- Emerald’s lush green has soothed souls and excited imaginations since antiquity. Its name comes from the ancient Greek word for green, “Smaragdus.” Rome’s Pliny the Elder described emerald in his Natural History, published in the first century AD: “…nothing greens greener” was his verdict. He described the use of emerald by early lapidaries, who “have no better method of restoring their eyes than by looking at the emerald, its soft, green color comforting and removing their weariness and lassitude.” Even today, the color green is known to relieve stress and eye strain.
There are other green gems, like tourmaline and peridot, but emerald is the one that’s always associated with the lushest landscapes and the richest greens. Ireland is the Emerald Isle. Seattle, in the US state of Washington, is the Emerald City. Thailand’s most sacred religious icon is called the Emerald Buddha, even though it’s carved from green jadeite.
The first known emerald mines were in Egypt, dating from at least 330 BC into the 1700s. Cleopatra was known to have a passion for emerald and used it in her royal adornments.
Emeralds from what is now Colombia were part of the plunder when sixteenth-century Spanish explorers invaded the New World. The Incas had already been using emeralds in their jewelry and religious ceremonies for 500 years. The Spanish, 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.
Emerald is the most famous member of the beryl family. Legends endowed the wearer with the ability to foresee the future when emerald was placed under the tongue, as well as to reveal the truth and be protected against evil spells. Emerald was once also believed to cure diseases like cholera and malaria. Wearing an emerald was believed to reveal the truth or falseness of a lover’s oath as well as make one an eloquent speaker.
Legend also states that emerald was one of the four precious stones given by God to King Solomon. These four stones were said to have endowed the king with power over all creation.
Its color reflects new spring growth, which makes it the perfect choice of a birthstone for the month of May. It’s also the gemstone for the twentieth and thirty-fifth wedding anniversaries.

