1.66 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the misty highlands where Colombian veins of beryl have whispered stories for centuries, this stone began its journey as a rough emerald unearthed with patience and respect. Hand selected for color and clarity, it traveled from mine to master cutter, and emerged as a C.Dunaigre certified 1.66 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald, with precise dimensions of 7.44 x 7.19 x 5.08 mm. The asscher cut was chosen to honor both the gem's natural depth and the classical geometry of step faceting, creating a refined, architectural silhouette. Evaluated at eye level as slightly included, this transparent emerald displays a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, with standard enhancement noted, attributes that speak to its authenticity and careful handling. Every facet reflects the hands that shaped it, and the certificate that accompanies it records a lineage of provenance and skill.

In design and presence this emerald becomes an uncompromising statement piece, its 1.66 carat weight and generous 7.44 by 7.19 millimeter spread providing a commanding center without overwhelming elegance. The slightly included clarity allows light to breathe through the green heart of the gem, producing depth and movement that a brilliant cut cannot replicate, while the asscher style facets create hallways of light and green that catch the eye with every turn. Polished to excellent standards, it sits beautifully on the hand as shown, capable of anchoring a bold solitaire ring or rising as a refined pendant. At The Natural Emerald Company we celebrate the gemstone as both heirloom and individual, and we are here to help you envision the perfect setting, metal, and mounting to amplify this emeralds natural drama. This stone combines Colombian origin, documented certification, and exceptional cutting to become not simply a gem, but a story you can wear, a statement that announces taste, history, and authenticity.
