1.58 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This emerald is a transparent 1.58 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald, with precise dimensions of 7.17 x 7.06 x 4.73 mm. The gem has an asscher cut, a stepped pavilion and square facet arrangement that emphasizes depth and symmetry, and it displays intense color intensity with excellent polish. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic common to fine natural emeralds that allows light to interact with internal features while retaining strong color saturation. Enhancement is standard, a conventional and accepted treatment for Colombian emeralds, and the origin is Colombia, a source known for producing some of the most desirable green tones in the gem trade. The combination of an asscher cut and octagonal outline yields a dignified, architectural appearance that balances table size with depth, making the stone suitable for a variety of mounting styles while preserving the stone integrity.

When compared to famous historical emeralds, this 1.58 carat Colombian stone shares attributes with celebrated examples in terms of color and character, rather than scale. Like the famed Mughal era carved emeralds and renowned museum pieces such as the Chalk Emerald, this gem exhibits the rich, lively green that defines Colombian material, but in a more wearable and modern presentation. Its asscher cut distinguishes it from cabochons and large antique carvings, translating the depth of historical stones into precise facets that produce controlled reflection and color return. The slight inclusions are akin to the natural signatures seen in historic fine emeralds, offering authenticity and a fingerprint of origin that fully synthetic or heavily treated stones lack. The Natural Emerald Company presents this emerald as a specimen that bridges historical reverence and contemporary gemcutting, combining Colombian color, standard enhancement, and a classical asscher octagon form to deliver a gem with both provenance and practical versatility.
