1.22 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

The 1.22 carat emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is a striking specimen of fine Colombian craftsmanship, exhibiting the quintessential characteristics that have made emeralds one of the most revered gemstones throughout history. This emerald cut stone, meticulously crafted to reveal its inherent beauty, measures 7.11 x 5.08 x 4.29 mm, a size that strikes a perfect balance between presence and elegance. Its shape, a precise emerald cut, serves to maximize the stone's clarity and color, drawing the eye with its iconic linear facets that reflect light in a uniquely structured manner.

Our emerald's clarity is classified as slightly included, a term denoting minute natural inclusions typical of authentic emeralds. These inclusions are part of what affirm the natural origin of the stone, adding character and storytelling to the jewel. When evaluated at eye level, these inclusions are subtly embedded within, allowing the gemstone to maintain its allure while assuring the owner of its authenticity. The intense color intensity of this emerald is a testament to its superior Colombian roots, echoing the lush greens found in nature. This vibrant hue is highly sought after, reminiscent of the thunderous green landscapes from the renowned Boyacá region, an area famed for producing premium quality emeralds.

In terms of finish, this emerald possesses an excellent polish. Each facet has been finely finished to ensure maximum luster and brilliance, reflecting light with remarkable clarity. The polish enhances the stone's translucency, allowing one to appreciate the depth and richness of its color. This degree of craftsmanship meets the high standards expected by discerning collectors and connoisseurs who seek the best in nature’s creations.

The heritage of this Colombian emerald connects it to traditional uses seen in various cultures, where similar gemstones have adorned regal crowns, symbolized power, or indicated status. From ancient Egypt, where royalty adorned themselves with such stones, to Mesoamerican cultures that revered emeralds as sacred, these gems have been treasured far beyond their intrinsic beauty. Colombia’s mines have been a source of exceptional quality stones since the times of the Spanish conquest, providing a rich history that adds value and narrative to each gem produced.
