1.52 Ct. Emerald from Russia

This transparent green emerald weighs 1.52 carats and presents a distinctive fancy shape with dimensions of 7.72 by 8.10 by 5.40 millimeters, sourced from Russia. The stone has an intense color intensity that yields a vivid, saturated green across the crown and pavilion, while its clarity has been graded as slightly included at eye level. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant arrangement, and the overall finish is described as excellent polish. Enhancement is standard for emeralds of this type, applied to stabilize and improve overall appearance without altering the fundamental color or structure. These objective measurements describe a gem that is compact, well proportioned, and capable of delivering strong visual impact when set in jewelry, attributes confirmed by The Natural Emerald Company as part of the product specification and photographic documentation.

The mixed brilliant cut employed on this specimen intentionally combines elements of brilliant faceting on the crown with more traditional pavilion facet patterns, optimizing both internal light return and surface scintillation. The crown facets are sized to admit light into the gem efficiently, while the pavilion facets are configured to redirect that light back through the table and crown, producing a lively interplay of brightness and contrast. With a measured depth of 5.40 millimeters, which represents approximately 68 percent of the average diameter 7.91 millimeters, the proportions favor effective internal reflection rather than excessive light leakage. The faceting sequence and facet junctions have been executed to tighten internal reflection pathways, so that even under varied lighting conditions the emerald displays concentrated flashes of green and a balanced distribution of tone. Excellent polish on the facet planes reduces surface scattering, enabling the intrinsic hue and internal structure to read clearly, and the mixed brilliant philosophy yields both broad flashes of color and smaller points of fire that enhance perceived saturation and liveliness.

Slight inclusions are present, consistent with the clarity grade assigned at eye level, and these inclusions interact predictably with the mixed faceting. Rather than diminishing brilliance, the carefully planned facet orientations help to mask or diffuse the visual impact of internal features by breaking up straight sightlines and redistributing light toward the more open areas of the crown. Standard enhancement treatments have been applied in a controlled manner to improve transparency while preserving the natural character of the stone. The result is an emerald that combines intense color, thoughtful cutting, and refined surface finish to maximize visual appeal without compromising authenticity. For clients seeking a well proportioned, vividly colored Russian emerald with robust light performance, this gem represents a measured balance of natural origin, documented characteristics, and expert cutting, attributes assembled and presented by The Natural Emerald Company.
