0.85 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Colombia

I am pleased to present an exceptional natural emerald offered by The Natural Emerald Company, a transparent, round shape green emerald weighing 0.85 carat, with precise dimensions of 6.20 x 6.11 x 3.27 mm, and a striking double cabochon cut that gives this gem a rich internal glow and a smooth, tactile presence. The color intensity is classified as intense, a vivid pure green that immediately draws the eye, and the polish is excellent, creating beautiful surface luster that plays with light when the gem is set and worn. Clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone shows natural internal characteristics that are typical and expected for emeralds, and which in this case add character without diminishing the overall transparent appeal. Origin is Colombia, a world renowned source for some of the finest emeralds, and the stone has undergone standard enhancement, which is commonly used to improve clarity while maintaining the gem naturalness. This combination of weight, cut, color, polish, and origin makes this emerald a very attractive option both for fine jewelry and for collectors who appreciate classic Colombian green.

Understanding the specifics of this gem helps you visualize how it will perform in a finished piece, and why it stands out. The double cabochon cut is a distinctive choice, offering smooth rounded domes on both sides, which softens the gem silhouette and accentuates the saturated green within, especially under direct or diffused light. Because the stone is transparent and carries an intense tone, it will translate exceptionally well into settings that allow light to play through the gem, such as open backed bezels, halo designs with fine white diamonds, or custom settings where the cabochon shape becomes the focal point. Slight inclusions, visible at eye level, are a natural fingerprint of emerald formation, and in this example they are not intrusive, rather they contribute to the authenticity and story of the stone. The standard enhancement used in this emerald is the industry norm for Colombian material, stabilizing and improving visual clarity with minimal intervention. For clients who prefer minimal treatment, we can provide detailed information about the enhancement method and any accompanying gemological documentation upon request.

Practical considerations are important when choosing and owning a fine emerald, and I will highlight care, setting suggestions, and the value proposition. Because emeralds are often enhanced for clarity, standard precautions apply, such as avoiding prolonged exposure to heat or aggressive chemicals, and refraining from ultrasonic or steam cleaning which can affect filled fissures. Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is recommended, and professional cleaning and inspection prior to any reworking or resizing of the mounting will help preserve the stone integrity. For setting, a protective bezel or a partial bezel with prongs positioned to secure the cabochon profile will reduce the risk of edge knocks while showcasing the stone color. This emerald is an excellent choice for a signature ring, an elegant pendant where the cabochon dome can capture light, or a bespoke pair of earrings if paired closely with a matching mate. From an investment perspective, a Colombian emerald with intense color, transparent body, and excellent polish is highly sought after, and when paired with a reputable source like The Natural Emerald Company, you receive both quality and provenance that supports long term appreciation.

At The Natural Emerald Company we pride ourselves on personalized service, accurate descriptions, and detailed imaging to help you make a confident decision. We can provide additional high resolution views, magnified photographs to show the internal characteristics, and a gemological report on request, so you understand the enhancement specifics and confirm origin. If you are considering a custom design, our team can advise on metal choice, setting style, and complementary accent stones to maximize the beauty of this 0.85 carat Colombian emerald while protecting it for daily wear.
