When Tiffany got a new treasure, she gave this clear bright green gem a name that was very similar to that of a medieval poet: "Tsavorite". Every time she recited this name, people couldn't help but think of those gems from the Renaissance. The painter depicts a girl in a charming green gauze skirt or a handsome poet with melancholy eyes.
