In Latin, Maximus means “the biggest”. Trillius Maximus is certainly one of the largest red trilliant cut Oregon Sunstones we’ve seen. This conquering hero was worked into shape by Aivan Pham. We “salute” and pay “tribute” to Aivan and Trillius with two Latin quotes:
- “Rare is the union of beauty and purity – Rara est adeo concordia formae atque pudicitiae – Juvena
- “Art is long, life is short” – Ars Longa, Vita Brevis –Hippocrates
Trillius Maximus is certainly a lasting, rare and beautiful work of art.
While American Gemstones has no motto, some Latin quotes are possibilities; “They can conquer who believe they can” and “where there is unity there is always victory”. American Gemstones is realistic in believing we can only succeed through belief and unity. We hope to enlist many legions in this, our campaign.
