1.87 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This emerald is a transparent, emerald cut gem weighing 1.87 carats, measuring 8.64 by 6.11 by 5.18 millimeters. The stone displays an intense green color intensity, a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that enhances facet definition and surface luster. The classic emerald cut, with its broad table and step facets, is chosen to emphasize the gematic color and internal depth rather than to maximize scintillation, producing a refined, mirror like interplay of light that allows the green saturation to read as vivid and stable from multiple viewing angles. Enhancement is standard according to industry practice, applied judiciously to improve apparent clarity and stability without compromising the natural character of the material. The result is a well proportioned, visually compelling emerald that balances weight retention, color saturation, and cut integrity.

The journey of this stone begins in Colombia, a country whose deposits have historically produced some of the most sought after emeralds for their rich tonal range and depth of hue. Following extraction, the rough was subjected to careful selection by experienced buyers who assess color zoning, inclusion patterns, and potential for yield. The rough was then directed to cutters with specific expertise in faceting step cut gemstones, where decisions were made to optimize color concentration and table dimensions while preserving carat weight. During cutting, attention was paid to facet symmetry and girdle integrity to maximize durability in finished settings. After cutting, the stone underwent standard clarity enhancement procedures that are widely accepted by the trade, applied under controlled conditions to improve translucency where appropriate. Each stage from mine through cutting and treatment was documented and reviewed by the quality team at The Natural Emerald Company, ensuring traceability and adherence to our handling protocols. Final appraisal included an eye level clarity assessment, a polish grading, and confirmation of color intensity, all recorded in our internal documentation.

In the market, this 1.87 carat emerald is presented as a specimen suited to a range of fine jewelry settings where color and presence are paramount. The stone’s proportions and emerald cut recommend settings with protective prongs or a bezel to mitigate exposure of its table and edges, while allowing the broad face up color to be the focal point. Given the natural inclusion characteristics typical of emerald, care recommendations include avoiding ultrasonic cleaning and harsh solvents, cleaning with mild soap and water and a soft brush, and occasional inspection by a professional jeweler to monitor setting security and to determine if refreshing of standard enhancement treatments is advisable. The Natural Emerald Company maintains documentation of origin, cut, clarity evaluation, enhancement type, and polish grade, and provides this information to clients to support informed decisions about care and long term stewardship. This emerald represents a combination of Colombian origin, considered cutting and finishing, and transparent reporting, presented with a measured emphasis on gem quality and provenance.
