1.52 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

Emeralds have been crowned with reverence since antiquity, treasured by emperors, priests, and collectors for their living green and their connection to the earth, rain, and renewal. This one of a kind Colombian emerald presented by The Natural Emerald Company carries that same lineage. It is a transparent 1.52 carat gem, expertly fashioned into a classic emerald cut that honors centuries of lapidary tradition. With measurements of 7.52 by 6.37 by 4.75 mm, it balances presence and practicality, a stone that reads as noble and restrained at once. Its medium color intensity draws the eye without overwhelming the senses, a verdant tone that reads as natural and timeless rather than theatrical. Slightly included by clarity grading at eye level, it retains an open, transparent character, the internal features serving as fingerprints from its long formation in Colombian terrain. Evaluated with an excellent polish and a standard enhancement common to fine emeralds, this gem reflects light in broad, elegant flashes that emphasize the geometry of the emerald cut while preserving the organic depth that makes true Colombian emeralds so cherished.

The emerald cut is a design steeped in history, a shape developed to showcase color and clarity with a plane of light that invites contemplation. Here that tradition is honored through meticulous cutting that emphasizes clean lines, step facets, and a table sized to display the green with maximum composure. The excellent polish produces crisp facet junctions and sustained luster, permitting the stone to communicate its hue across a range of light conditions, from soft daylight to the glow of evening lamps. Slight inclusions observed at eye level are characteristic of natural emeralds, and they add a sense of origin and narrative that synthetic or overworked stones lack. Standard enhancement applied to this gem stabilizes and clarifies without compromising the stone s natural appearance, a respectful intervention that lets the inherent Colombian character speak. The dimensions and cut make it ideally suited for classic settings, a center stone for a ring that looks as though it might have graced an heirloom jewel, or a pendant that drapes at the throat like a fragment of forest light. The Natural Emerald Company is proud to offer emeralds that maintain that lineage of beauty and history, each one a little archive of the earth s slow work.

Durability is central to the everyday luxury of this stone, and its attributes make it an excellent candidate for regular wear when it is set and cared for correctly. Colombian emeralds possess good hardness, and this particular gem benefits from an excellent polish and standard enhancement that together improve surface resilience and visual stability. Slight inclusions are natural, but because they are not obstructive to transparency in this instance, they do not detract from structural soundness for routine use. With a protective mounting that guards corners and pavillion edges, and with routine inspections and gentle cleaning, this emerald will perform beautifully as a daily companion. Practical care is simple, and it ensures the stone s longevity, methods that echo the patient stewardship given to heirlooms over generations. Wear it in a bezel or a secure prong setting for added protection, avoid heavy impacts or harsh chemical exposure, and schedule periodic professional checks to maintain the setting and verify the gem s condition. For those who revere history and seek a gemstone with a legacy that is both storied and practical, this Colombian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company brings an authentic, wearable connection to antiquity, a jewel meant to be lived in, admired, and passed on.
