1.17 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This exceptional Colombian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is a rare opportunity to own a truly individual gemstone, a transparent oval of luminous green weighing 1.17 carats, measuring 8.56 by 6.65 by 3.78 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and depth of color, clarity graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with medium color intensity and an excellent polish, enhancement is standard. From the moment light enters its pavilion and dances up through the crown, this stone reveals the serene, verdant tone that has made Colombian emeralds the most sought after by connoisseurs, yet its clarity and cut speak to a contemporary aesthetic that fits seamlessly into bespoke jewelry. There are very few stones at this size that combine transparency, lively hue, and a refined mixed brilliant cutting approach, which is why this piece is presented as an exclusive find, curated and offered through The Natural Emerald Company to collectors and clients who demand both provenance and personality in their gems.

Imagine this oval emerald set as the centerpiece of several distinctive creations, each one tailored to a different expression of style, from restrained elegance to opulent glamour. In a classic solitaire ring, a four or six prong setting will allow maximum light to showcase the mixed brilliant facets, while a low profile bezel can provide a modern, secure frame that emphasizes the stone's pure color. For clients seeking a more dramatic presence, an architectural halo of micro pavé diamonds will increase apparent size and add scintillation that complements the emeralds medium intensity, while a French halo or a graduated diamond surround will offer a vintage inspired silhouette that sits beautifully on the hand. East west orientation across a cocktail ring or a minimalist signet style with accent trapezoid diamonds will celebrate the oval shape without overwhelming it. As a pendant, the stone is ideal for a slender drop design, or suspended within an openwork bezel to catch passing light, and as a pair of drop earrings, two matched side stones can be mirrored with small diamond tops or colored gemstone accents to create a bespoke set. Even in a bracelet motif, the stone can be translated into a central station piece flanked by small melee stones, or into a custom cuff with hand engraved metalwork that frames the emerald like a miniature painting.

Customization extends beyond setting style to the choice of metals, complementary stones, and artisanal finishing that make each commission one of a kind, The Natural Emerald Company offers guidance from concept to completion, including design sketches and production options tailored to the emeralds specific proportions and character. For metals, 18 karat yellow gold will warm and intensify the green, platinum offers a cool modern contrast that highlights clarity and brilliance, and rose gold can lend an unexpected romantic tone that softens the overall look. Accent stones can be selected to either contrast or harmonize, white diamonds for timeless sparkle, Colombian or Ceylon sapphires for a refined triad of saturated color, or tiny emeralds for a tonal ensemble. The oval shape invites elongating settings for fingers, and so a delicate tapered split shank or a cathedral style mounting can visually lengthen the finger while maintaining balance. For clients focused on daily wear, we recommend settings that protect the girdle and pavilion, such as partial bezel collars or secure low claw settings, while more ornate designs remain excellent for occasion wear and heritage pieces. Because the stone has a mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish, it responds beautifully to open light, so designs that allow under gallery visibility will enhance its liveliness.
