1.78 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This is a rare, transparent emerald from Colombia, presented by The Natural Emerald Company, weighing 1.78 carats, emerald cut and shaped with precise proportions, measuring 9.03 by 6.43 by 4.61 millimeters, clarity graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity that catches the eye, and an excellent polish that gives the stone an even surface and lively reflection. This gem carries a standard enhancement, applied discreetly to deepen stability and bring out its natural brilliance, a common and accepted treatment for fine Colombian material. From the moment you see it, the rich, vivid green distinguishes itself from ordinary stones, the depth and purity of the color speaking of origin and geological pedigree, making this one of the select pieces in our collection that we present only a few times a year.

The emerald cut was chosen for its ability to showcase color with elegant restraint, the stepped facets creating a hall of mirrors effect that emphasizes tone and saturation over scintillation, allowing the vivid green to breath and glow rather than scatter into a rainbow of flashes. Slight inclusions are characteristic of natural emeralds and act as fingerprints of authenticity, they sit comfortably beneath the surface and add to the gemology story, while the excellent polish ensures light moves smoothly across each facet plane. At 9.03 by 6.43 by 4.61 millimeters the stone has presence on the finger without overwhelming proportion, a balanced scale that suits both modern minimalist settings and classic, bespoke creations, and because it is Colombian, it carries a level of prestige and desirability that comes from one of the most celebrated emerald producing regions on earth.

When set in jewelry the vivid green of this Colombian emerald becomes a living partner to the metal and the wearer, and with the right design it can elevate any complexion. On fair and porcelain skin tones the purity and intensity of the green produces a striking contrast that reads as fresh and jewel like, the color appears more luminous and almost electric against a light background, for those with cool undertones select white gold or platinum to maintain crisp clarity, for warmer undertones a touch of yellow gold will introduce inviting warmth without dulling the stone. For light to medium complexions with neutral or olive undertones the emerald will harmonize beautifully, it will sit as a natural extension of the skin, the green deepening without overpowering, and a mixed metal design that pairs a platinum bezel with yellow gold accents will highlight both the wearer and the gem.

On medium tan to deep skin tones this vivid Colombian green truly comes alive, the saturated hue reads as regal and radiant, against deeper backgrounds the green can appear almost velvety and intensely alive, a single stone like this at 1.78 carats becomes a signature piece, a conversation starter. For rich skin tones yellow gold settings amplify the warmth and create a luxurious glow, rose gold can introduce a soft contrast that feels modern and elegant, while white gold or platinum settings offer a contemporary couture feel that allows the green to be the unambiguous star. If you prefer halo settings the surrounding diamonds create a luminous frame that increases apparent size and brightness, if you prefer a clean, understated look a four prong solitaire will emphasize the emerald cut lines and let the vivid color hold center stage, either approach makes this gem an heirloom quality choice.
