1.57 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the moment this emerald formed deep within Colombia's emerald districts to the moment it received its GIA certificate, it has carried the quiet story of earth and time. Mined from Colombian terrains that have produced some of the world most sought after greens, this transparent emerald weighs 1.57 carats, and has been masterfully fashioned into an emerald cut to showcase its linear elegance and internal glow. Its dimensions are 9.19 x 4.78 x 4.02 mm, and it shows a medium intense green that speaks to the classic Colombian hue collectors cherish. The clarity grade is slightly included evaluated at eye level, a characteristic often referred to as the gem jardin that tells of natural history and authenticity, and its polish is excellent, revealing crisp facets and refined symmetry. This piece carries a standard enhancement as is common for fine emeralds, and its GIA certification confirms origin and quality so you can wear it with confidence. The Natural Emerald Company presents this stone as a connection to a long cultural lineage of reverence for emeralds, a gem that has been prized by ancient civilizations and modern connoisseurs alike.

The transformation from rough to refined shows the artisan care taken to preserve color and clarity, and the emerald cut enhances depth while controlling light to reveal an even, velvety green. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness emeralds generally fall around 7.5 to 8, which means this gem is durable for fine jewelry and everyday life with mindful care, and it is softer than sapphire which rates 9, and much softer than diamond which rates 10. Slight inclusions and the standard enhancement mean the gem needs protective settings and gentle handling, and I recommend bezel or halo settings to safeguard the corners and table while highlighting the stone. With its excellent polish and balanced proportions this emerald will sit beautifully in a ring or pendant that honors its Colombian origin and natural story. If you would like guidance on bespoke mounting or care instructions, The Natural Emerald Company is ready to assist, so you can celebrate the journey of this gem from its ancient formation to the jewel you will treasure.
