1.00 Ct. Emerald from Russia

This Russian origin emerald presents as a transparent, 1.00 carat gemstone, cut in a classical emerald cut, with precise dimensions of 8.20 by 4.14 by 3.79 mm. The cutter has executed broad, parallel step facets on the crown and pavilion, producing the hallmark linear facet planes and long flash reflections associated with the emerald cut, and the length to width ratio of approximately 1.98 to 1 gives an elegant elongated outline that suits both traditional and contemporary designs. The table is well proportioned to the crown height, allowing controlled light entry and layered internal reflection, while the truncated corners preserve structural integrity and reduce the risk of edge chipping in everyday wear. The gem displays medium color intensity, with a uniform distribution of green across the table and pavilion, and excellent polish that yields crisp facet junctions and minimal surface abrasion under magnification.

Clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means inclusions are present but do not dominate the stone when set, preserving notable transparency and optical depth. Enhancement is standard, applied to stabilize and optimize the appearance in a manner consistent with trade practice, and the overall finish reflects meticulous lapidary work. Given its size and clean step cutting, this stone offers great versatility, pairing readily with minimalist settings for daytime wear, or more elaborate halo and three stone arrangements for formal occasions. The geometry favors bezel mounts and protective four corner prong designs for rings, while its elongated profile also adapts well to pendants and vertical drop earrings. For metal pairing, cooler tones such as platinum and white gold emphasize the crisp green, while yellow and rose gold can warm the appearance for a richer, vintage inspired look. At The Natural Emerald Company we emphasize accurate documentation and careful setting recommendations to preserve longevity and optical performance, and we can advise on mounting options that balance protection with the desire to retain the emerald cut character. This gem is an ideal choice for buyers seeking a technically precise, wearable emerald that transitions seamlessly from casual daytime jewelry to elevated evening pieces.
