1.12 Ct. Emerald from Russia

When you are searching for the perfect centerpiece for a custom engagement ring, an elegant statement ring, or a rare gemstone to enhance a collector s cabinet, you want an emerald that answers every practical and emotional requirement. This transparent 1.12 carat green emerald from Russia delivers on presence, provenance, and craftability, and it arrives ready to become the focal point of a bespoke design. From the first look you will notice its intense color intensity and its refined emerald cut, attributes that make it both a striking wear and a sure candidate for careful design. At The Natural Emerald Company we understand that your search is about more than a stone, it is about finding the exact shape, size, and character that completes your vision, and this emerald represents that solution with clarity and confidence.

Size and shape determine how a gemstone lives in jewelry, and this emerald s proportions are exceptionally serviceable for custom work, measuring 8.11 by 4.53 by 3.84 millimeters. The classic emerald cut gives it a rectangular table and step facets that emphasize color and clarity rather than scattered brilliance, creating long flashes and a refined, architectural look that sits beautifully in a variety of settings. At 1.12 carats the stone provides a visible presence without overwhelming a delicate mounting, and its measurements make it adaptable to solitaire rings, three stone compositions, slender halo settings, and elegant pendants. Jewelers will find the straight edges and clipped corners of the cut straightforward to cradle and secure, whether the design calls for prongs that show the girdle, a sleek bezel that protects the edges, or a low profile channel mount. For customers seeking versatility, this emerald can be oriented traditionally or set east west for a contemporary feel, and it pairs especially well with tapered baguette accents or fine melee to create either minimalist or highly ornate results.

Beyond its shape and size, this emerald s optical qualities are what make it an enduring choice for custom pieces. The intense green color saturates the stone evenly, giving depth and personality that reads boldly in daylight and under evening light alike. It is transparent, with a clarity grade of slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which is a realistic and honest characteristic for natural emeralds, and one that frequently becomes an identifying signature rather than a flaw. These gentle inclusions do not detract from the gem s beauty, and they allow light to interact with the step facets in a way that produces a lively, internal glow. The finish is exceptional, it carries an excellent polish that sharpens facet junctions and maximizes the stone s reflective planes, and the enhancement is standard, consistent with responsible practices that stabilize natural emeralds while preserving their inherent beauty. Collectors and clients who appreciate natural origin will value that this piece comes from Russia, a source known for producing emeralds with clear color and fine crystallography.

For the custom jeweler, the practicality of setting and durability are key. The emerald cut reduces stress points with its cropped corners, and the dimensions offer enough gemstone depth to seat secure prongs while maintaining a sleek profile for everyday wear. At 3.84 millimeters depth, the pavilion provides sufficient room to control light return without necessitating unusually tall settings, which helps keep rings comfortable and pendants wearable. Because emeralds are softer than some gemstones, recommending protective settings such as low bezels for active wearers, or protective halos for rings intended for daily use, will enhance long term durability while showcasing the gem s color. This stone s excellent polish and balanced measurements make stone setting straightforward, and they minimize the need for extensive modification, which preserves weight and integrity. Consider pairing it with 18 karat yellow gold to warm the green for a classic look, or choose platinum or white gold to emphasize crisp, contemporary contrast. A modest frame of F or G color diamond melee will uplift the emerald without competing with its intense green, while pavé or channel accents can give a modern shimmer that complements the step cut.

At The Natural Emerald Company we aim to guide you from inspiration to realization, and this emerald is an ideal candidate if your goal is a memorable, wearable, and heirloom quality piece. Its 1.12 carat presence, classic emerald cut, and practical dimensions make it simple to translate a creative sketch into a finished jewel, and its intense color and excellent polish ensure that the end result will attract the eye and reward the wearer for years.
