1.07 Ct. Emerald from Russia

A rare and refined treasure, this transparent 1.07 carat emerald embodies the discreet elegance that collectors seek, exclusively presented by The Natural Emerald Company. Cut into a classic emerald shape with dimensions of 8.16 x 4.56 x 3.77 mm, this gem announces itself with measured restraint and unmistakable pedigree, originating from Russia. Its medium color intensity offers a fresh and lively green tone that sits proudly between vivid saturation and subtlety, making it suitable for a variety of bespoke settings. The clarity is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, a characteristic that speaks to the natural story of the stone, and the gem has received an excellent polish that enhances its surface luster. Enhancement standard has been applied in keeping with industry norms, preserving the structural integrity and natural appearance of the piece.

In-hand this emerald demonstrates how cut and provenance work together to produce an appearance that feels both aristocratic and contemporary. The emerald cut creates broad, parallel step facets that yield a hall of mirrors effect, delivering sweeping flashes of light and color rather than the pinprick scintillation often associated with brilliant cuts. Compared with other emeralds in the market, this Russian stone shows a cleaner, more crystalline presentation, with internal features that add character without obscuring the gem s vibrant body color. Against Colombian emeralds, which can display deeper, oilier saturation and sometimes heavier inclusions, this Russian example leans toward clarity and a bright, vegetal green. Against Zambian stones, which can appear cooler and bluer, this gem retains a warmer and more lively green, an appealing middle ground for those who value presence and refined reflection.

When comparing its reflective qualities to other gemstones in its category, consider how emeralds differ from more highly refractive stones. As a member of the beryl family, an emerald reflects light in a way that emphasizes color and internal depth over the intense sparkle seen in diamonds and certain white gemstones. Within the emerald category, the emerald cut in particular shapes the light into broad, elegant flashes that reveal the stone s internal landscape, rather than masking it with constant scintillation. This results in a reflective personality that is quietly authoritative, where each movement produces measured bands of brilliance and a clear view into the gem s internal features. Compared with other green gemstones such as tsavorite and peridot, which often display higher clarity and sharper light return, this Russian emerald rewards the wearer with a softer, more luxurious luminosity that reads as antique and precious, ideal for those who value nuance and the kind of reflective subtlety that announces exclusivity without excess.

This gem from The Natural Emerald Company is presented as a limited opportunity to own a piece that blends heritage, optical refinement, and natural authenticity. Its size and proportions make it especially desirable for custom commissions where the cut can be showcased, or for collectors seeking a well balanced emerald that plays beautifully with warm and cool metals alike. For the connoisseur who seeks rarity expressed through disciplined design, this emerald offers a singular presence, a conversation piece that aligns classical geometry with a lived in natural character. Ownership places you among a select group who recognize that true luxury is not only about color and carat, but about provenance, cut, and that refined reflective voice that only a carefully chosen emerald can speak.
