History: The celestial blue color of this gemstone symbolized heaven and attracted divine favor and wise judgment. Greeks wore sapphire for guidance when seeking answers from the oracle. Buddhists believed that it brought spiritual enlightenment, and Hindus used it during worship.

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.

Nowadays, the green gold is rare, but very popular metal. It is still very popular among jewelry collectors who adore the unusual jewels. But, it is not so easy to buy the green jewelry piece in the shop. It is a common practice to order the green jewel in catalogues of famous jewelry houses.

Also known as Electrum, green gold is a combination of gold and silver that can be found in nature. The alloy's light green tint is subtle and often invisible to the untrained eye. Still, whether bold or subdued, the green color attracts jewelry lovers looking for metal as unique as it is beautiful.

This particular ring is crafted in antique gold, therefore it is not too green but a perfect rich gentle yellow gold with a slight green hue, which makes for a unique and rare example.
