A single emerald sculpted around a gold sleeve to be used as a ring. According to the Al Thani Collection, it was most probably used by one of the 16th century Mughal Emperors (probably Humayun or Akbar). India, 16th century [2672×1668]

Only a peasant would put a rare and expensive gemstone on a ring. True ballers have their rings cut out of gemstones.
Emerald is actually quite soft and easily damaged; dude must have been careful with it.
