The origin of emeralds traces back to the Greek term 'Smaragdus,' translating to green. The first emerald mines were dug in Egypt around 330 BC. These gems have adorned the jewellery collections of many famed personalities, including the last royal heir of Italy, Queen Marie Jose, and the stunning Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie.  

 

Among the noteworthy emerald pieces, the emerald and diamond necklace from the collection of Queen Marie Jose of Belgium stands out. It showcases 50 emeralds, finely complemented by countless colourless diamonds. Additionally, 'elephant diamond', a unique emerald and diamond necklace once owned by Anita Delgado, the famed Spanish flamenco dancer, holds a significant place in history.  

 

Hollywood has also experienced a sparkle of emerald, with Angelina Jolie flaunting her emerald earrings featuring 115 carats of these green gems at the 2009 Oscars. The extravagant emerald and diamond parure from the incredible collection of Elizabeth Taylor, valued at a whopping 100 million dollars, demonstrates the emerald's symbol of smart investment and quality.
