0.81 Ct. Emerald from Russia

There are gemstones that arrive like visitors from another era, and then there is this green emerald, born where slow earth and patient time met beneath the Russian shield, where mineral rich veins once cooled over millennia and trapped the very light of ancient forests. From the moment of its formation this transparent 0.81 carat pear shape green emerald began a long quiet journey, a story written in crystal, pressure, and time. Miners guided by tradition and careful hands drew it from its native bed, and from the mine it carried with it a sense of place, of northern light and the hush of birch and pine. The Natural Emerald Company honors that beginning, we seek stones that hold not only color and clarity but also the memory of the land that gave them birth. This gem measures 8.07 x 5.08 x 3.95 mm, and even at that modest scale it speaks with clarity, because every facet of its history matters to the way it will speak to you.

When the rough reached the lapidary, the cutter listened to the stone as if to a lover, searching for the angle at which its green voice would sing most purely. The stone emerged in a pear shape that flatters the eye, a mixed brilliant cut chosen to coax fire and depth from the heart of the emerald, while maintaining its natural transparency. At 0.81 carat the gem is intimate and immediate, a jewel that sits close to the skin and draws the eye into the depths of its hue. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that close observation rewards the beholder with the living patterns within, the tiny traces of history that make the stone unmistakably natural. Those faint inclusions do not mar its beauty, they are part of its personality, catching light in a way that feels like whispers from the stone itself. The color intensity is intense, a green that is neither too dark nor too light, a green that evokes new leaves and deep water alike, and the polish is excellent, each facet finished to a mirror that lets the color breathe without interruption. Enhancement is standard, a discreet treatment that stabilizes and refines, preserving the gem while respecting its origin and character.

There is a romance in green that has nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with promise, because green is the color of beginnings and growth, of vows that are meant to be renewed each season. This emerald invites a story that begins with a glance, and continues in the small gestures that follow, a ring slid onto a finger, a pendant resting at the hollow of a throat, a private constellation reflected in a loved one s eye. The pear shape suggests both tear and seed, a duality that reads like a promise to hold both joy and tenderness, to weather sorrow and to cultivate new light. Because the inclusions are very slightly visible at eye level, the stone offers the intimacy of imperfection, the assurance that what you hold is honest and alive, not manufactured to perfection but crafted with respect. Picture this gem cradled in a delicate setting that lets light enter from every side, imagine how the mixed brilliant cut will scatter flecks of emerald fire across a room, how the intense green will deepen when warmed by skin.
