The icon "My Lord, Lord, have mercy on me"

Jewelry, like any expensive items, requires careful handling and certain care. Special attention should be paid to the appearance of jewelry in hot and humid climates. It is also necessary to protect jewelry from getting perfumes and cosmetics on them.

The jewelry collection "Vladimir Mikhailov" is made in precious metals, characterized by a noble, restrained color sound – platinum, white and green gold. At the same time, the main material of the collection is green gold, a type of gold alloy of 585 samples, characterized by its soft color shade and high content of precious metals. This alloy is known primarily as the most stable natural compound of native gold and silver. It is silver that gives the alloy a soft olive hue, muffling the yellow tones of gold and the red sound of copper.

In Orthodox iconography, the image of the Lord Jesus Christ occupies a central place. The icons of Christ are diverse: from ancient, dating back to the first centuries of Christianity, to later allegorical ones. But they all testify to one thing: about God, who became man for our salvation.

Emerald is one of the most ancient and revered precious stones. Its value was known even in Ancient Babylon in the IV millennium BC. Together with diamond, ruby and sapphire, it belongs to the first–order precious stones, the highest jewelry category. The name of the stone goes back to the Persian "zumrundi" (green) and through the Greek "smaragdos" came into Russian as "smaragd".

The diamond is often called the "king of gems", because its history dates back thousands of years. The first faceted diamonds appeared in the 15th century: in 1463, the first diamond was made, and a century later, during the Renaissance, classical diamond cutting was invented in Flanders, the prototype of which was natural crystals-octahedra. However, a diamond could only truly reveal its beauty and shine with all its facets in the 17th century, when diamond cutters learned how to split stones. The modern round diamond with 57 perfectly aligned facets owes its appearance to the mathematical calculations of Marcel Tolkowsky, who proposed in 1919 the parameters at which the optical properties of a diamond are revealed in the best way.
