141s BOYS! (AND THEIR RINGS)

I've been thinking about a pretty funny dynamic, I think I've seen it before here on tumblr (Or maybe on some other social network), but I wanted to recreate it with you <3 enjoy♡⸝⸝💌⊹。°˖

When GhostFiancé! decided to propose to you (after having spent more than two years with the ring in his pocket or completely hidden among his things). Simon is not a materialistic man and believes that his love is bigger and more important than any ring.

Ghost opts for a simple and minimalist version, a silver engagement ring with a small diamond in the center, nothing too ostentatious.

“Nothing in this world could ever symbolize the love I feel for you, but the diamond in this ring….. It is the light you represented in my world when I thought all was lost.”

On the other hand SoapFiancé! despite knowing that it's simply the engagement ring, didn't give a fucking shit and walked into the most luxurious jewelry store in all of Manchester.

He wants everyone to know that you are engaged and that you will be his wife, his woman, his queen, the future mother of his children, his world.

No lab jewelry, no shoddy gold; for his future wife a four carat diamond ring with a gold band decorated with smaller diamonds, no one really expected Johnny to ask you to marry him, because everyone at 141 never thought he would settle down.

“Oh honey, you can't hide anywhere, let all those bastards know you're only mine.”

JohnFiancé! is a completely classic man, in his mind was always the idea of proposing to you at the right time with the perfect ring.

Price came to the jewelry store with a clear idea: A classic ring.

But he conveniently ended up leaving the store with a gold band decorated with a Colombian emerald in the center, a completely exotic and custom-made piece for his bride-to-be.

(Although the only thing convenient was not the value of the ring, John has never been a stingy man when it comes to you, but considering how expensive a wedding is, his pocket will probably end up a little tight).

“It's a one of a kind piece, one of a kind on the whole planet…. And I'm not talking about the ring.”

GazFiancé! would probably be a damn cheapskate, he is aware of how expensive it can be to organize a wedding; the rings, the hall for the guests, the flowers, the wedding planner, everything!

Gaz is just avoiding marriage so he doesn't overspend.

“But babe, don't you like the candy ring I bought you?”

For more than 4,000 years, emeralds have been among the most valuable of all jewels.

Colombia, located in northern South America, is the country that mines and produces the most emeralds for the global market, as well as the most desirable.

It is estimated that Colombia accounts for 70–90% of the world's emerald market. While commercial grade emeralds are quite plentiful, fine and extra fine quality emeralds are extremely rare. Colombian emeralds over 50 carat can cost much more than diamonds of the same size.

The Colombian departments of Boyacá and Cundinamarca, both in the Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes, are the locations where most of the emerald mining takes place.

Although the Colombian emerald trade has a rich history that dates as far back as the pre-Columbian era, the increase in worldwide demand for the industry of the gemstones in the early 20th century has led prices for emeralds to nearly double on the global market.

Until 2016, the Colombian emerald trade was at the center of Colombia's civil conflict, which has plagued the country since the 1950s.

For thousands of years, emeralds have been mined and considered one of the world's most valuable jewels.

The first ever recorded emeralds date back to ancient Egypt, where they were particularly admired by Queen Cleopatra.

In addition to their aesthetic value, emeralds were highly valued in ancient times because they were believed to increase intelligence, protect marriages, ease childbirth, and thought to enable its possessor the power of predicting future events.

An ancient Colombian legend exists of two immortal human beings, a man and a woman—named Fura and Tena—created by the Muisca god Are in order to populate the earth.

The only stipulation by Are was that these two human beings had to remain faithful to each other in order to retain their eternal youth. Fura, the woman, however, did not remain faithful.

As a consequence, their immortality was taken away from them. Both soon aged rapidly, and they eventually died. Are later took pity on the unfortunate beings and turned them into two crags protected from storms and serpents and in whose depths Fura's tears became emeralds.

Today, the Fura and Tena peaks, rising approximately 840 and 500 meters, respectively, above the valley of the Minero River, are the official guardians of Colombia's emerald zone. They are located roughly 30 km north of the mines of Muzo, the location of the largest emerald mines in Colombia.

Historians believe the indigenous people of Colombia mastered the art of mining as early as 500 AD. But Spanish Conquistadors are the ones who are credited with discovering and marketing globally what we now call Colombian emeralds.

Colombia, during pre-colonial times, was occupied by Muzo indigenous people, who were overpowered by Spain in the mid-1500s. It took Spain five decades to overpower the tribal Muzo people who occupied this entire mining area.

Once in control, the Spanish forced this native, indigenous population to work the mining fields that it previously held for many centuries.

Monarchs and the gem-loving royalty in India, Turkey, and Persia eventually sought the New World treasures once the gems arrived in Europe.

These new emerald owners expanded their private collections with spectacular artifacts bedazzled with emeralds between 1600 and 1820, the time frame of Spain's control over the Colombian mines.

After Colombia's independence from Spain in 1819, the new government and other private mining companies assumed mining operations. Over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, these mines were periodically shut down numerous times because of political situations within the country.

