1.27 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent 1.27 carat pear shape green emerald from Colombia, offered by The Natural Emerald Company, is an exceptional choice for bespoke jewelry where size, shape, and personality matter. At 9.47 x 6.27 x 3.47 mm the stone hits a sweet spot between presence and wearability, large enough to read beautifully in a solitaire ring or pendant, yet compact enough to sit comfortably in delicate settings and stackable designs. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return along the pear outline, creating lively scintillation that competes with round brilliants while preserving the classic emerald charm. Compared to many market alternatives, this emerald’s excellent polish and transparent body make it catch the eye more readily than stones of similar weight but inferior finish, and its medium color intensity offers a vivid green that reads distinctly natural and elegant without the overly dark or bluish tones some stones display. The clarity grade, included when evaluated at eye level, is typical for natural Colombian emeralds and gives the gem character and depth, while the standard enhancement is industry normal and stable for everyday wear.

For custom jewelry, the pear shape and dimensions of this stone unlock more design flexibility than many comparable stones. Set point-up it elongates the finger in ring designs, creating a slimming illusion that looks refined in prong, bezel, or halo mounts. Point-down it becomes the perfect focal teardrop for pendants and drop earrings, where the 9.47 mm length reads as a noticeable but not overpowering focal point. Its 3.47 mm depth ensures secure bezel cups and low-profile prongs are feasible without compromising durability. When compared to larger but poorly cut material, this emerald offers superior face-up appeal, and when compared to smaller, clearer stones the visual impact of its color and carat weight is far greater for the same budget. For those seeking provenance, a Colombian origin adds cachet and long-term value relative to many commercial sources. If you prefer yellow gold, the medium green will glow warmly, while white metals create a chic, modern contrast. At The Natural Emerald Company we recommend this gem for clients who want a naturally lively, well-cut pear emerald that is ready to transform into a memorable custom ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, delivering a balance of beauty, versatility, and value that stands out in the current market.
