1.76 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This remarkable, transparent 1.76 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald, measuring 7.61 x 6.98 x 4.75 mm, is a rare find reserved for collectors and connoisseurs who seek exclusivity. Mined in Colombia and offered through The Natural Emerald Company, this gem presents an intense color intensity and an excellent polish that together announce its provenance and pedigree. Its clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, a natural signature in fine Colombian material that confirms authenticity and individuality, rather than detracting from value. Enhancement is standard, a responsible and traditional treatment that stabilizes and enhances the stone while respecting its natural character. Each facet, each internal fingerprint of formation, tells a story of geological time, and owning this emerald means joining an elite group who can wear a piece of that story, a bespoke treasure not easily replicated.

What sets this emerald apart is its asscher cut and the precise way its internal geometry interacts with light, producing a sparkle unmatched by many other cuts. The asscher cut, with its stepped pavilion and concentric square facets, creates a hall of mirrors effect that channels light into deep, luminous flashes from the center outward, while the octagonal outline softens the angles into elegant, repeated reflections. The excellent polish ensures each facet boundary is crisp, maximizing light return and scintillation, while the stone’s depth at 4.75 mm is balanced to allow saturation of its intense green without losing transparency. Slight inclusions act as tiny prisms and light modulators, scattering and refracting light in subtle, complex ways that lend the gem a living, three dimensional glow, rather than a flat brightness. For a pearl of such provenance and structure, settings that emphasize the table and the step facets, such as a minimal bezel, a knife edge solitaire, or a tailored halo designed to frame and magnify, will best showcase its inner fire. If you wish to reserve this exclusive Colombian asscher emerald, or to commission a bespoke mount that speaks to its rarity, The Natural Emerald Company is ready to assist you with private consultation and secure purchase arrangements.
