18k yellow gold set with 3 carats apple-green chrysoprase

Made and finished entirely by hand, stones custom cut.

Said to have been the favorite gemstone of General Alexander the Great, Chrysoprase has occasionally been mistaken for jade or emerald, but we think it’s vibrant apple-green shade stands alone. In the Middle Ages, people thought they could become invisible by putting a chrysoprase in their mouth, and The King of Prussia Frederick the Great (1740 – 1786) was so obsessed with Chrysoprase that he adorned his Palace with objects and furniture made from this beautiful stone.