Colombian emeralds are much sought after, and not just because of their superb quality and color. A gem's value depends upon its size, purity, color and brilliance. Even when they are mined in the same area, each individual emerald has its own unique look that sets it apart from the rest.

Dark green is considered to be the most beautiful, scarce, and valuable color for emeralds. An emerald of this color is considered rare and is only found in the deepest mines of Colombia.

The eastern portion of the Andes, between the Boyacá and Cundinamarca departments, is where most Colombian emeralds are mined.

The three major mines in Colombia are Muzo, Coscuez, and Chivor. Muzo and Coscuez are on long-term leases from the government to two Colombian companies, while Chivor is a privately owned mine. Muzo remains the most important emerald mine in the world to this date.

The terms Muzo and Chivor do not always refer to the particular mines that carry the same name. Instead, the two terms, originating from the local indigenous language, often describe the quality and color of emeralds. Muzo refers to a warm, grassy-green emerald, with hints of yellow. Chivor, on the other hand, describes a deeper green color.

Thank you for this great reference material! Colombian emeralds are absolutely world renowned. But, when it comes to wearing the fuck out of emeralds no one can out do the Ambanis. This necklace alone is rumored to be worth $60 million USD 😮‍💨

In 1678, a Chaldean priest from Baghdad reached the Imperial Villa of Potosí, the world’s richest silver-mining camp and at the time the world’s highest city at more than 4,000 metres (13,100 feet) above sea level. A regional capital in the heart of the Bolivian Andes, Potosí remains – more than three and a half centuries later – a mining city today. [...] The great red Cerro Rico or ‘Rich Hill’ towered over the city of Potosí. It had been mined since 1545 [...]. When Don Elias arrived [...], the great boom of 1575-1635 – when Potosí alone produced nearly half the world’s silver – was over, but the mines were still yielding the precious metal. [...]

On Potosí’s main market plaza, indigenous and African women served up maize beer, hot soup and yerba mate. Shops displayed the world’s finest silk and linen fabrics, Chinese porcelain, Venetian glassware, Russian leather goods, Japanese lacquerware, Flemish paintings and bestselling books in a dozen languages. [...]

Pious or otherwise, wealthy women clicked Potosí’s cobbled streets in silver-heeled platform shoes, their gold earrings, chokers and bracelets studded with Indian diamonds and Burmese rubies. Colombian emeralds and Caribbean pearls were almost too common. Peninsular Spanish ‘foodies’ could savour imported almonds, capers, olives, arborio rice, saffron, and sweet and dry Castilian wines. Black pepper arrived from Sumatra and southwest India, cinnamon from Sri Lanka, cloves from Maluku and nutmeg from the Banda Islands. Jamaica provided allspice. Overloaded galleons spent months transporting these luxuries across the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans. Plodding mule and llama trains carried them up to the lofty Imperial Villa.

---

Potosi supplied the world with silver, the lifeblood of trade and sinews of war [...]. In turn, the city consumed the world’s top commodities and manufactures. [...] The city’s dozen-plus notaries worked non-stop inventorying silver bars and sacks of pesos [...]. Mule trains returning from the Pacific brought merchandise and mercury, the essential ingredient for silver refining. [...] From Buenos Aires came slavers with captive Africans from Congo and Angola, transshipped via Rio de Janeiro. Many of the enslaved were children branded with marks mirroring those, including the royal crown, inscribed on silver bars.

Soon after its 1545 discovery, Potosí gained world renown [...]. Mexico’s many mining camps [...] peaked only after 1690. [...] Even in the Andes of South America there were other silver cities [...]. But no silver deposit in the world matched the Cerro Rico, and no other mining-refining conglomeration grew so large. Potosí was unique: a mining metropolis.

Thus Don Elias, like others, made the pilgrimage to the silver mountain. It was a divine prodigy, a hierophany. In 1580, Ottoman artists depicted Potosí as a slice of earthly paradise, the Cerro Rico lush and green, the city surrounded by crenellated walls. Potosí, as Don Quixote proclaimed, was the stuff of dreams. Another alms seeker, in 1600, declared the Cerro Rico the Eighth Wonder of the World. A [...] visitor in 1615 gushed: ‘Thanks to its mines, Castile is Castile, Rome is Rome, the pope is the pope, and the king is monarch of the world.’ [...]

---

For all its glory, Potosí was also the stuff of nightmares [...].

Almost a century before Don Elias visited Potosí, Viceroy Francisco de Toledo revolutionised world silver production. Toledo was a hard-driving bureaucrat of the Spanish empire [...]. Toledo reached Potosí in 1572, anxious to flip it into the empire’s motor of commerce and war. By 1575, the viceroy had organised a sweeping labour draft, launched a ‘high-tech’ mill-building campaign, and overseen construction of a web of dams and canals to supply the Imperial Villa with year-round hydraulic power, all in the high Andes at the nadir of the Little Ice Age. Toledo also oversaw construction of the Potosí mint, staffed full-time with enslaved Africans. [...] Toledo’s successes came with a steep price. Thanks to the viceroy’s ‘reforms’, hundreds of thousands of Andeans became virtual refugees (those who survived) and, in the search for timber and fuel, colonists denuded hundreds of miles of fragile, high-altitude land. [...] The city’s smelteries belched lead and zinc-rich smoke [...].

