Our watch of the week is the Bering 12934-868
women's watch from the Bering Classic Collection. It is a very elegant and classic wristwatch that stands out for two special features. What is especially striking is the unusual yet beautiful emerald-green color of the
Bering watch, and the second is the dial set with Swarovski stones. In this post, learn more about emeralds and the rich green color, as well as, of course, our watch of the week.
The green color of an emerald
Emerald green is a very intense, mysterious, and unique shade of green. It is often referred to as ocean green or bottle green, although it differs slightly from these shades. It comes from a gemstone and was very popular in the days of Impressionism.
An emerald is a hexagonal crystal system. In fact, its color is white, but it turns green through the addition of chromium and vanadium ions. The word emerald was borrowed via the Latin
smaragdus from the Greek σμάραγδος,
smáragdos (green stone), and is related to Sanskrit
marakatam (green). The beginnings of emerald mining lie in ancient Egypt. As early as the 13th century BC, gemstones were mined there. Emeralds have been, and are still, valued by many cultures around the world as particularly precious jewelry and gemstones. Especially emeralds from Brazil can sometimes fetch higher prices than a diamond of the same size thanks to their vivid green color.
Emerald green is a unique color. In addition, the ocean-green color is so versatile that, besides jewelry and accessories, it can also be used in clothing or interior design.
Our Bering 12934-868
Our watch of the week, the Bering 12934-868, has an emerald-green Milanese stainless steel strap and a rose gold stainless steel case. The dial is also emerald green and especially shimmering. Small, delicate Swarovski stones serve as the hour markers. The hour, minute, and second hands are also very fine and rose gold. The dial is protected by a flat sapphire crystal. The
women's watch has a quartz movement and is water-resistant to 3 bar.
