American Gem Collection Bonnie Lass

Sami Fine Jewelry takes you through the Old North State with piece number #169, “Bonnie Lass!” This style is inspired by the architecture of Ireland's castles. Set in 14k white gold, the strong, romantic style band is covered with .47 carats of sparkling white diamonds. The heart of this ring, though, is the vibrant green North Carolina emerald. This gem, weighing 1 carat, seems to glow a bright mint green. The color is almost magical. The ancients associated the emerald with the goddess Venus - the representation of love and beauty. Because of this, the gem was said to strengthen the bond of love in a relationship, and ensure loyalty and trust. Emerald is also related to positivity of the mind and spirit. Some say that wearing this gem gives a sense of stability and confidence - it connects you to your life’s plan, and helps you move forward. Mining in North Carolina has been surprisingly fruitful throughout history. Gems such as aquamarine, ruby, and - of course - emerald, have been discovered here sporadically since the 1800’s. Rare and hard to find, these treasures  are highly sought after by collectors, jewelry enthusiasts, and gemstone hunters alike. Just like a true "bonne lass", this ring is the prettiest in the room, and others will be green with envy when you wear her!This ring has sold, please contact us if you're inspired to make something similar!
