1.79 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This exceptional transparent emerald, weighing 1.79 carat and measuring 8.64 x 6.34 x 4.38 mm, is a textbook example of what discriminating collectors seek. Cut in a classic emerald cut and faceted with precision, it presents a broad table and step facets that emphasize depth of tone and pure green saturation. The color intensity is vivid, a highly desirable attribute for Colombian material, and the excellent polish ensures superior light return and a lively visual presence when viewed under natural or display lighting. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, indicating natural characteristic inclusions that are typical for emeralds, and that do not materially detract from transparency or overall beauty. Enhancement is standard, consistent with traditional oiling or similar minor clarity treatments used to stabilize and improve the apparent clarity of fine emeralds, applied in a way that is both common and accepted in the trade. The Colombian origin further enhances its provenance, as Colombia remains the benchmark source for the most prized emerald hues and saturation, and this stone reflects that pedigree in both tone and vitality.

For a high end gemstone collection this emerald represents an outstanding acquisition, blending gemological integrity, aesthetic refinement, and investment quality. At 1.79 carat the size is significant enough to serve as a showpiece, yet the measured proportions of 8.64 x 6.34 x 4.38 mm allow for elegant placement in bespoke settings, from classic solitaire rings to sophisticated three stone or halo designs that preserve the clean lines of the emerald cut. The slightly included clarity conveys authenticity to an educated buyer who understands that natural inclusions are a hallmark of genuine emeralds, and the vivid color intensity contributes more to market value than flawless clarity would in many other gem species. The excellent polish and precise faceting maximize color performance and wearer appeal, while the standard enhancement aligns with industry norms for preserving and stabilizing the gem. Offered by The Natural Emerald Company this stone is backed by our expertise and commitment to transparent sourcing, making it an ideal, trustable addition to a curated collection that seeks both beauty and provenance.
