1.00 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

In the quiet light of morning and under the soft glow of evening candles, a single green flame holds the promise of a story yet to be told. From the heart of Colombia, curated with painstaking care by The Natural Emerald Company, comes a transparent emerald of one point zero zero carats that feels at once timeless and alive. Cut in the classic emerald shape and precisely faceted to dimensions of seven point six one by five point five two by three point four two millimeters, this gem carries an intense color that seems to breathe with depth. The proportions are elegant, the accentuated step facets and truncated corners giving it a refined architectural silhouette, and the excellent polish allows each plane to whisper light back to the wearer. Imagine this stone set as the quiet center of an engagement ring, a pendant that rests against the skin, or a pair of studs that catch sunlight like secret leaves, each facet a small window into the lush Colombian earth from which it rose.

Look closer and you will find the human story within the crystal, the traces that make it distinct and sincere. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, a subtle map of natural character that tells of geological patience and the journey of formation. The gem has received a standard enhancement to gently refine its appearance, a traditional and accepted practice that harmonizes clarity and stability without muting its vital green. Its transparency is vivid and its color intensity is described as intense, the kind of green that holds more than one shade at once, shifting from verdant meadow to deep forest as the angle of light changes. The emerald cut is an elegant choice for such a stone because its broad facets showcase color rather than glitter, inviting a deeper, steadier gaze instead of fleeting sparkle. At seven point six one by five point five two by three point four two millimeters, it is a size that sits like poetry on a finger, large enough to be noticed, yet modest enough to carry every day.

Durability is often the quiet concern of those who wish to wear beauty as an act of living, and this emerald is well suited to that honor. As a member of the beryl family, it has a Mohs hardness around seven point five to eight, which gives it solid resistance to everyday abrasion, and its very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level means fewer surface reaching weaknesses than in more heavily included stones. The standard enhancement it has undergone also serves to improve stability and to reduce the visibility of natural fissures, making the gem more comfortable for regular wear. Thoughtful setting choices will further ensure that this emerald remains a constant companion, a bezel or low profile halo providing protection for its corners while prongs crafted to cradle the stone will keep it safe through daily motions. Simple habits will preserve its glow, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaning unless advised by a gem professional, and a periodic inspection to ensure the setting remains secure. Worn inside a ring that is hugged by metal or in a pendant that moves softly with the body, this emerald will endure as both jewel and talisman, keeping its intense color and excellent polish through years of smiles and small rituals.

To hold this Colombian emerald is to hold a promise that is both practical and poetic, a green that speaks of forests and of home, a cut that honors craftsmanship, and a weight of one point zero zero carats that declares presence without demand. The Natural Emerald Company invites you to imagine how this stone will fit into the fabric of your life, an emblem for a proposal, a birth, an anniversary, or simply a daily reminder of beauty and resilience. With its excellent polish, intense color, and thoughtful enhancement, it is a gem designed for living and for loving, ready to be set into a design that protects it and lets it shine.
