1.67 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

There are gemstones that announce themselves with a quiet authority, and then there is this exceptional Colombian emerald, a transparent 1.67 carat jewel that demands attention the moment light meets its facets. Precisely measured at 7.38 by 7.30 by 5.13 millimeters, this stone has been fashioned with an asscher cut, a sophisticated interpretation of the classic step-cut that produces broad, mirror-like planes and a scintillating play of light. The asscher cut gives this emerald an architectural poise, an elegant symmetry that flatters both contemporary and heirloom settings. Its intense color intensity is the defining characteristic, a vibrant, deeply saturated green that is unmistakably Colombian in character, while the excellent polish ensures each facet is a crisp canvas for light to dance across. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, a concession that in no way diminishes its purity, but rather affirms the authenticity and natural origin of the gem. With standard enhancement, a customary and transparent practice in emeralds, this stone presents its most beautiful self while retaining the integrity collectors and connoisseurs prize.

The provenance of this emerald elevates it from a mere luxury object to a storied treasure. Colombia has, for centuries, been the preeminent source of the world’s finest emeralds, its geology producing the most vivid and velvety greens imaginable. To own a Colombian emerald is to own a piece of that legacy, a connection to mines that have long set the benchmark for color and depth, which is precisely why origin matters. The terroir of Colombia imparts a color quality and depth that is difficult to replicate elsewhere, a nuanced spectrum of green that reads as both lush and luminous. At The Natural Emerald Company, we understand how provenance shapes value, and we steward each stone with the respect its birthplace deserves, ensuring that the story of this gem—its formation in Colombian earth, its careful cutting to a refined asscher profile, and its final emergence as an object of desire—is preserved and celebrated from mine to client.

To wear this emerald is to make a statement about taste, discernment, and accomplishment. Set as a solitaire ring it will command the eye, its clean step facets offering a sophisticated, architectural presence that complements minimalist modernity or classical glamour. As a center stone in a bespoke commission, its intense coloration will anchor diamonds or platinum with a rich, regal contrast, while its 1.67 carat weight and well-proportioned measurements allow for bold presence without excess. At The Natural Emerald Company we pair such gems with settings that honor their natural virtues, and we advise collectors and clients on designs that maximize the stone’s optical strengths, from the way the asscher facets return color to the face, to the depth that reveals itself as the ring rotates. For the discerning buyer, this emerald is more than adornment; it is a tactile symbol of achievement, a quiet yet unmistakable proclamation of refined taste that will be passed down, appreciated, and envied for generations.

In selecting this Colombian asscher-cut emerald, you choose rarity, history, and craft in a single exquisite gem. The combination of intense, lively green, transparent body, excellent polish, and very slightly included clarity presents a balance that sophisticated collectors prize, and the standard enhancement reflects a traditional, acceptable method to present the gem’s best possible appearance. The Natural Emerald Company stands behind the gem’s provenance and presentation, offering expertise in setting, certification guidance, and the bespoke service that transforms a remarkable stone into a personal heirloom. Owning this emerald is not simply an act of acquisition, it is an affirmation of a cultivated sensibility, a decision to surround oneself with objects that signify both taste and meaning, a luminous testament to the enduring allure of Colombian emeralds.
