The highest-quality emeralds are green or bluish-green. Emerald earrings are highly prized today, and their quality lies in their rich, saturated color. Women wore ornamental earrings - studs and hoops at the very least - in Ancient Egypt, which is home to mines that are among the earliest sources of emeralds in the world. In fact, wearing earrings actually goes back thousands of years, and you can find many tangible connections between now and then in how we continue to talk about these treasured accessories.
