1.86 Ct. Emerald from Russia

This emerald is a finely presented 1.86 carat faceted gem, cut in the classic emerald cut, with dimensions of 9.84 by 5.47 by 4.59 millimeters, and a transparent body that allows the intense green color to read with clarity and depth. The stone exhibits intense color intensity, a trait that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize saturation and tone as primary drivers of value. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural emerald material and contributes to the gem character often described by gemologists as jardin. The polish is excellent, and the faceting has been executed to bring forward evenness of color and optimal light return for an elongated step cut. The enhancement is standard, and in line with trade practice this typically means minor clarity enhancement using inert oils or resins that are stable and reversible when necessary, performed to improve visual appeal while maintaining transparency about treatment.

From a grading perspective the combination of intense green color with a slightly included clarity grade and excellent polish places this emerald in a category that educated buyers recognize as high quality within the natural emerald market. Color is the single most important determinant of value in emeralds, and the stone here shows a vivid saturation with medium to medium deep tone that permits brilliance without darkness. The emerald cut is particularly well suited to display this quality because its step facets emphasize depth of color and a crystalline translucency that many collectors prize. The slight inclusions visible at eye level are indicative of natural growth and origin, and they do not detract from the overall appearance given the strong hue and cut proportions. For buyers comparing stones, this gem offers a very favorable balance of color, weight and physical dimensions, making it an excellent choice for a center stone in a bespoke ring or a refined pendant.

For practical use, the size and rectangular outline of this emerald make it highly versatile in jewelry design, and it pairs elegantly with both classic and contemporary settings. At approximately 9.84 by 5.47 millimeters and 1.86 carats, the stone sits comfortably as a focal point in a ring for daily wear or as a refined pendant, while the emerald cut lends itself to designs that celebrate linear geometry and understated luxury. Given emeralds natural sensitivity to impact and their typical inclusions, we recommend secure settings that protect the girdle and corners, and metals such as 18 karat gold or platinum provide a durable mounting that complements the stone s color. Care recommendations include avoiding ultrasonic cleaning and steam cleaning for treated emeralds, using gentle soap and water with a soft brush for maintenance, and storing the gem separately to prevent abrasion. At The Natural Emerald Company we provide support for bespoke mounting, trusted jeweler referrals, and optional third party gemological reports so that your purchase is fully documented and aligned with your standards for ethical, informed acquisition.
