0.86 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

There are stones that whisper and stones that sing, and this pear shaped green emerald sings like a secret island at dawn. From The Natural Emerald Company this transparent 0.86 carat treasure arrives with a liquid heart and a precise silhouette, measuring 9.33 by 4.76 by 3.66 millimeters, a size that reads intimate and unmistakable on the hand. Its Colombian birthplaces breathe through every facet, gifting an intense color intensity that feels like sunlight filtered through a canopy of rare leaves. The gem is fashioned in a pear shape, a teardrop of color that suggests both promise and memory, its silhouette honed by a mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and depth. The clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, so that the stone keeps an honest, natural soul, with inclusions that are companions to the color rather than interruptions. An excellent polish allows the surface to shimmer like the skin of a pond kissed by morning light, and a standard enhancement preserves the stone’s character while deepening its innate glow.

The dance of light within this emerald is where the mixed brilliant cut proves its quiet genius. The cutter has married small, precise brilliant facets on the crown with more open, elegant facets on the pavilion, allowing light to fragment and then return in a softer, more verdant chorus. Incoming rays are welcomed at the rounded head of the pear, they scatter across the crown facets, refract through the transparent body, and are guided by the pavilion back toward the eye with a warmth that is both lively and refined. This is not the sharp, crystalline flash of diamond, but a more romantic performance, a layered luminescence that moves with the hand and with the mood. The narrow tip of the pear channels concentrated flashes, while the wider base releases a broader, velvet glow, so that every tilt offers new poetry. The excellent polish maximizes reflection and minimizes surface diffusion, so that every facet edge becomes a line of light, and the gem’s mixed brilliant architecture transforms color into motion, intensity into tender brilliance.

To wear this emerald is to carry a small forest of memories. The intense green sits like a secret orchard against skin, each shift revealing the stone’s inner geography, a landscape traced by the very inclusions that certify its natural origin. The pear shape is inherently intimate, suggesting tears of joy, petals, the point of a single heartbeat. In a ring it will point toward the wearer’s finger, flattering and elongating, in a pendant it will sway like a leaf fallen in slow flight. The clarity graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level reassures the connoisseur that the gem’s transparency is true, while the standard enhancement keeps the story honest and enduring. Hailing from Colombia, this emerald carries the legacy of some of the world’s most storied mines, the same green that has inspired poets and monarchs, now set to become a living talisman for your own chapters.

Imagine the moment you choose to make this stone part of your story. Picture it cradled in a bespoke setting that accentuates the pear silhouette, a delicate bezel to echo the gem’s soft edges, prongs that invite light from every angle, or a halo that frames the intensity without stealing its voice. At The Natural Emerald Company we can help you envision settings that will honor the mixed brilliant cut and the stone’s dimensions, so that the 9.33 by 4.76 by 3.66 millimeter form reads exactly as you imagine. Whether as an engagement promise, an anniversary gift, or a secret indulgence, this 0.86 carat Colombian emerald speaks in a language of verdant hush and luminous warmth. Let it be the answer to a quiet longing, a jewel that reflects not just light but the tender gravity of a life well loved.
