0.92 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This GUBELIN certified Colombian emerald is a refined and collectible example of classic emerald beauty, weighing 0.92 carat with precise dimensions of 7.06 x 5.36 x 3.68 mm. The stone is fashioned in an emerald cut, presenting a pure rectangular outline and a broad table that showcases its vivid green color intensity and high transparency. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a notable accomplishment for a natural emerald, and the piece benefits from an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and overall presence. The enhancement is standard, consistent with well accepted practices in the trade for Colombian material, and the GUBELIN report provides laboratory verified assurance of origin and basic treatment status, supporting provenance and market confidence. At The Natural Emerald Company we prioritize independently certified stones, and this gem arrives with documentation that is meaningful to informed buyers and collectors.

The very slightly included clarity grading is a key attribute that separates this emerald from lower quality material, and it is worth examining how that grading influences value and durability. Emeralds habitually contain natural inclusions that form during growth, and these inclusions are part of what makes each emerald unique. In this example the inclusions are minimal at typical viewing distance, and they do not materially interfere with the stone's transparency or color saturation. The standard enhancement that has been applied is aimed at improving the appearance of minor surface reaching features while maintaining stability and the integrity of the crystal. For an educated buyer this combination of strong color, high transparency, conservative enhancement, and independent certification translates into a desirable balance between visual impact and long term desirability. The Colombian origin further enhances the market perception, as emeralds from Colombia are historically prized for their intense bluish green to vivid green saturation and superior crystalline clarity in many fine examples.

The emerald cut itself plays a central role in how this gemstone interacts with light, and in this specimen the cut has been executed to emphasize the stone's natural strengths. The emerald cut employs a series of broad step facets and a large table, which control the paths of light entering and exiting the gem, producing a deep, velvety color face up while preserving the crystal clarity. Rather than relying on scintillation that is typical of brilliant cuts, the step facet geometry produces a hall of mirrors effect, where large flashes of color and internal reflections create depth and a sense of calm luminosity. This cut reduces the risk of windowing, concentrating color through well proportioned pavilion depth and table width, and it allows the vivid green hue to appear consistent across the face of the stone. The excellent polish on the facet junctions ensures that light transmission is not lost to surface disruption, and the precise facet alignment supports crisp facet reflections that enhance perceived saturation and brilliance under both natural and artificial lighting conditions.

For buyers considering this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company the combination of specific attributes makes it suitable for both discerning collectors and for bespoke jewelry projects that demand authentic Colombian character. The stone’s weight of 0.92 carat and its balanced dimensions make it a versatile candidate for a ring, pendant, or custom setting where the strong color can be showcased without overwhelming the design. Settings that protect the corners and provide secure gallery support will preserve the stone while allowing a generous table exposure to maximize face up color. From an investment perspective, key value drivers include the GUBELIN certification, the Colombian origin, the vivid color intensity, the conservative enhancement, and the very slightly included clarity grading evaluated at eye level. Each of these factors contributes to long term desirability and marketability. At The Natural Emerald Company we are available to provide lapidary notes, certificate copies, and guidance on setting options that will best display the stone’s step facet architecture and luminous green tone, ensuring that the gem delivers both aesthetic pleasure and objective quality for an educated buyer.
