1.01 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the mineral rich highlands of Colombia to the careful hands of our master cutters, this emerald has traveled a story of time and craft that you can hold. It began as a crystalline vein embedded in ancient stone, formed over millennia under pressure and gradual change. Local miners recognized its promise and extracted the rough with skill born of generations, selecting a piece that showed an unusual transparency and a fresh, green character. At The Natural Emerald Company we received that rough and immediately saw the potential for a jewel that would sit beautifully in a bespoke design. This stone is a transparent green emerald weighing 1.01 carat, with elegant pear shape proportions and measurements of 8.06 x 5.65 x 4.57 mm. Its color intensity is light, its polish is excellent, and its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. The enhancement is standard, and the origin is Colombia, a source long celebrated for producing emeralds with lively tone and appealing clarity.

The transformation from rough to refined gem is where artistry meets technical precision. Our master cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut for this pear shape to balance scintillation with color distribution, crafting facets that open the stone to light while preserving the pure green that attracted attention in the mine. Each facet was placed to enhance the gem’s natural transparency and to minimize the visual impact of the very slight inclusions when viewed at eye level. The excellent polish creates a lustrous surface that allows the emerald to flash with lively brilliance, even with a light color intensity. Because of its 1.01 carat weight and its measured dimensions, the stone achieves a presence that reads as elegant and refined rather than heavy or overpowering. The pear silhouette itself lends a gentle taper and a soft point that feels intimate and wearable, a shape that flatters as a center stone or complements other elements in a multi stone composition.

For custom jewelry this pear shaped Colombian emerald is exceptionally adaptable, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of bespoke designs. Its length to width relationship creates a pleasing elongation on the finger when set as a solitaire engagement ring, it draws the eye upward and can visually lengthen the hand, yet it remains compact enough to work beautifully as a pendant that drops gracefully from a fine chain. In a halo setting the mixed brilliant cut plays harmoniously with small accent diamonds, the contrast enhancing the emeralds green while the surrounding stones add perceived size and additional fire. The stone also makes a refined choice for asymmetric or east west settings, for delicate drop earrings paired with a matching partner, and for vintage inspired designs where the tapered point lends a sense of old world elegance. The measurements of 8.06 x 5.65 x 4.57 mm and the 1.01 carat weight give designers a precise blueprint to plan prong counts, bezel dimensions, or custom mounting profiles, and the excellent polish reduces the need for excessive metal coverage, allowing more of the gem to be seen and admired.

As caretakers of each step of this emeralds journey, The Natural Emerald Company invites you to imagine how it will live in your life. Consider pairing it with warm yellow gold to accentuate its green tone, or with cool white metal to highlight its clarity and brilliance. Allow our design team to advise on settings that respect the stones standard enhancement and provide secure mounting for everyday wear. We can provide sketches, CAD renders, and setting options that preserve the pear point while maximizing light return. If you prefer a halo, a split shank, or a minimalist bezel, the proportions of this 1.01 carat pear will adapt beautifully. For those seeking a meaningful, one of a kind piece, this Colombian emerald offers a narrative written in stone, a natural origin, a careful cut, and a measured size that together invite a bespoke creation.
