Great was the belief in emeralds that the Romans felt that evil could not prevail in the face of an emerald. It would point out a falsehood by changing color, turning pale. If an emerald was unable to avoid inopportunities, it would fall from its setting. The origin of the word comes from Sanskrit. It means the color green.

Pope Innocent III decreed in the twelth century that the ring of a Bishop of the Catholic Church should be set with a Sapphire. It was felt that this stone held the virtuous qualities necessary to its esteemed position.
