“True beauty doesn’t have to be flawless.”
In the old days, people believed that a genuine emerald is never too perfect.
If you look closely whether with the naked eye or under magnification you might see tiny fractures like spiderwebs, mineral inclusions, or water droplets within. Some stones even contain all three elements in one: water, gas, and crystal a signature found in emeralds from Colombia.
But how did this green gem find its way into Siam?
Emeralds are not native to our land. They arrived across seas through trade, passing through Indian and Persian merchants, and aboard Western vessels from Portugal and Holland. A Persian envoy once recorded the presentation of a “green crystal” to the royal court—what scholars now believe was an emerald from either Afghanistan or Colombia, during the Age of Exploration.
Emeralds in the Thai Royal Court
Locally called “Manee Kheaw” (the Green Jewel), emeralds were more than just ornaments.
When embedded in the regalia of Buddha images, royal belts, or ceremonial headdresses, they symbolized wisdom, serenity, and compassion. In the Navagraha (Nine Planetary Deities) system, emerald corresponds to Mercury (Phra Phut) governing intellect and speech.
Emerald rings for beauty or for protection?
In the world of antique jewelry, emeralds were often cut as cabochons to preserve their inner energy and depth.
Such stones appear in protective rings like the “Phirot” ring or Thai talismanic bands. When set in rings engraved with Kanok or vine patterns, they weren’t just decorative… but believed to hold power.
Some were even worn as talismans by nobles or master astrologers especially during the late Ayutthaya to early Rattanakosin period, when royal regalia became more elaborate for grand ceremonies.
