Fountain of Emeralds

The evergreen stone associated with spring, rain and fertility
In this design, an ornamental
fountain encrusted with glittering emeralds, is eternally watered by the pots of wisdom and joy. Twin feathered
creatures, reminiscent of the mythical griffin, support the watering pots, gazing protectively over the majestic
fountain with soothing emerald eyes.
Mythical griffin is a symbol of wisdom
Ancient tales tell that emeralds
were found in the nests of griffins. And being a creature that was half eagle and half lion, a mere mortal in want
of the precious stones, would have been no match for their mighty ferocity. However the griffin was also a sacred
guardian to the Greek gods Apollo and Athena, and therefore became known as a symbol of
wisdom.
Further glorifying this evergreen
stone, associated with spring, rain and fertility, is a border of channel-set emeralds, twinkling with rich,
velvety tones. Centered above the fountain is a superior emerald jewel, inviting the eye of the beholder to gaze
into it, for it is said that emeralds can give their owners the gift to fortell the
future.
