1.31 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

There are moments in life that deserve to be marked with something more than words, moments that call for a jewel that holds the memory of a promise, a celebration, a rebirth, a quiet triumph. This AGL certified emerald, a transparent green treasure weighing 1.31 carats, answers that call with a presence that is both regal and intimate. Cut into an asscher octagon, and measuring 7.19 x 7.14 x 4.10 mm, it offers the symmetry and step cut brilliance that draws the eye into its heart. Its vivid color intensity radiates a pure green that seems to breathe with life, and its excellent polish makes every facet sing with a soft, sophisticated fire. Evaluated at eye level to be very very slightly included, the clarity invites you to appreciate how natural character and optical purity can coexist, and the fact that it comes from Colombia, with no enhancement, confirms that what you see is authentically and responsibly formed beneath the earth, untouched by treatments that alter its true beauty.

Imagine giving this emerald as a gift and watching the light in the recipient change the way it looks at the world, imagine slipping it into a piece you will wear every day and feeling the calm confidence that comes from owning something rare and honest. At The Natural Emerald Company we know that gemstones carry stories, and this one is already telling many. The asscher cut gives it a vintage elegance that nods to eras of enduring romance, while its sharp octagon outline keeps the overall feel modern and wearable. The AGL certification is your assurance that this is a real, natural emerald, authenticated by professionals, with origin tracing back to the storied mines of Colombia, and with no enhancements to cloud its provenance. For someone who values transparency, craftsmanship, and the thrill of a green that glows from within, this emerald is a quiet revelation.

What makes this gemstone endlessly exciting, beyond its own intrinsic qualities, is the way it can be transformed into so many bespoke settings, each one creating a different emotional signature. Picture it set as a classic solitaire ring in a slim bezel of warm yellow gold, the metal framing the stone and elevating its green to a vivid jewel tone, perfect for daily wear and for turning a simple hand into a statement. Alternatively, imagine a platinum cathedral setting that lifts the asscher cut into the light like a tiny stage, surrounded by a halo of brilliant white diamonds, each tiny stone tracing the octagonal shape and amplifying the center color with a luminous contrast. For those who love geometry and bold lines, a three stone ring with tapered baguette diamonds flanking the emerald will speak of balance and partnership, the central green symbolizing the shared heart of a relationship. If you prefer the understated modern look, an east west setting, or a low profile tension mount will give the gem a contemporary, architectural silhouette, ideal for someone whose style is confident and minimalist.

The options for earrings and pendants are equally seductive, and they allow you to harmonize or contrast color and metal to craft an emotional tone. Imagine a pair of drop earrings, each with this asscher emerald suspended beneath a sparkling diamond bezel, moving with the wearer, catching sunlight in a dance that seems to celebrate every laugh and every glance. A single pendant, set in rose gold with delicate filigree, will translate the stone into something romantic and nostalgic, a talisman to wear close to the heart, while a modern halo pendant in white gold will create an aura of polished elegance, perfect for gifting on an anniversary or for elevating evening wear. For those who want a bold heirloom, a cluster design that centers this asscher emerald among smaller Colombian emeralds, or against a backdrop of tiny sapphires, can develop a depth of color that tells a story of craft and imagination. Even nontraditional uses like a center stone in a cufflink set, or an emerald accent in a bespoke bracelet, can create signature pieces for men and women who seek jewelry that is personal and unforgettable.

Working with The Natural Emerald Company gives you access to artisans and designers who specialize in turning a singular gemstone into a lifelong companion. We help guide decisions about metal choice, setting style, and protective design, ensuring that whatever you create is both beautiful and practical for the life it will live. For instance, a low bezel can protect the girdle and corners of the asscher octagon, preserving its clean lines for years to come, while a raised prong setting can maximize light return for those who want maximum brilliance. We can arrange custom sketches, CAD renderings, and prototypes so you can see how the 1.31 carat emerald will sit on a finger, at the throat, or as part of a pair, and we can advise on complementary stones that will celebrate the vivid green without overwhelming it. Each commission can come with the AGL certification and documentation of origin, because the story of where a gem comes from is part of its soul.
