Emeralds

Emerald, the green variety of Beryl, is the most ​famous and valuable green gemstone. Its ​beautiful green color, combined with durability ​and rarity, makes it one of the most expensive ​gemstones.

The oldest emeralds dated back almost three ​billion years ago. However, they were first mined ​in Egypt around 1500BC, where it was believed ​that emeralds stood for fertility and rebirth. ​Mummies were often buried with them to ​symbolize eternal youth. The Incas and Aztecs ​also valued these rich green gems, worshipping ​them as gods.

Still, in the present day, people admire the beauty ​and elegance of emeralds and want to have them ​in their possession.

Artist's Inspiration

The Muslim artist, who made this handcraft was ​inspired by the green dome of "Nabawi Mosque" in ​Madina, Saudi Arabia, just like millions of other ​Muslims around the world.

The mosque dome showcases the beautiful and ​mesmerizing strength and impact of Islamic culture ​and customs, and hence Muslim's fondness for the ​green color stems majorly from the iconic vibrant ​color of this dome.

The artist's personal visit to the holy center left him ​touched by the spirit of the place and motivated the ​use of some of the world's most valuable materials ​(gems) to express his faithful devotion.

The deep hues of the emerald stone capture the ​intricate beauty of this historical mosque dome, and ​hence inspired the artist to combine the two in a ​passionately handcrafted portrait.
