0.28 Ct. Emerald from Russia

This transparent 0.28 carat pear shape green emerald measures 6.06 by 3.54 by 2.46 mm and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance within a compact profile. Grading notes include a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish. The stone originates from Russia and has received standard enhancement, the customary treatment for emeralds that improves apparent clarity and stability. From a gemological perspective this specimen offers a desirable combination of color saturation and transparency, the vivid green being the most important attribute to informed buyers, while the slightly included clarity is consistent with natural emerald material and contributes to the gem's authenticity and character.

For custom jewelry designers and clients seeking an elegant, versatile center or accent stone this pear shaped emerald is especially well suited because of its dimensions and proportions. The elongated teardrop silhouette creates visual length on the finger or in a pendant, and at 0.28 carat it works beautifully in delicate solitaire rings, tapered halo settings, asymmetric and east west designs, as well as fine drop earrings and bespoke pendants where a refined profile is required. The mixed brilliant faceting enhances sparkle while the excellent polish promotes clean reflections in small settings. When designing around a slightly included emerald, closed gallery bezels and secure prongs protect the stone and help conceal internal features without diminishing color. Standard care recommendations include gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners due to the enhancement, and regular inspection of settings. At The Natural Emerald Company we present this pear emerald as an ideal choice for collectors and designers who value natural origin, vivid color, and a shape that lends itself to focused, elegant custom work, making it a reliable and tasteful option for a refined bespoke piece.
