0.49 Ct. Emerald from Brazil

Born deep within the lush jungles of Brazil, the journey of this exquisite emerald begins its story beneath the verdant canopy where ancient geological forces converge. There in the heart of the earth, over millions of years, pressure and heat transform mere elements into crystalline marvels of nature. Pulsing with the vibrant energy of the land, these gemstones lay hidden until they're gently coaxed from their earthy resting place by skilled miners who pass their secrets through generations. Each step of the mining process is a tribute to tradition and respect for the land, ensuring that the emeralds extracted echo the purity of their origins.

As the emerald transitions from raw stone to the stunning 0.49-carat masterpiece it is today, it moves from the wild embrace of nature to the hands of master artisans. This particular stone, shaped into a classic oval form, measures 6.06 x 4.36 x 3.32 mm. It undergoes the meticulous process of cutting, a delicate contribution that allows its inherent brilliance to unfurl. The mixed brilliant cut applied to this emerald dares to rival the sparkle of the clearest waters or the brilliance of sunlit foliage. Every facet is a tribute to precision, designed to amplify its innate luster and the intense color intensity that Brazil is celebrated for.

Our craftsmen at The Natural Emerald Company appreciate the nuances of this gem’s slightly included clarity, a characteristic that embodies its natural biography and singularity.

With an appearance that enchants both the eye and the heart, this gemstone connects its beholder not only to its origin but to an untamed world where beauty knows no bounds. Each polished surface brushes our fingertips with whispers of the forests, held together through both time and nature.

Measured on the Mohs scale, emeralds secure a respectable score of around 7.5 to 8, revealing a capacity for remarkable resilience and durability.
