THE PRASINUS RING

The PRASINUS ring features a vivid green Colombian emerald. “Prasinus” is Latin for “green” and was often used in the ancient world to describe emeralds. This vibrant shade of green symbolizes balance and harmony. The emerald’s striking color, attributed to chromium and vanadium, along with its natural inclusions, makes each stone a unique work of art.

Colombian emeralds have symbolized wealth and status since ancient times, gracing the crowns of royalty. Renowned for their exceptional clarity, color, and brilliance, these gemstones have captivated admirers throughout history.

Ancient civilizations regarded emeralds as sacred symbols of fertility and immortality. Cleopatra was known to adorn herself and her palace with emeralds, gifting them to foreign dignitaries as a display of her wealth and power.

Each ring is completely hand-sculpted. Rafael Indiana meticulously carves his pieces from wax, ensuring that every creation is unique. This craftsmanship is what we believe imparts an authentic ancient beauty to the jewelry.

Every Rafael Indiana product is handcrafted by artisans in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, from wax making each piece unique. Due to the handmade nature of our products, there may be slight variations in color and craftmanship. We believe it gives the product its authentic ancient beauty.
