The symbol

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars. Its glyph traces the curving horns of the ram, a shape inherited from the Egyptian deity Amun-Ra and from the Cretan ram cult of the bronze age. Born between March 21 and April 19, Aries enters the year at the spring equinox, the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator heading north. Across traditions Aries has been associated with initiative, leadership, and the willingness to begin, the spark that opens any cycle.

About this stone

Emerald is a variety of beryl, the same mineral family as aquamarine, colored vivid green by trace chromium and sometimes vanadium that absorb red light and transmit green. The earliest documented mines lay in Egypt's Eastern Desert, where production stretched from roughly 1500 BC into Roman times, and where Cleopatra is said to have favored the stone above all others. Most natural emeralds contain internal fractures, called jardin in the trade, treated with cedar oil to improve clarity. The stone is 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, hard but sensitive to impact and heat. Curated by a certified gemologist.

Care and wear

Emerald is sensitive to mechanical shock, sudden temperature change, and harsh chemicals. Remove before exercise, swimming, gardening, or applying lotions and perfumes. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and warm water only, never ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
