1.13 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This emerald presents as a transparent, pear shaped gemstone weighing 1.13 carat, with precise measurements of 9.08 x 6.03 x 4.01 mm. The gem has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, providing a refined balance between scintillation and color face up. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, offering minimal internal character that contributes to its natural identity without detracting from visual appeal. Color intensity is described as intense, a saturated green hue that is consistent across the table and through the pavilion, and polish is graded excellent. Enhancement is standard, a customary practice that improves stability and appearance while maintaining the gem's natural integrity. The origin of the stone is Colombia, a source renowned for producing emeralds with vivid chroma and classic tonal qualities. The Natural Emerald Company has documented each of these attributes during our internal review, ensuring transparent communication of the gem specifications to clients.

The journey of this stone begins in the columbian deposits where emeralds form through hydrothermal processes that introduce chromium and vanadium bearing fluids into fissures within host rock. Skilled miners working in small scale and larger concessions both apply careful extraction techniques to recover crystal material with minimal damage. From the moment the crystal is liberated from the earth, it is subjected to an initial sorting process based on transparency, color and crystal stability. Rough pieces that demonstrate the potential for a fine transparent emerald are set aside for further evaluation. This particular piece exhibited a clean window and strong saturation that suggested it could yield a gem with both intense color and the clarity attributes we describe. Throughout extraction and early handling, our partners maintain documented provenance and adhere to local regulations, ensuring that the material entering our supply chain has verifiable origin and conforms to responsible sourcing practices.

Once selected for precision cutting, the rough was transported to an experienced lapidary where decisions about shape and cut form were based on maximizing both weight retention and optical performance. The pear shape offered a pleasing outline that emphasizes the stone color when set as a center stone, and the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to marry the depth and richness of color with lively light return. During the cutting process facets were placed to control light leakage and to enhance the perceived saturation across the table. The cutters worked to minimize the visibility of internal features at normal viewing distances, which resulted in the grading of very slightly included at eye level. Standard enhancement was applied in a controlled setting, using accepted materials that improve clarity and stability without altering the fundamental color chemistry of the emerald. Final measurements of 9.08 x 6.03 x 4.01 mm and the weight of 1.13 carat were confirmed after cutting and polishing, and an excellent polish grade reflects the attention to facet proportion and finish that impacts brilliance and surface luster.

Prior to market presentation the emerald underwent quality control and documentation by The Natural Emerald Company, which includes verification of weight, dimensions, cut type, clarity grade, color intensity, polish, enhancement status and origin. High resolution imaging and independent visual inspection were conducted to ensure consistency with the descriptive grade, and traceability records were prepared to accompany the piece for purchasers who request provenance documentation. The gem is ready for setting in a variety of jewelry applications where its pear outline and intense green make it particularly suited to solitaire rings, pendants and bespoke pieces that favor a vivid center stone. Care recommendations include avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning where enhancement media may be present, and periodic professional inspection to maintain mount integrity and to ensure long term durability. This emerald exemplifies the balance between natural formation and skilled human craft, and The Natural Emerald Company presents it with full disclosure of its characteristics, so that buyers may make an informed decision based on clear technical information and documented origin.
