1.75 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

Emeralds have been treasured across millennia for their association with renewal, prosperity, and enduring beauty, and this Colombian emerald carries that legacy with graceful simplicity. Hand sourced from the storied mines of Colombia, where the geological conditions have produced some of the most sought after greens in the world, this gem reflects a lineage that traces back to ancient courts and royal treasuries. The Natural Emerald Company is proud to present a stone that is both a conversation with history and a luminous statement for the modern wearer. Its emerald cut evokes the classical artistry of fine gem cutting, a style that has been favored for generations for its ability to emphasize color and clarity while lending an architecture of light that feels timeless and deliberate.

This particular specimen weighs 1.75 carats, and measures 8.35 by 6.96 by 4.75 millimeters, with an emerald cut that presents broad, stepped facets and crisp lines. The gem is transparent, with a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that is often regarded as emblematic of natural emeralds, and one that speaks to the stone as an organic treasure rather than a manufactured likeness. Its color intensity is described as intense, a rich verdant green that is deep and saturated without appearing overly dark, and the polish is excellent, allowing each facet to catch and return light with clarity and depth. The stone has been given standard enhancement, a practice that has long been accepted in the trade to stabilize and improve the presentation of natural emeralds, and the result is a stone that is ready to be set into a design that will honor its provenance and beauty.

The emerald cut is particularly flattering for this vivid color, because its broad planes of light allow the green to breathe and to show both its inner glow and its surface brilliance. In a solitaire ring, this stone will read as a bold, elegant centerpiece, its intensity commanding attention while its geometry offers a refined restraint. In a halo or three stone setting, the vivid green will contrast beautifully with bright white diamonds, creating a classic combination that elevates both the emerald and the surrounding stones. The jewel will also translate beautifully in yellow gold, where warmth enhances the green, and in platinum or white gold, where a cool setting will give the color a modern, high contrast presentation. Photographs of the gem set on the hand illustrate how the face up presence of the stone catches the eye, appearing lively and jewel like against skin tones, a quality that ensures the color will stand out in any jewelry setting, day or night, casual or formal.
