The exhibit, Garden of Green, now on display at the American Museum of Natural History celebrates spectacular specimens of that color gem. The collection, which is on loan from Van Cleef & Arpels consists of 44 different pieces of jewelry. Many of these items have never been on display in the United States before. 

Objects of several different varieties of green gems are a part of the collection. They include pins shaped like ballerinas, birds, and butterflies as well as various necklaces, earrings, and more. Although the exhibit does not necessarily include information on the specific pieces, it does provide some background regarding how some of the pieces may have been inspired or when jewelry of that type was popular.

The exhibit is free to visit with admission to the museum. It will be on display through March 17.
