1.61 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

Imagine holding a heartbeat of the earth in the palm of your hand, a green that breathes, glows, and seems to remember sunlight from a thousand summers. This C.Dunaigre certified 1.61 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald from the legendary Muzo mines of Colombia arrives as more than a gemstone, it arrives as a promise. With dimensions of 7.18 x 6.93 x 4.75 mm, this gem has been faceted into an asscher cut that balances antique elegance with modern clarity, revealing a medium intense color that pulls the eye and warms the heart. Slightly included at eye level yet possessing an excellent polish, it is honest and alive, a jewel that whispers of real earth born character rather than perfection that feels manufactured. Enhanced to standard, as most fine emeralds are, it still carries the rare and unmistakable vitality of a Muzo origin, a pedigree that gem lovers and collectors recognize as the source of some of the most storied emeralds in history. From The Natural Emerald Company this piece is presented with care, certificate, and respect for the legacy it invites you to begin.

Picture this emerald set at the center of a family ring, a pendant handed down at milestone weddings, or mounted into a brooch that will return each season to the light of family gatherings. The asscher cut, known for its stepped facets and timeless geometry, is not just beautiful, it is practical for longevity, distributing light and protecting the gem from everyday knocks more thoughtfully than more fragile shapes. The medium intense green will sit beautifully against many metals and skin tones, offering a glow that becomes part of the wearer over years of love and use. Slight inclusions, seen by a trained eye yet unobtrusive in daily wear, are reminders that this stone is natural, that it carries the story of its formation deep underground. Excellent polish ensures that each facet plays a part in the stone's conversation with light, and the precise dimensions make it ideal for custom designs that are both wearable and showstopping. Envision the first time a granddaughter or grandson is given this jewel, the instant recognition that what they hold is both beauty and history, a tangible thread that connects them to generations who loved and protected it before.

To make this emerald a true generational heirloom requires intention and care, both of which The Natural Emerald Company gladly provides. We include the C.Dunaigre certification to anchor provenance and value, and we offer guidance for settings that will preserve the stone for decades, for centuries. Opt for a bezel or a secure prong setting with protective shoulders for daily wear, or choose a locket pendant designed for safekeeping while still sharing its radiance on special days. We recommend periodic gentle cleaning and professional checks to ensure settings remain tight, and we can provide trusted appraisals and documentation for insurance, so that the legal and financial heritage travels as seamlessly as the jewel itself. More than maintenance, we encourage the telling of the stone's story. When you hand this emerald down, attach a small note with the date, the occasion, and perhaps a memory of the person who first chose it. These small acts transform a beautiful object into a vessel of family memory. The Natural Emerald Company stands with you as steward and advisor, offering bespoke mounting services, lifetime care tips, and a community of expertise so this 1.61 carat Muzo emerald endures as a centerpiece of joy and tradition.
