1.66 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

Emeralds have been revered for millennia, their verdant glow woven into the stories of pharaohs, emperors, and poets, and this exquisite Colombian example continues that lineage with elegant authority. At 1.66 carats, this transparent asscher octagon shape green emerald presents a perfect balance of presence and poise, its geometry speaking to both refined tradition and timeless design. Measuring 7.44 x 7.19 x 5.08 mm, the proportions of this gem honor the classical symmetry prized by master cutters, while the asscher cut amplifies the stone s natural depth through step facets that create a quiet, sophisticated brilliance. Originating from Colombia, a cradle of the finest emeralds known to history, and offered by The Natural Emerald Company, this gem carries provenance that resonates with collectors and connoisseurs who value lineage as much as luster. Its clarity is described as slightly included evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that in emeralds often contributes to their unique internal tapestry, and its vivid color intensity announces a saturated, lively green that has drawn admiration across centuries. The enhancement is standard, a customary and accepted treatment to stabilize and present the stone at its most natural beauty, and the polish is excellent, ensuring each facet reflects light with crisp, enduring clarity.

The vibrant color of this emerald will stand out in any jewelry setting, commanding attention whether set in a minimalist solitaire or embraced within a lavish vintage halo. The asscher cut s stepped facets act like architectural planes, catching and returning light in broad, luminous flashes that enhance the gem s vivid green rather than masking it. In white metal settings the stone s intense hue reads as modern and striking, a vivid centerpiece that contrasts beautifully with platinum or white gold. In yellow gold the same color takes on a warmer, more regal expression, recalling the ancient royal adornments where emeralds were paired with gold to evoke both status and natural splendor. Designers who favor classic silhouettes will find this gem equally at home in an art deco inspired ring where geometric lines echo the asscher cut, in a pendant that allows the stone to move and catch sunlight, or in a pair of bespoke earrings where matched gems frame the face with timeless elegance. Even with the slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level, the vivid color intensity and excellent polish ensure that the stone s surface and internal life remain compelling and eye catching, a testament to the skill of the cutter and the inherent quality of Colombian material.
