1.38 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This Colombian origin transparent emerald, weighing 1.38 carat and measuring 7.57 x 6.54 x 4.55 mm, showcases the classic virtues of the emerald cut, producing broad, mirror like flashes and a layered hall of mirrors effect that many other gemstones in its category simply do not achieve. Where brilliant cut stones such as tsavorite garnet or modern brilliant cut emeralds emphasize scintillation and fire, this emerald presents a deeper, more sophisticated reflection that plays across the step facets in broad planes of color and light. Its medium light color intensity keeps the green lively and luminous under varied lighting, and the excellent polish on every facet maximizes surface reflection so that the stone returns light with a silky, glassy sheen rather than sharp pinpoint sparkle. With a clarity grade of slightly included evaluated at eye level, the internal features are characteristic of fine natural emeralds and contribute to the gemology of the piece by creating subtle internal reflections and depth, instead of detracting from the overall visual performance. The enhancement is standard, the treatment harmonizes inclusions and improves light transmission, and the result is a stone that offers authentic Colombian color and presence without the clinical brightness of higher dispersion gems.

Compared to alternatives on the market, this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company offers a unique combination of size, cut, and honest natural character that delivers superior perceived value. Against tsavorite and demantoid garnets, which may offer higher lively brilliance but often at smaller sizes and with a different, yellower green, this Colombian emerald brings that classic true green hue and a velvet like glow that is emblematic of the world class mines of Colombia. Compared to aquamarine and peridot, which show quicker return of light but paler tones, this emerald holds color and reflective depth that reads richer on the finger. Versus diamonds and other high dispersion stones, the reflective quality is less about fire and more about saturated color and large, elegant flashes that suit both modern and vintage settings. For buyers who prioritize natural origin, genuine color, and a refined interplay of light and depth, this 1.38 carat emerald cut Colombian emerald represents an exceptional choice, and The Natural Emerald Company stands ready to assist with any questions about setting options and pairings that will maximize its unique reflective character.