For the past 3 days i stumbled upon this channel. Now i am so addicted. Why am i so addicted to watch things i can’t afford? 😓😅
Life isn't about money is why. That's the illusion, the lie we tell ourselves. Many blessings. May you be able to afford fancy jewels in life. I choose relationships personally :)
These jewel's are beautiful I would love to wear them. The actors are also gorgeous.
The creative artistry of the jewellery. Breathtaking.
@@missymoonwillow6545 - But why? You could have both.
I love beautiful things and Emeralds are very beautiful things. I think it's about appreciating them without lusting for them. You know, like a Monet painting.
Beautiful just beautiful! Emeralds are one of my favorite gemstones! Along with sapphires, ruby, amethyst turquoise, opals and pearls.
Wonderful!
Cassandra Ralph. I think your like most people. Colours of some stones are stunning and unbelievable. All down to how they're cut. Wouldn't mind the cushion. Cut ring. Sigh!!
What an amazing emeralds to watch. Its very precious and beautiful
Hello brad, thanks for dropping by...
Emeralds are different. They are expressive......they express love so well....
Please make more of these reports, it reminds us of how rich, nourishing and fulfilling our earth is, 🇬🇭
My star sign gem is Emerald !!! When I found that out I understood my attraction to that exquisite stone !!!
They are just divine !!! Thanks for the very informative video 🙏🙏
Love it I have small cut of emerald from mynmar so grateful
Just speechless bc these works of art are stunning!
Barbara Hutton must have loved green..she was known for her jade pieces and secondly, her emeralds. The jade necklace went for a little over $1,000,000.00. Amazing.
Emerald,s are one
Of the most grandest expensive stones
Yeah, I agree, they are the color of life and tranquility
My favorite story: The Duchess of Windsor was at an A list party in Europe. The Duchess decided to debut her emeralds at the party, whereup a Maharajah complimented the Duchess by saying something like, "Congratulations on your beautiful necklace. I used to wear them on my ankles." The Duchess was never seen to wear them again. At least that is the story I was told.
Talk about putting the nuevo riche Duchess in her place. I love It!
Hahahaha
I think this conversation took place between The Duchess of Windsor and the daughter of Maharani of Baroda, who commented not on the emeralds, but the necklace worn by the former saying oh how beautiful is your neck piece, it belonged to my mother,actually it's an anklet, she wore it at her feet. It is rumoured,Wallis returned it to the jeweller that very day!In India all royals, rajputs and kshatriyas wear gold around their feet, otherwise gold is worshipped and the commoners wear silver. The super rich never wear silver, merely eat off it.
Really I never read this story and it made my day 😅
@@rinasarin3388 The story (the version I told) is found in the
auction book. I leave the reader to decide which one is true. Either way, poor Wallace (who would never be rich enough to erase memories of her poor childhood) was greatly humiliated and embarrassed and I am sure the unlucky Duke was given an earful for not checking more
carefully, the provenance of the emeralds. She was, all told, more royal than the Duke...in her mind.
@@rinasarin3388 Yes, I read that story in a book wtitten by the Maharini.
Beautiful amazing I love watching the video again and again... But I can only own this precious stones in my dreams.....
love emeralds and rubies, I own one of each, very small, but I think they are beautiful.
My favorite emeralds Love them all
Thanksa lot for your video on emeralds.They are the most favourite and preferable gem stones for many celebrities.as well as for those who could obtain them.Columbian emeralds are the most expensive and wonderful ones! I especially admire by the emerald earrings of Anjolina and magnificent brooch which belonged to Elizabeth Tailor.All necklaces presented in your video.are very exquisite indeed and of excellent quality.I am very grateful for your splendid video!!!
Bravo to those, whose Artisans and Artists who realized such Wonderful Masterpieces .
Such Historical value 🎁
Love this particular jewelry
Oooo, I want to wear them all!
😅
You're mentioning Pliny the Elder in your intro, the stone is jade, and I am falling in love with this channel. Not for the gemstones themselves, but for the overall energy and intention behind these videos here on youtube. Much respect Andrew. I see you dude. Namaste 🙏🙏🏿🙏🏽🌈🌎💗👍
Thank you so much 😊
I had dreamed of owning an Emerald Cut Emerald ever since a young child. About 4yrs ago I finally got my wish. Despite the gem being only .61ct, it's colour and clarity is more than I could have asked for. It's set in a yellow gold ring with three channel set Diamonds on each shoulder. I chose the setting and then picked the right Emerald to bring it all together. Despite the size of the Emerald, it still cost AU$1,000 just for the gem. It was of the highest grading available though. It only goes to show that some dreams can come true. I do prefer faceted stones to cabochon but I still would gladly wear both. I'm so lucky that I do not have any obvious inclusions in my Emerald unlike most shown here. That's why it's preferable to have an Emerald Cut to show the clarity. How much I would dream of a pendant and matching earrings but that would just be a bonus as I have what I always dreamed for. What happened to your voice Andrew or are you still too busy to narrate yourself? I can't wait to hear your voice again. I hope you don't mind me making a suggestion for a future video one day. Zircons are having a remarkable stake in the Jewellery Industry but still way too many people get them confused with CZ's. Zircons are the oldest mineral on the face of this earth with the oldest coming from - Australia! The prices are skyrocketing but colours incredibly beautiful. They truly deserve to be rightfully acknowledged for the amazing gem they are. I picked up my Yellow Gold Huggie Earrings with Channel Set Diamonds from my Jeweller the other week and I'm over the moon! Just in time for my birthday. So classic and stylish. I may not have jewels the size of those you show in your videos but what I have truly make me happy. Thanks for showing one of my most special gems today Andrew. I hope you're still doing well and keeping safe. Love always, Kris.🇦🇺🥰💎
Hello dear friend, hope your doing fine, yes i am still busy with work, i have written the script and i would love to tell the story my self, but voice over takes a lot of time and a lot of repeats, remember the Boucheron took me 3 weeks just finished it😅. I am glad your a Fan of Emeralds if you studied the creations of this gems, Emerald is by far the most difficult to create. Any i look into it, your suggestion about Zirconium make thorough study. My next project either be opal or sapphire, or probably ruby, what’s your suggestion 😅
@@AndrewPidor Due to the Ruby mines from Burma being depleted, I would go with Rubies. I had a Ruby Ring made up but gave strict instructions to the Jeweller that the Ruby had to be red and not pink. The best Rubies now are coming from the South of Africa which is where mine is from. It's only .30cts with a Diamond either side of the Round Bezel Set Ruby but I do wear it everyday. Personally, it doesnt worry me where a gem comes from, just as long as I like it and it's good quality. Many are confused about where the next best Ruby source is, so anything showing that they are still widely available would be great. It was hard not to choose Opal being from Australia but maybe you can do that afterwards? That was such a great video of the Emeralds that it was impossible to even choose a favourite piece. They're certainly not cheap! My Emerald and Diamond Ring remains my most expensive piece of jewellery to this day. I thoroughly enjoyed that video. I do hope things begin to settle in your neck of the woods. Your UK strain made it here but luckily was contained but not before the carrier took it out into the community. We had a snap 5 day lockdown and no other cases showed up. Make sure you keep safe - that's an order! Love Kris.
I just hope one of this days when everything settles down, I could see your collections, and hope make a video out of it😁. Ok then it’s Rubies then, i will start gathering info do more research 🧐 and let’s see..
@@AndrewPidor Your next holiday will have to be to Australia! You'd make a great video out of my collection as I have many coloured gems as well as four different colours of gold. I think it would be nice to show a Collection that a regular citizen can acquire and not just the rich. Although I do love to stare in awe at those beauties you show! Can't wait for the Rubies! Love Kris.🥰
I can only dream making such magnificent pieces of jewelry. I am so impressed.
Hello there Carmen are you a jeweler?
The 1 min and 28 seconds intro of the video had a copyright problem, My apologies I had to remove it. I just hope you guys will continue through the story of this amazing emerald collection. 😢🙏🏻
Happy Easter 🐇🐣🍫☮️❤️🙂
Good Collection..
By far my favourite channel. What a great video, so much history. Thank you.
Hi 🙋♂️
It was a pleasure listening to the history and the beauty of such a precious stone ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Andrew!! Hope you are doing well! The only thing that bothers me about these types of videos is that the prices at auction dictate the order - for me it's the beauty. The dollar value changes depending on the current worth of the dollar and who has the money atm to buy them at auction. I love #3 and #1 the first necklace by Patino. Ofc I wouldnt turn any of these down lol. Stunning gems all and thank you for your read more section, very informative. Take care friend, much love to you! ~~Chanel
Hi 🙋♂️ Chanel, i miss our conversations😅, i am just glad you like the video. I am doing fine still very very busy with the second wave.
Bravo, my friend!
Simply lovely!
The Color of Life 😘
So beautiful I felt like royalty watching it.
Hello dear, it’s been a while how are you doing
If you’ve never seen a colored gemstone cabochon in person I highly recommend going to a museum or a high-end jewelry store and gaze into its beauty before you die
Agree totally 💯 🤗😅
You know, green is my least favorite on the color palate. However, there are some things that wouldn’t be the same if they weren’t green, like tabasco sauce! Wonderful video! As always your pictures are top notch and the background music is at just the right volume and tasteful. I always look forward to your videos for a good lesson as you always do your research. Absolutely lovely!🤩
Hello dear friend, i know your waiting for me to make a video about Rubies 😅, still gathering all the details before i will start writing the script. Missing you always dear be safe...
Love love emeralds yes i do
It’s so nice to learn that Colombia produced something so beautiful for the World other than being known for being one of the main suppliers of cocaine. 💚 🇨🇴
Colоmbia does not produces emeralds . Earth produces emeralds on Colоmbian land. Colоmbians are just lucky to discover them and they sell emeralds to other countries.
@@natsalta Semantics but thank you for your clarification.
It’s Colombia, not Columbia.
@@anapuello8871 Of course. I realize that. I’m from Canada and my phone autocorrected to Columbia because of me constantly typing in British Columbia the Province where my family live. I will correct that mistake immediately and again I meant no respect.
@@anapuello8871 thanks
Really beautiful.
A great joy to watch this video. If anyone own these pieces, I would love to borrow for a day and wear something with fantastic history. That alone, to me, is more valuable then the jewels. 💋
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@AndrewPidor Thank you! Do you have any connections with these jewels that I could see them in person and try it on?🥰💋
@@TheBohemianStyle i don’t, I am so sorry dear.
@@AndrewPidor I’m glad that I asked then not to ask. This world is small and you never know. Thank you!😘
Awsomely beautiful ❤
This does not mention that Liz Taylor referred to her emeralds as the Vladimir Emeralds. I believe her stones, as well as some sold to Barbara Hutton were all Vladimir stones.
Not all of the Vladimir Emeralds went to Barbara, the emerald drops on the side of the Vladimir Necklace went to Van Cleef and Arpels later on sold to Princess Faiza as a necklace. The Center Stone was sold separately, but there where 9 stones originally from the Rockefeller before it was sold to Barbara and made it into a Tiara. The pendant of Liz from Bvlgari was from the old mines,
But there is a possibility that her Emerald Necklace and suits was that of the Vladimir Emerald, who knows right 😅
@@AndrewPidor Actually Prince Michael of Greece says they are.
@@jessiejoseph1093 really, i guess my sources where short 😅. I have to dig in..
@@AndrewPidor He has a two part documentary on noble jewels here on you tube, you will love it. There is Prince Michael of Greece, who is cousin to Prince Michael of England, who is cousins to the queen, so confusing, but awesome, get some popcorn.
Amazing
Love is drinking a lot of tea😁

