1.31 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This exceptional Colombian emerald, offered by The Natural Emerald Company, presents a rare and harmonious combination of weight, color, and clarity that sets it apart from the typical marketplace offerings. Weighing 1.31 carats and cut in a classic emerald shape, this stone measures 7.85 by 6.13 by 3.74 millimeters, giving it an impressive face up presence for its size. The color is a lively medium intensity green that reads vividly in daylight and artificial light alike, and the transparency is notably clear for a natural emerald. At an eye level clarity grade of slightly included, this gem retains a natural character without compromising its brilliance, and an excellent polish amplifies its reflective planes and overall visual appeal. Enhancement is standard, applied carefully to stabilize and enhance the stone in a way that is consistent with best practices in the trade, and the Colombian origin contributes to the gem's desirability, as Colombia continues to be the benchmark source for some of the world most coveted emeralds.

When compared to other options on the market, this emerald stands out for its honest combination of attributes, and for the way those attributes are balanced. Many lower priced stones may offer strong color but sacrifice clarity or polish, resulting in a flat or murky look when set. Others may present high clarity but thin, washed out color, which undermines the quintessential lush green that buyers seek. This emerald captures the sweet spot between those extremes, offering a medium intensity green that is unmistakably emerald, while maintaining transparency and a clean appearance when viewed without magnification. The emerald cut itself is an advantage in this case, it creates a broad, elegant table that showcases the stone color and the internal character in a flattering way, and the step facets and well executed polish allow light to dance across the surface with refined sparkle rather than chaotic brilliance, which is ideally suited to the sophisticated aesthetic many collectors and fine jewelry buyers prefer.

From a practical and long term perspective, this emerald will continue to captivate over the years because it is a natural stone with enduring qualities that age gracefully. The combination of Colombian origin and thoughtful enhancement means the stone will retain its color and structural stability when cared for in accordance with standard emerald care, this includes avoiding harsh chemicals, storing separately to prevent abrasion, and having settings checked periodically. Unlike heavily treated or man made alternatives that may lose character or demand replacement, a properly treated natural emerald such as this one develops a deeper story over time, acquiring a soft luster and a familiar presence that can become a family heirloom. Setting this 1.31 carat emerald in a secure, elegant setting will allow it to perform beautifully in rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces, and its proportions of 7.85 by 6.13 by 3.74 millimeters translate to a comfortable and visually impactful presence on the finger or at the neckline. In direct comparison to synthetic alternatives or stones that have been filled with modern resins, this emerald preserves the authenticity and provenance that matter to discerning buyers who value the narrative of natural origin and ethical sourcing.

Choosing this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company means selecting a gem that presents superior value when all factors are considered, not just the initial price. The market often forces buyers to choose between color, clarity, size, or origin, but this emerald offers a balanced profile that addresses each of those priorities in a way that few stones at this carat size do. The excellent polish and classic emerald cut maximize the stone face up, the slightly included clarity grade ensures the gem remains recognizably natural without distracting from its beauty, and the medium color intensity delivers the lushness associated with Colombian gems without drifting into overly dark tones that can read black in low light. For clients seeking a piece that will stand the test of time, both aesthetically and materially, this emerald is a compelling option, and The Natural Emerald Company stands behind its sourcing and evaluation practices to ensure transparency and confidence in your purchase.
