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.
