0.52 Ct. Emerald from Russia

From the moment this emerald was born deep within the earth, its journey has been one of time, pressure, and quiet transformation. Sourced from Russia, a land whose emerald occurrences have long fascinated gem lovers and mineralogists alike, this stone carries the subtle signature of its origin in its hue and character. Weighing 0.52 carat and cut into a classic emerald shape, its dimensions are 6.06 x 4.08 x 3.04 mm, proportions that speak to both presence and refinement. The green is of medium intensity, a verdant tone that is neither loud nor shy, and its transparency allows light to pass through with a clarity that invites the eye to linger. At The Natural Emerald Company we trace each piece back to its place of origin, and this Russian gem arrives with that provenance intact, a tangible link to landscapes shaped by glaciers and ancient geological forces. Knowing where a gem comes from adds a layer of story to its beauty, and for collectors and wearers alike this origin becomes part of the jewel s personality.

When a rough emerald emerges from the matrix, the work of human hands begins, guided by knowledge, patience, and respect for the material. This gem received an emerald cut, a choice that honors the stone s natural strengths, emphasizing depth of color and a mirrorlike interplay of step facets that create a calm, sophisticated flash. Cutting to the exact measurements of 6.06 x 4.08 x 3.04 mm required the cutter to balance yield with optical performance, preserving as much of the original rough as possible while revealing a clean pavilion and crisp facets. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a truthful notation that reflects natural inclusions which often testify to the gem s formation history. These small internal features do not diminish its allure, they enrich it, giving the stone a lived in look that many connoisseurs prize. The polish was carried out to an excellent standard, producing smooth facet junctions that allow the emerald s medium intensity green to sing without distraction. The enhancement is standard, a widely accepted practice that stabilizes and improves appearance, and it is fully disclosed here as part of The Natural Emerald Company s commitment to transparency and ethical trade.

Owning this emerald is to wear a story as much as it is to wear color, and part of the joy comes from imagining the hands that guided it from mine to finished gem. In many cultures emeralds symbolize renewal and prosperity, and in Russian history they have been treasured for their cool, crystalline greens that complement both formal and everyday dress. The emerald cut is particularly flattering in settings that allow the stone to breathe, a solitaire in a fine gold or platinum bezel that frames its clean lines, or set with a delicate halo that contrasts the step facets with shimmering pavé. At 0.52 carat, and with the exact dimensions of 6.06 x 4.08 x 3.04 mm, this stone is ideal for an engagement piece with quiet confidence, a right hand ring that completes an outfit, or a bespoke pendant that sits close to the heart. The slightly included clarity invites a closer look, a discovery moment every time light catches an internal reflection, and the medium color intensity ensures the green remains lively and adaptable across different metal tones and design styles. The Natural Emerald Company curates these gems for collectors and designers who value authenticity and story, and we encourage settings that celebrate the gem s natural beauty rather than mask it.

Beyond the immediate pleasure of its color and cut, this emerald represents a lasting investment in beauty and craftsmanship. Gemstones like this one combine geological rarity with human expertise, and when provenance is known and enhancements are fully disclosed, the value of the piece is more than monetary, it is cultural and emotional. Collectors understand that Russian emeralds, while not as globally prolific as some other origins, offer distinctive character and historical resonance, making pieces from that region desirable for the long term. The careful cutting that resulted in the emerald cut and the excellent polish means that the gem will perform well under wear, maintaining its visual appeal. At The Natural Emerald Company we offer documentation of origin and treatment, appraisal services, and personalized guidance on setting and care, because we believe the relationship between owner and gem should be supported for years to come. When you choose this 0.52 carat, emerald cut, green emerald with dimensions of 6.06 x 4.08 x 3.04 mm, you are investing not only in a beautiful object, but in a narrative that began deep in the earth and was completed by skilled hands, a narrative that you can continue as custodian and wearer.
