Emerald

Emerald is the green of spring itself, prized by Persian kings and set into jewels for thousands of years, each stone holding a tiny hidden garden.

The story of emerald

In Persian it is zomorrod, and few stones have been loved there longer. In Iran, emerald has long been a symbol of wealth and success, worn to mark prosperity and achievement. The crown jewels of Iran, kept in Tehran, hold some of the largest emeralds in the world. Its green comes from traces of chromium in beryl, and almost every emerald carries fine inclusions that jewellers call its jardin, its garden.

At Ashayer, emerald is set by hand by artisans in Iran, carrying that long green tradition into pieces made to be worn and kept.
