1.05 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the emerald veins of Colombia to the precision bench of our master cutters, this gemstone carries a story that is as old as the earth and as personal as a handcrafted jewel. Formed under immense pressure and time, this transparent green emerald was liberated from Colombian rock where only a few crystals reach the clarity and color it displays. Weighing 1.05 carats and measuring 6.91 by 6.77 by 4.08 millimeters, this round gem presents a rare convergence of size and color, a combination seldom found in similar stones. Many emeralds of this vivid medium intensity are smaller or more heavily included, and many one carat round emeralds lack the transparent, lively green that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Slightly included at eye level, the stone retains its honesty and character, carrying natural inclusions that testify to its origin, while a standard enhancement brings out its best without obscuring the gemological story beneath the surface.

At The Natural Emerald Company we honored this crystal by choosing a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color depth, every facet placed to enhance the green that distinguishes Colombian emeralds. The excellent polish catches light with a refined sparkle, and the proportions were selected to make the gem appear larger on the finger than its carat weight might suggest. In the world of emeralds, round stones over one carat with this level of transparency and medium color intensity are rare, and this example sits apart from the common offerings where either size or color must be compromised. This emerald will translate beautifully into a ring or a pendant, and it will appeal to those who value provenance, natural character, and expert shaping. The Natural Emerald Company presents this gem not only as a piece of jewelry, but as a fragment of geological time, a mined and shaped treasure ready to be carried forward into new stories and new generations, and we welcome inquiries from collectors and clients who wish to learn more about its journey, its care, and the bespoke settings that will best honor its uncommon qualities.
