1.83 Ct. Emerald from Russia

This transparent 1.83 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald measures 7.60 by 6.89 by 5.38 millimeters, originating from Russia and offered by The Natural Emerald Company. The asscher cut for this stone is executed as a precise step cut with concentric rectangular facets terminating in trimmed octagonal corners, producing strong linear scintillation and a controlled light return. Proportions are thoughtful, with the depth measuring approximately 5.38 millimeters relative to the average girdle diameter, yielding a depth of approximately 74.3 percent, a profile that intensifies color saturation while maintaining considerable table brilliance. Color intensity is evaluated as intense, a vivid medium deep green that benefits from the deeper pavilion geometry to present a uniform face up tone without dark windows or overt color zoning. No enhancement is present, so the natural color and internal features are fully characteristic of an untreated Russian emerald.

The cutting and polish are of exceptional standard, with an excellent polish that sharpens facet junctions and maximizes mirror like facet reflections, making this gem perform with remarkable step cut brilliance for its class. The asscher faceting pattern produces a concentric hall of mirrors effect, and the step facets have been balanced to emphasize both the internal color and the reflective planes, allowing the eye to travel inward toward the gem center. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, with natural internal features that are typical in emeralds and that contribute to the stone character without materially compromising transparency or light performance. These internal features are oriented within the step planes and in many viewing angles they refract light to create additional scintillation rather than appearing as obtrusive marks. The combination of intense natural color, masterful asscher faceting, untreated origin, and excellent polish makes this emerald a distinctive centerpiece for a high end collection, ideal for a solitaire or a finely engineered halo setting that preserves its step facet geometry. The Natural Emerald Company presents this specimen as a statement gem for connoisseurs who value precise cutting, provenance, and natural color intensity.
