0.71 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

There is a hush in the green of this stone, a quiet like the first breath of spring after a long winter. This is a transparent emerald of 0.71 carat, shaped with an emerald cut that lays the heart of its color bare, each facet a little window into a deep and softened forest light. Measured at 6.17 by 4.82 by 2.90 millimeters, it sits with a compact confidence that belies the intensity held within. Its hue is medium intense, a green that seems to hold both sunlight and shadow, a color born of Colombian earth and rain, the provenance of this gem tracing back to the storied mines of Colombia where centuries of mineral dreams have been formed. The clarity is graded included when viewed at eye level, the natural internal features like tiny maps and delicate gardens that tell a story of time and pressure, and yet its polish is excellent, the surface so true that light slips into its planes and returns as luminous promise.

Weight is the quiet measure of rarity, and in this emerald the weight of 0.71 carat is everything. It is nearly three quarters of a carat, a threshold that lifts the stone out of the usual and into a more treasured company, where each fraction of a carat increases the sense of scarcity and desirability. In emeralds size and color converse with one another, and to find a Colombian green of medium intense tone with this level of transparency at 0.71 carat is to discover something that feels both honest and rare. The emerald cut amplifies that rarity by offering a broad table, a stage upon which the green can be read clearly and fully, while the excellent polish allows the color to breathe and glow, avoiding any dullness that lesser finishes can impose. Its standard enhancement, the traditional measure used to stabilize and enrich emeralds, is a thoughtful touch that honors the gem rather than altering its voice. The inclusions, visible at eye level, do not mar the gem, they speak, they become unique fingerprints that single this stone out from any other, and in the hands of a connoisseur these marks are a virtue, a sign of natural origin and authenticity. At The Natural Emerald Company we recognize how weight, cut, and origin combine, and we present this 0.71 carat Colombian emerald with the reverence it deserves.

Imagine this emerald set as a single heartbeat on a ring band, catching candlelight and lauding vows, or cradled in a pendant close to the throat where its green can glow like a quiet garden beneath silk. The dimensions of 6.17 by 4.82 by 2.90 millimeters give it a presence that is intimate rather than loud, suitable for a lifetime of wear yet remarkable enough to pause the breath. The 0.71 carat weight makes it a wise choice for a piece meant to be both everyday and enduring, a jewel that will translate into memory as readily as it translates into style. There is romance in the reality that emeralds come with their own history written inside, a tiny universe of mineral trails and veils, and there is romance too in the knowledge that a Colombian origin carries with it landscapes and miners and generations of care. If you seek a stone for an engagement, for an heirloom, for the promise of an anniversary, this emerald answers with a steady green and a modest, rare weight. From The Natural Emerald Company it comes with provenance, with craftsmanship in mind, and with the quiet assurance that true rarity is often measured in fractions, in the gentle lift of a tenth of a carat, in the soft decision to choose something alive and natural rather than manufactured perfection. If you would like to hold it, to sketch a setting, or to speak of how this 0.71 carat Colombian emerald might become a story on your hand or heart, we are here to guide and to craft that moment into being.
