become the trendy color gemstone for the celebrities and other people. Moss green, olive green, sea green, fern green, jungle green, spring green, lime green – so many colors of the green spectrum are named after the natural world around us. With the arrival of spring, we welcome the re-emergence of greenery in our gardens. Green represents youth, vitality and growth. Nature is a major driving force behind the designs of Lebanese jeweler Christina Debs, and green gems are among her favorites to work with. They have introduced a large variety of green gemstones, from Chrysoprase to green agate, Amazonite, Aventurine, Jade, Sphene, emerald and Tsavorite,” say Debs. “Green is my bestselling color. This is a trend not only in jewelry but also in fashion and interior design. We are seeing a return to nature.” Emeralds are always a familiar sight at Baselworld.

the show, we spotted top-quality gems in the windows at Graff, Bayco and de GRISOGONO. None were as arresting as the huge green emeralds spied at Jacob & Co, set into two cuffs called, collectively, the Mystery of Muzo, below.

It took almost two years to source the exceptionally rare duo, a natural pear-cut 74.33-carat and 70.57-carat vivid green Colombian Muzo emerald, which are the same vivid green hue. I was drawn to the 11-carat square emerald-cut gem in the high jewelry ring by Sutra, top.

Surrounded by a halo of diamond petals, the certified Colombian emerald gave off a glorious green glow under the spotlights. At the much affordable end of the scale are these rings by Djula, the hip, young brand from Paris, whose impressive expansion plans this year include two new stores in the US. These easy-to-wear rings, above, mix emeralds with diamonds, offering a more casual way to wear this highly-prized gemstone. Things got really interesting when we arrived at Chopard. Many of the Swiss jeweler launches for the year ahead are targeted at Millennials, with style, wearability and originality trumping big, and expensive, gemstones. For the first time that I can recall, Chopard has used malachite in its jewelry, above, the stripy green mineral that fell out of favor when the hippy generation grew up and started power dressing – bringing a cool new look to the classic Happy Heart collection. More malachite was to be found in Roberto Coin, where the Italian jeweler has been experimenting with lesstraditional gems in its cocktail ring collection, above, and Emerald.Org.in

He is drawn to stones that other jewelers might overlook, and it is the imperfections that give these jewels their vibrant personality. By invisible setting nine baguette-cut tsavorites next to one another, with no metal visible in between, Stenzhorn has created the illusion of a much bigger emerald-cut stone. “We wanted to recreate the look of those kind of stones that are rare to find in nature in that size,� says Stenzhorn designer Anna Strarosti. And to bring us neatly back to where we started, the collection has a most appropriate name.
