1.46 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

A single extraordinary emerald rarely announces itself so clearly, and yet this transparent 1.46 carat oval emerald commands attention from the moment it is seen. Measuring 8.94 x 7.31 x 4.24 millimeters, the gem combines an elegant oval outline with a mixed brilliant cut that has been masterfully executed to maximize both depth and scintillation. Its intense green color shows a rich, saturated hue that remains remarkably even across the table, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and lively light return. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the stone is essentially eye clean, with delicate internal features that attest to its natural, untreated-at-origin character, and with standard enhancement applied in the accepted Colombian tradition to stabilize and improve clarity. Originating from Colombia, this emerald carries the provenance that collectors and connoisseurs prize, and The Natural Emerald Company presents it as a rare opportunity to own a gem that is both collector grade and eminently wearable.

When set into a bespoke piece, this emerald reveals even greater personality, responding gracefully to surrounding color and light. A classic solitaire ring in platinum or 18 karat white gold will let the intense green float above the finger, while a low profile prong setting with discrete claw tips keeps the appearance clean and timeless. For clients seeking drama and contrast, a double halo of brilliant round diamonds will amplify fire and create a luminous frame that pushes the green to a more vivid perception, while tapered baguette side diamonds will add architectural balance for a contemporary three stone ring. For a warmer, vintage inspired aesthetic, pairing the emerald with cognac diamonds or champagne melee set in rose gold will produce an inviting, antique patina, the warm metal softening the stone and making the green glow. If a color contrast is desired, small, well matched rubies or padparadscha sapphires at the shoulders create a sumptuous red to green dialogue that reads as regal and decidedly rare. For an all green suite, finely matched tsavorite garnets cut into rounds or trillion shapes will build a monochromatic, gemstone forward composition that celebrates green in a variety of tones and textures.

Commissioning a custom design around this Colombian emerald is an invitation to join an exclusive group of collectors who value provenance, craftsmanship, and singular beauty. Because the combination of weight, cut, clarity and color found in this stone is uncommon, each design we create is conceived as effectively one of one, tailored to the wearer and to the gem itself. A pendant executed in a bezel and halo arrangement will sit close to the heart, allowing the mixed brilliant facets to catch light with each movement, while a pair of signature earrings matched to this oval can deliver symmetry and motion, suspended from delicate French wires or anchored by hidden clips for security. For clients who appreciate narrative, highlighting the stone's Colombian origin and the subtle inclusions under magnification becomes part of the story, proof of natural formation and proof that the piece is not simply manufactured, but curated. At The Natural Emerald Company we limit our availability and take care to confine each high quality stone to thoughtful commissions, ensuring that owners of this emerald are part of an understated but distinguished circle.