The Habsburg kings of Spain cared little about Potosí’s social and environmental horrors. [...] For more than a century, the Cerro Rico fuelled the world’s first global military-industrial complex, granting Spain the means to prosecute decades-long wars on a dozen fronts – on land and at sea. No one else could do all this and still afford to lose. [...]

By [...] 1909 [...], mineral rushes had helped to produce cities such as San Francisco and Johannesburg, but nothing quite compared for sheer audacity with the Imperial Villa of Potosí, a neo-medieval mining metropolis perched in the Andes of South America.

Emerald Stone Price Guide - I

Various factors determine the cost of an emerald stone; these factors include its color, clarity, carat weight as well as its origin. The samples with deep green coloration with the least amount of inclusions are valued at a higher price. The Colombian and Zambian emeralds are considered to be the best of their kind since they are priced between $500 to $10,500 per carat. Larger stones, which have an intense hue quality and brightness, can get even more expensive. Work on the stone such as oiling in order to improve clarity will reduce the value of the stone. If you are buying, make sure that the emerald is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. Like the general quality, the cut gets to be a determinant of the final cost of the leather car seats. Please recall, for this very reason, emeralds are that much more valuable and expensive than most of the other kinds of gemstone there are.

What is the difference between a Colombian Emerald and a Brazilian Emerald? Which one is more precious?

Imagine two pools of emerald fire, each captivating in its own way. That's the essence of Colombian versus Brazilian emeralds.

The Enchanting Colombian:

Colombian emeralds are the undisputed kings of the emerald world. Their allure lies in their intense, deep green color, often described as a vibrant "hoja verde," Spanish for green leaf. Trace amounts of chromium paint these gems with a life and vibrancy unmatched elsewhere. They can even boast a rare bluish tinge, adding an air of sophistication.

However, Colombian emeralds are often more likely to have inclusions, tiny fissures that tell the story of their fiery journey from deep within the Earth. These inclusions, far from detracting from the beauty, can be seen as a mark of authenticity, like a fingerprint in the gem world.

The Luminous Brazilian:

Brazilian emeralds offer a different kind of magic. Their brilliance lies in their exceptional clarity. Often a lighter, yellowish-green, they allow light to dance within, creating a captivating brilliance. Imagine a lush, emerald forest bathed in sunlight, that's the feel of a Brazilian emerald.

While not as intensely colored as their Colombian cousins, Brazilian emeralds are renowned for their larger sizes and fewer inclusions. This makes them ideal for those who desire a flawless, breathtaking stone.

The Price of Majesty:

Due to their legendary color and historical prestige, Colombian emeralds generally command a higher price tag. They've graced the collections of royalty and celebrities for centuries, adding to their allure. However, the beauty of a Brazilian emerald shouldn't be underestimated. Their clarity and brilliance make them perfect for those seeking a flawless statement piece.

Ultimately, the choice between a Colombian and Brazilian emerald depends on your personal preference. Do you crave the historic depth and vibrant fire of Colombia? Or are you drawn to the flawless brilliance and lighter hues of Brazil?

Characteristics and Grading of Loose Emerald Stones

 Loose Emerald Stones are known for their stunning green color, which is the result of trace amounts of chromium, vanadium, and iron in the crystal structure. The color, clarity, and cut of an emerald are the most important characteristics that determine its value. The most desirable emeralds have a deep, rich green color with a slight bluish tint, excellent transparency, and minimal inclusions. The cut of an emerald is also crucial to its beauty, as it can enhance or detract from the stone's color and brilliance. When an emerald is cut with proper proportions, it can display exceptional fire and brilliance.

Grading systems have been developed to assess the quality of emeralds. The most commonly used grading system for emeralds is the Natural AAA, AA, or A grading system. Additionally, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) offers a classification service for emerald clarity treatments, which involves examining a loose stone and providing a report on its clarity. Calibrated emeralds are also available in round, emerald, and oval cuts, which are selected by their measurements. Navneet Gems & Minerals proposed a grading system for emerald clarity, which takes into account the number, size, and location of inclusions.

Several factors can affect the value of an emerald, including its size, color, clarity, and origin. The price of emeralds can vary greatly depending on market demand and availability  In general, larger emeralds with excellent color, clarity, and cut are more valuable than smaller, lower-quality stones.

Lastly, checking for sparkle by holding the gem up to a light can be an indicator of quality. By considering these factors, you can ensure that you're purchasing a high-quality loose emerald stone.

Proper care and maintenance of emeralds is crucial to ensure their longevity and beauty.  Loose Emerald Stones are a relatively soft gemstone, so they require gentle cleaning to avoid damage.

By following these care guidelines, you can keep your loose emerald stones looking beautiful for years to come.

Loose emerald stones are a popular choice for use in jewelry, particularly in necklaces, rings, and pendants. They can be paired with other gemstones or used on their own to create stunning pieces.
