1.48 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent 1.48 carat round green emerald measures 7.95 x 7.88 x 4.67 mm, and presents a mixed brilliant cut that balances lively sparkle with the lush depth of color that collectors expect from Colombian material. The stone carries an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, and has a clarity grading of slightly included as evaluated at eye level. Enhancement is standard, consistent with traditional oil treatments used to stabilize and enhance Colombian emeralds. Origin is Colombia, a provenance known for producing emeralds with vivid green tones and strong saturation. The Natural Emerald Company documents these attributes to provide an accurate foundation for design and setting decisions.

This emerald lends itself to a wide range of jewelry applications while retaining its identity in every configuration. Its near eight millimeter diameter is well suited to solitaire rings, where a classic four prong or low bezel mounting will emphasize the stone while protecting natural internal features. For engagement and statement rings, a halo of well matched diamonds will amplify perceived size and contrast the vivid green, while a three stone composition can introduce complementary side gems for narrative balance. The proportions also translate elegantly to pendants and studs, where a simple bezel can offer everyday durability, and a prong set pendant can maximize light return. For more elaborate commissions, consider double halo, cluster, or vintage inspired settings that use milgrain and filigree to frame the emerald. Metal choices alter the visual temperature, yellow gold warming the green, rose gold providing a modern juxtaposition, and platinum or white gold sharpening contrast when paired with brilliant white accent stones.

When planning a custom piece, practical considerations inform the aesthetic. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish mean the gem responds well to open settings that encourage light interaction, while the slightly included clarity suggests protective settings for rings intended for frequent wear. Standard enhancement should be disclosed in documentation and taken into account for any future maintenance, with periodic professional inspection recommended. We at The Natural Emerald Company provide detailed images, measurements, and design consultations, and can collaborate with your jeweler or our in house design team to produce technical drawings, metal mock ups, and secure mountings tailored to your lifestyle.