My mother had several Bulgari jewels and she always pronounced the jewelry house as “BULL-ga-ree” vice how the voice in the video pronounces it, “bull-GA-ree.” Sorry, but I’m going with Mother knows best on this one. Lovely video, gorgeous stones; too bad they are soft and prone to breaking, the reason you don’t see many daily wear rings with larger emeralds.
It's an AI voice. They don't kniw how to pronounce things.
My favorite color!
Cabochon Emeralds and Rubies and even sapphires for that matter. Are some of the prettiest ways of displaying them. Especially when you have a stone such as emerald that is so incredibly included that when you present a smooth top as a cabochon the inclusions become part of the stone versus competing with the facets.
I agree with you on that one.
Jewelry doesn't make me more beautiful, but I love to look at jewelry because it is beautiful. I love to look at jewelry more than look at fresh flowers because flowers die so quickly.
Those emerald earrings made Angelina Jolie eyes pop as they were emeralds too
The necklace on the left 0:20 is the most beautiful at all, I would love to know where are it from, but the other emeralds are amazing too!
Oh dear lizzie, how are you my friend. I can give you the story of that necklace 😅
@@AndrewPidor Please, Sir, some of us would love to know the history of said necklace.
@@AndrewPidor really? I would love to know!
you forgot hurrem sultan emerald ring
Beutiful esmeralda.
The emeralds from the Mizo mine in Colombia render the finest quality emeralds in the world, moreover the African Zambian emeralds are most beautiful and are of the finest quality also ❤
o so full beautifull

