopping!
