1.77 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This 1.77 carat Colombian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is an exemplar of classical emerald cut proportions, measuring 8.07 by 7.12 by 4.90 millimeters. The stone displays a vivid green color intensity, a balanced tone and the subtle bluish nuance that is characteristic of fine Colombian material. The cut is a traditional step cut with truncated corners, arranged in parallel crown and pavilion steps that create broad facet planes and a generous table, the result being controlled light return and depth of color rather than excessive brilliance. The pavilion to average girdle depth yields an overall depth of approximately 64.5 percent, a dimension that accentuates the gem’s saturated color while maintaining excellent face up spread. Facet junctions are executed with precision, symmetry is well maintained across the girdle, and the excellent polish produces crisp facet reflections and a mirror like surface that enhances the gem’s internal vitality.

Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, a condition that is typical for natural emeralds and that contributes to the stone’s individuality without significantly affecting its visual impact. The inclusions are stable and well distributed, adding character rather than distraction, and the gem has undergone standard enhancement consistent with trade practice to optimize clarity. Craftsmanship emphasizes preserving natural material and maximizing the inherent color, evident in the conservative step cutting and refined pavilion geometry. Over the years this emerald will continue to captivate, the vivid hue remaining stable with proper care, and the excellent polish ensuring sustained light performance. With routine professional maintenance, including gentle cleaning, avoidance of harsh chemicals and ultrasonic devices, and periodic inspection of the setting to protect the girdle and corners, the stone can be re polished or carefully re treated if necessary, preserving or even enhancing its face up appearance. For the discerning buyer who values technical quality and enduring beauty, this Colombian 1.77 carat emerald offers an intelligent balance of color saturation, traditional faceting and long term wearability, making it a memorable and lasting addition to any fine jewelry collection.