I used to be embarrassed to buy at thrift stores until I realized that even the wealthy buy second hand goods, including paintings, artefacts, jewellery and furniture.
😅 that is so true...
And sometimes one can be really astounded with they can find there !!!
Wow
minute 6:12, the correct name is Salimah Aga Khan, not "Samilah". The word "Samilah" does not have a meaning

Hi , mr. Pidor ....all your video are nice...thanks
I noticed the colors of your profile photo, it’s like philippine flag colors ? Are you from Philippines ? But I heard your accent is not! Sorry to ask, cz I am Philippine .... thanks we can be friends , greetings from Saipan....😊

@@akosiroi937 to be honest, i really prepared for this video, from the scriptures that i have written to the videos and music selection. And thank God it work, 5k in less than 24 hours is a first for me. The other videos only reach 3k in the first 24 hours...
@@AndrewPidor buti nga sayo yung 5k views 24hours lang ? Saken yung 21k views 4months pa bago umabot dun HAHA

Do you think these jewels will look good on golf course and in yoga class.😀
Factoid I
Emeralds come in every color including red, but then it is known as a ruby.
Factoid 2
VanCleef and Arpels were a married couple.
Factoid 3
Only 5 percent of all emeralds are completely natural.

我只想要得到這本中文版的玫瑰經，因為想了解到它的涵義。
Why do emeralds always look cloudy
Not always, in depends upon the source, of where the emerald was found..

你相不相信我要世上最頂級的珠宝也是可以拿到？
Thank you not interested. I can live without it.
Non pour les voleurs
This is an incomplete document Terry about emeralds you never mentioned Maria Felix necklace or unique piece of art but of course you must be white in order to publish it
why all the photos of Catherine the Great....boring. Where are the photos of the stones? You should allow the viewer more time to see the stones/jewels instead of fancy camera-work that is very distracting
I will put that into consideration, ☺️🙏🏻
