Ireland is famous for rolling green hills, after all, and is said to offer 40 shades of green, which seems like an understatement this time of year. But there is a bit more to the story than that obvious answer. We don’t know for absolute certain when the phrase ‘the Emerald Isle’ was first spoken, but we do know when it first appeared in print.
The image of Ireland as an emerald, a sparkling jewel, became enduringly popular. All around the world, Irish pubs, bands and cultural organizations use the word ‘emerald’ in their title. The gem is one of the most known symbols of Ireland, although it is not used by the government as the harp is and not often depicted in images as the shamrock is. Irish jewelry often features green gemstones in place of emeralds, especially with other symbols such as the Claddagh and the shamrock.
Emeralds were mined in Egypt since antiquity, but today most Irish jewelry uses green gemstones that look like emeralds.
