Mughal emperors were lovers of precious stones, numerous references show the strong cultural belief in the magical properties of gemstones. As much as these gems were a symbol of the opulence and dignity of the empire, they were also treasured as protective talismans. Emeralds were enormously popular with the Mughal Court, whose emperors referred to them as “Tears of the Moon” because of their opaque transparency. In the Mughal period, the greatest emeralds arrived in India from Colombia through commercial exchange via the Portuguese-controlled ports of Goa. The influence of the West on Mughal jewels can also be seen in metalworking technology introduced by European jewellers, who were welcomed at court and in some cases went on to play a role in imperial workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUK size Q 1\/2, US size 8.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe ring weighs 4.96 grams and tests as high-karat gold (21K).
