Emerald of Chivor, or "Émeraude de Chivor", gets its name from the Chivor Mine in South America, which was discovered in the mid-16th century and holds one of the purest emerald deposits in the world. For centuries, precious gemstones like emeralds were regarded as talismans with protective powers. It is said that Jacques Herbin himself kept an emerald in his pocket as a good luck charm on his many seafaring voyages.
Jacques Herbin made many journeys to India and brought special wax formulas back to Paris, leading to his shop's success as a reputable sealing wax manufacturer that served Louis XIV and gained popularity throughout France. The wax seals on the cap and front of the bottle remind us of this rich history.
