If you look on The Diamond Store website you will find a range of diamond ribbon pendants that are mounted in white gold and set with plain diamonds or with diamonds and emeralds, rubies or sapphires. This design has been popularised in recent years by breast cancer and AIDS charities acting as a symbol of support and understanding.
The ribbon textile we use today only goes back as far as 1910 when Frank Cheney Jr (one of the world famous Cheney brothers who were pioneers in the silk industry) invented a machine to make ribbonzene which was basically a compacted silk ribbon.
The emeralds which feature in some of the ribbon pendants at The Diamond Store are the birthstone for the zodiac sign of Taurus and the talismanic stone for Gemini. They can be given as traditional gifts for the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries symbolizing fidelity, goodness and love.
Revelations in the Bible tells us that the throne of God was made from emeralds, and the Holy Grail is said to be carved from a huge emerald that fell from Satan’s crown when he was banished from Heaven. The world emerald comes from the French esmeraude which is a derivative of the Greek smargados meaning green gemstone. The rich green colour comes from the mineral chromium.
The Diamond Store has some excellent special offers on diamond ribbon pendants at the moment offering top quality gemstones and jewellery at greatly reduced prices. So if you want to buy one make sure you get in before the promotion expires.
