1.02 Ct. Emerald from Russia

This Russian origin, transparent emerald presents as a 1.02 carat, emerald cut stone, with precise dimensions of 6.60 x 4.82 x 4.26 millimeters. The cutting style is faceted, employing the traditional emerald cut step design with rectangular parallel facets and truncated corners, producing broad facet planes on both the crown and pavilion. The table is intentionally generous to showcase the stone transparency and internal character, while the longer step facets control light return for a focused, mature brilliance. Depth is approximately 74.7 percent based on the mean of length and width and depth, a proportion that contributes to the gem s intense color intensity by concentrating saturation, and also reduces windowing that can occur in shallower stones. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, meaning inclusions are present but not intrusive to overall visual performance, and these small internal features can add to the stone s natural fingerprint and light scattering when viewed under direct light. The polish is excellent, with crisp facet junctions and smooth facet planes that enhance luster and enable precise light transmission, all accomplished without any enhancement or treatment, making this a truly natural specimen offered by The Natural Emerald Company.

From a craftsmanship and setting perspective this emerald is highly versatile, suitable for both elevated daily wear and formal jewelry designs. The emerald cut geometry favors classic prong settings that emphasize length and step facet architecture, as well as bezel or partial bezel mounts that protect the corners while preserving the stone s rectangular silhouette. In a casual context the gem reads as a refined accent in a minimalist ring or pendant, pairing well with warm yellow metals to enrich the green tone or cool white metals for a contemporary contrast. For formal settings its intense color and excellent polish command presence in solitaire or halo compositions, where the step cut provides a disciplined, architectural appearance that complements tailored, high end styling. As with all natural emeralds, recommended mounting choices consider the slightly included clarity, favoring secure settings and thoughtful protective designs to maintain long term performance and beauty. The Natural Emerald Company presents this emerald as a carefully evaluated, untreated example of Russian material, ideal for discerning buyers who value technical precision and natural character.
