Description

Have you ever wondered where the names of gems come from? What do they symbolize? In some cases, the name is really eloquent as it usually reflects the color, but there are some stones which need to be known a little bit more in order to understand their designation.

 

If you’re curious to find out what the names of gems mean, please receive my invitation of reading a short series of posts on this issue. This is the first part and let’s start with:

* The diamond’s name comes from the Greek “Adamas” meaning invincible, in reference to their extreme hardness

* The word “Sapphire” means “the most beautiful thing” in Hebrew

* The name “Emerald” comes from the Greek word “smaragdos”, meaning green stone

* Agate comes from the Latin “Achates”, referring to the river in Sicily that produced a plentiful supply of agate in ancient times

    My dear Tereza, I wish you many more diamonds, not just one. You never know, maybe you’ll have an entire collection. 🙂

  • Oh, diamonds, one day I will have one, at least one :), even a small, tinny one, that only I will be able to see.
