- Title

- Abstract
This paper focuses on the reception of New Granadan emeralds in the Viceroyalties of Sicily and Naples, where they were carved and set in jewelry and silverware works, as emblematic examples -of mostly religious nature-preserved in southern Italy. This article also examines the trading, smuggling, forgery and the symbolic value of these precious gems, generally called in Europe "Peruvian emeralds". Finally, a relation is established between "La Lechuga" ('The Lettuce'), the custody of the Society of Jesus of Bogota, and a Neapolitan monstrance.
