1.72 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

When you are searching for a gemstone that combines meaningful symbolism with true gem quality, this heart shaped Colombian emerald answers that call. This transparent 1.72 carat heart, measuring 8.14 x 8.20 x 4.89 mm, is expertly faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to bring out exceptional sparkle and life. The rich green hue is described as intense in color intensity, and the excellent polish gives the surface a lively, reflective finish that catches the eye on every movement. At The Natural Emerald Company we know that whether you are choosing an engagement center stone, a romantic gift, or a collector piece, you want a gem that speaks of quality, provenance, and enduring beauty, and this emerald embodies those priorities.

You may be looking for a stone that dominates the setting with presence yet remains elegant and wearable, and this heart shaped emerald delivers precisely that balance. The mixed brilliant faceting pattern has been chosen to concentrate brilliancy toward the table while preserving color saturation, so the heart silhouette reads as both vibrant and dimensional on the finger or in a pendant. The dimensions 8.14 by 8.20 millimeters are substantial enough to read confidently as a center stone, while the depth at 4.89 millimeters is proportioned to maintain strong light return and a pleasing face up appearance. Slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, is a common and expected trait in natural Colombian emeralds, and in this example the small inclusions do not detract from the gem’s impressive visual impact. The standard enhancement applied to this emerald reflects traditional, accepted treatment methods used to improve clarity while retaining natural origin and character.

Durability matters when you intend to wear a gemstone every day, and this emerald is suited to daily wear with thoughtful setting and care. On the Mohs hardness scale the mineral family to which emeralds belong rates between 7.5 and 8, providing good resistance to everyday scratching from common materials. Because natural emeralds typically contain internal features, toughness can vary, and that is why clarity and cutting are important. This heart shaped gem is slightly included rather than heavily included, which improves overall stability compared with more heavily compromised stones. The excellent polish and carefully executed mixed brilliant cutting produce smoother facet junctions and a clean girdle, details that reduce the likelihood of chips from incidental contact. For the wearer who plans daily use, we recommend secure settings such as a low profile bezel or a protective halo to shield the girdle and table, or a well placed prong setting with reinforced mounting. With those choices and with simple precautions like removing the ring for heavy manual work and avoiding harsh chemicals, this Colombian emerald will shine as an everyday statement piece.

At The Natural Emerald Company we understand that your purchase is about more than carat weight and measurements, it is about finding the one stone that ends your search and begins a new chapter. This heart shaped emerald offers a rare combination of intense Colombian color, thoughtful proportions, and a finish that enhances both beauty and practical wearability. As a center stone for an engagement ring it conveys romance with authenticity, as a collector piece it represents provenance and natural character, and as a bespoke gift it will be cherished for its unique heart form. We stand behind our gemstones and are available to advise on ideal settings, complementary metals, and care instructions so that your chosen piece performs beautifully over a lifetime. When your priority is a gem that matches high expectations for beauty and durability, this 1.72 carat heart shaped emerald is the answer you have been looking for, and The Natural Emerald Company is ready to help you make it yours.
