0.85 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Colombia

This listing presents one beautiful transparent 0.85 carat round green emerald, with exact dimensions of 6.20 x 6.11 x 3.27 mm, offered by The Natural Emerald Company. The gem is fashioned as a double cabochon cut, a style in which both faces are domed to emphasize color and internal character rather than faceted brilliance. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and acceptable clarity for natural emeralds that often contain characteristic jardin inclusions. The color intensity is classified as intense, yielding a vivid green that is highly desirable among connoisseurs, and the stone benefits from an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and tactile quality. Enhancement is standard, disclosed in keeping with industry best practice, and the documented origin is Colombia, a provenance associated with some of the most prized emeralds on the market.

The gemstone grading information above should help an educated buyer assess the stone according to the major value drivers, starting with color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. Color is the single most influential attribute for emerald value, and this stone’s intense saturation and pure green hue align with the attributes collectors and high end designers seek, particularly for Colombian material. The round double cabochon cut reduces light leakage and maximizes apparent color depth, which is especially beneficial for emeralds where color and face up appearance matter more than faceting brilliance. Transparency here is notable, the gem reads transparent to the eye despite internal inclusions, which are identified as slight and typical of natural formation, not as fractures that compromise stability. Slight inclusions evaluated at eye level generally mean the gem is eye clean under typical viewing distances for jewelry, and therefore it retains strong visual appeal and retail desirability. The excellent polish indicates careful lapidary work, with smooth surfaces and well controlled symmetry that will sit neatly in a bezel or open face mount.

Treatment and origin are critical considerations for valuation and long term satisfaction, and both are addressed for this piece. The emerald has received standard enhancement, a widely accepted practice in the trade that typically involves the introduction of colorless oils or resins to reduce the visual impact of surface reaching fissures and to stabilize the appearance. Such treatments are reversible or maintainable, and they are fully disclosed by The Natural Emerald Company, as transparency in treatment history is essential for resale and insurance purposes. Colombian origin imparts a premium because Colombian deposits are renowned for producing emeralds with a distinctive pure green hue and exceptional saturation, qualities that informed collectors and gemologists recognize and prefer. For buyers seeking provenance backed value, a Colombian emerald with intense color and transparent to eye cleanliness will command higher interest, and pairing that with an exact size of 0.85 carat and precise dimensions allows for accurate appraisal and setting planning.

For practical use and long term care, this double cabochon emerald’s dome to dome profile makes it particularly suitable for bespoke jewelry, such as secure bezel set rings, pendants that show the domed face, or artisan pieces where the internal jardin contributes to character. Because of the standard enhancement, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is recommended, while ultrasonic cleaning and harsh chemicals should be avoided unless a gemological laboratory advises otherwise. We recommend obtaining a formal report from a recognized laboratory if the buyer intends to insure or resell the stone, and The Natural Emerald Company can assist with photography, additional viewing angles, and arrangements for independent certification. Our team is available to discuss setting options, valuation, and provenance documentation to help you integrate this Colombian emerald into a collection or a commissioned design with confidence.
