1.76 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

In the quiet language of light and color, this emerald sings like a promise. From The Natural Emerald Company we present a transparent emerald of 1.76 carat, an oval shape that curves like the arc of a gentle vow. Its dimensions of 8.85 x 7.27 x 4.33 mm give it presence on the hand, long enough to elongate a finger, yet tender enough to carry the intimacy of a first word of love. Cut in a mixed brilliant fashion, each facet is a small window that throws back verdant fire, and an excellent polish allows each flash to travel freely, like sunlight through late afternoon leaves. The color intensity is vivid, a deep green that is neither shy nor loud, a color that leans toward the green of ancient forest canopy and the green of two people growing together over time, and the origin of this gem from Colombia brings with it a pedigree of deep and storied beauty.

Beyond poetry there is craft, and this stone balances soul and science with grace. The clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that marks the stone as naturally formed rather than manufactured, and those slight inclusions speak of the emeralds journey under the earth, like tiny remnants of the world from which it was born. Enhancement is standard, the customary treatment that conservators and connoisseurs accept as honest enhancement, a gentle oiling that enriches the hue and stabilizes the gem without altering its true character. In the hand the mixed brilliant cut yields a lively interplay of brilliance and depth, facets that scintillate in movement and deliver a different story in each light, from dawn light to candle glow to the subtle luminescence of evening. The excellent polish makes this behavior fluent, a gem that answers a lover with candor, with sparkle, with unwavering depth.

For an engagement ring this emerald is a declaration of intention and taste, an emblem of a love that is both vivid and enduring. The oval silhouette sits gracefully in a variety of settings, from a solitary ring that places the green heart at the center of attention, to a halo that frames the color with a ring of diamonds like stars around a moon, to a vintage inspired mounting that lets the gem feel like an heirloom already. Consider yellow gold to warm the green and make the color sing with old world romance, consider white metal to set a modern tone and let the green breathe against a cool backdrop. The dimensions of 8.85 x 7.27 x 4.33 mm make it versatile for both slender and more substantial band designs, and the 1.76 carat weight gives it significance without demanding ostentation. Emeralds carry a softer toughness than some stones, a beauty that needs thoughtful care, and we at The Natural Emerald Company are pleased to advise on settings that protect the girdle and table, on cleaning that preserves the oiling, and on daily wear practices that allow the gem to accompany a life rather than threaten it.

When you choose this Colombian emerald you choose a story as old as the mines from which it came, and as new as the moment you kneel and ask. It will not be a token without history, nor a jewel without voice, it will be a living color that records conversation, laughter, and quiet mornings together. Let this stone be the green to which your memories return, the color that takes on new meaning with each year. Reach out to The Natural Emerald Company and allow us to help you envision the setting that will make this 1.76 carat oval emerald a beginning, a promise, and an heirloom, a companion for decades and a witness to a life shared.
