The first emerald carvings were created in ancient Egypt where emeralds were fashioned into scarabs. The native peoples of the New World routinely fashioned emerald beads, some of which may have been incorporated into the famous Inquisition necklace. The Inquisition Necklace was worn in Spanish and French courts.
