QUALITY DUTY FREE EMERALDS AND OTHER GEMS
"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." The words of the famous Spanish poet and playwright Pedro Calderon de la Barca are the words that underlie our central belief as we offer to our shoppers the only precious stone of this color .
