The deeper story

Stone Story

Emerald's status as one of the four precious gemstones (sharing that designation with diamond, ruby, and sapphire) is part of what makes it a gift with immediate, cross-cultural legibility. It has been understood as significant for as long as people have been giving gems to each other.

A Storied Heritage

The dragonfly's defining moment in fine jewelry was during the Art Nouveau era, where its iridescent wings and hovering flight made it an ideal muse for the movement's naturalistic form and enameled color work. Renowned French jeweler Rene Lalique developed the most complete interpretation, and his dragonfly pieces remain the primary standard against which the motif is evaluated today.

Care & Keeping

The revolver clasp asks little: keep the barrel and tongue clear of debris and residue. A jeweler can address lubrication or tension as part of any routine service.
