1.27 Ct. Emerald from Russia

At The Natural Emerald Company we are proud to present a rare and refined example of nature and human skill in harmony, a transparent 1.27 carat pear shape green emerald that captures attention at first glance, with precise dimensions of 8.77 x 6.25 x 4.47 mm that make it perfectly balanced for both classic and contemporary settings. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines the scintillation of a brilliant style with the depth and elegance that emerald lovers expect, producing lively sparkle alongside the characteristic verdant depth. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, an important distinction that places this stone well above the many commercial emeralds that require heavy treatments to hide significant inclusions. Color is classed as intense, offering that vivid green hue collectors seek, and the polish is excellent, allowing each facet to catch and return light with maximum clarity. Importantly, this emerald has no enhancement, a quality that elevates its desirability and long term value, and its origin is Russia, a storied source of emeralds that ties this stone to a distinctive geological and cultural lineage.

When measured against the typical offerings on the market this Russian emerald demonstrates clear advantages in quality, value, and authenticity. Many emeralds available in similar sizes come from sources where clarity is improved through oiling or resin filling, and where color enhancement is applied, both of which can compromise longevity and resale value. By contrast this 1.27 carat gem is free of enhancements, which means you receive the true optical and physical attributes the stone developed over millions of years. The mixed brilliant cut is an intelligent design decision, it maximizes brilliance while respecting the natural crystal habits of emerald, so you enjoy exceptional light performance without sacrificing the depth of color. Transparency is another differentiator, because a transparent emerald of this size and intensity is comparatively rare, especially when it displays very slight inclusions only at eye level, a characteristic that appeals to both connoisseurs and jewelers seeking raw material that will not need compensating settings or treatments.

Emeralds have a rich heritage that stretches through histories of empires and artisan traditions, and this gem continues that lineage with a distinct Russian provenance. Emeralds have long been associated with royalty and religious art, they have adorned crowns and icons, they have been set into ceremonial swords and used as talismans by nobles and clergy, and the Ural and Altai emeralds carried by Russian miners and lapidaries contributed to imperial treasuries and ecclesiastical collections. Owning an emerald with Russian origin is to hold a piece of that storied past, a tangible connection to centuries of craftsmanship and reverence. Traditionally emeralds have symbolized rebirth and wisdom, they have been worn as protective amulets and exchanged as tokens of deep commitment, and a transparent, intense green emerald is especially prized for its ability to convey sincerity and enduring value. This particular pear shape echoes the teardrop forms favored in antique pendants and earrings, making it ideal for designing an heirloom piece that both respects tradition and translates effortlessly into modern expressions of fine jewelry.

For the discerning buyer seeking a gem that stands out from mass market options, this 1.27 carat pear shape emerald represents a thoughtful investment, both aesthetically and financially. Its combination of intense color, transparency, very slight inclusions, superior polish and absence of enhancement means you are acquiring a naturally beautiful stone that will retain its allure and marketability, unlike treated stones that can present long term risks. The dimensions of 8.77 x 6.25 x 4.47 mm make it versatile for a variety of settings, from a striking solitaire engagement ring to a pendant that becomes the centerpiece of a refined necklace, and its mixed brilliant cut ensures the finished piece will balance flash with depth.
