1.82 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent 1.82 carat oval green emerald from Colombia is a rare combination of weight, color, and clarity, and it stands out in a crowded market of emerald options. The 1.82 carat weight places this stone above the more common under one carat sizes that dominate retail shelves, and that extra mass delivers presence, proportion, and value that smaller stones cannot match. The gem measures 9.21 x 6.84 x 5.36 mm, and those dimensions give it an ideal face up presentation for a center stone in a ring or pendant. The mixed brilliant cut is chosen to maximize scintillation and light return, and where many emeralds are cut to preserve weight at the expense of optical performance, this stone balances yield and brilliance so that color and sparkle work together. The clarity is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, and for emeralds this grade often represents the best compromise between natural character and transparency. Many market emeralds of this size show heavier inclusions or are filled with treatments to mask them. This Colombian emerald is untreated, with no enhancement, and that factor alone elevates its desirability and resale value in comparison to treated stones that populate much of the market. The color intensity is vivid, and combined with an excellent polish, the result is a gem that offers lively, even color and clean faceting lines that catch and return light with superior quality.

When you compare this 1.82 carat emerald to other stones on the market, the advantages are clear. First, untreated Colombian emeralds of this weight and vivid color intensity are far less common than treated examples, and rarity drives long term value. Second, the 1.82 carat size crosses an important threshold in fine jewelry, because it reads as a substantial center without becoming cumbersome for everyday wear. Many buyers compromise by choosing a larger treated stone to achieve color and clarity, or a smaller untreated stone to remain within budget. This emerald avoids that compromise, combining meaningful carat weight with natural authenticity. The mixed brilliant cut also differentiates it from the more traditional step cuts that can mute an emeralds internal glow. Compared to lower quality stones that rely on oiling or composite treatments to present color, this gem shows natural depth and saturation, and its excellent polish ensures that the surface finish amplifies light rather than scattering it. From a value perspective, price per carat increases disproportionately as carat weight rises for high quality material, so a 1.82 carat vivid Colombian emerald gives significantly more value and rarity per carat than smaller or treated alternatives.

Beyond market comparisons, the technical and aesthetic attributes of this emerald make it an exceptional choice for a fine jewelry centerpiece or for collectors looking for long term appreciation. The 9.21 x 6.84 x 5.36 mm proportions are well suited to classic oval settings and are particularly flattering in rings where balanced length to width ratio enhances finger coverage while maintaining comfort. Slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level means that the stone retains transparency and life, and those natural inclusions do not detract from the gem but rather authenticate it when compared to synthetic or heavily treated options. The vivid green color intensity is the hallmark of top Colombian material, and with no enhancement the color is entirely natural, which gives this emerald a distinct advantage for connoisseurs who prioritize natural origin and minimal intervention. The excellent polish completes the package, making the facets crisp and allowing the mixed brilliant cut to perform at its best. When clients consider the alternatives, including lab grown emeralds and commercial treated stones, they quickly see that the natural origin, combined with this weight and visual impact, positions this gem as superior in personality, provenance, and potential longevity.
