The history of the emerald dates back to 4000 BC when it was first sold in Babylon markets. The emerald has fascinated many cultures for thousands of years and is worn by royalty and celebrities who believe in its ability to bring power and wealth. Carat for carat, the emerald may be worth two to three times as much as a diamond.
Although different cultures argue about its meaning, the emerald is thought to bring good luck, fertility, wealth, and victory in trials. Many leaders throughout the years wore clothing and jewelry adorned with emeralds. Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, had several emerald mines that produced many of the earliest gems known to human history, and some are still on display in museums around the world.
