1.87 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent Colombian emerald, offered by The Natural Emerald Company, weighs 1.87 carat and presents an emerald cut measuring 8.64 x 6.11 x 5.18 mm. The stone exhibits an intense green hue with an eye clean clarity grade when viewed at normal viewing distance, and an excellent polish that preserves crisp facet junctions. Enhancement is standard, consistent with industry practice for Colombian emeralds, and contributes to the stability and visual presentation of the gem. The overall proportions and transparency allow the stone to convey significant color saturation without appearing overly dark, and the rectangular outline with clipped corners provides a classical silhouette suitable for a range of settings.

The emerald cut itself is instrumental in enhancing the gem sustainment and management of light, by employing a series of broad, parallel step facets that emphasize depth of color and internal clarity rather than scintillation alone. The large table facet and the tiered pavilion planes channel light through the body of the stone, permitting a controlled return of light that manifests as a deep, even green rather than a fragmented sparkle. This geometry allows the viewer to appreciate the stone substructure, with internal characteristics rendered as part of the overall visual texture rather than as disruptive inclusions, an outcome made possible by the eye clean clarity grade. The excellent polish increases specular reflection from facet surfaces, improving contrast and edge definition, while the stone depth and facet angles have been calibrated to balance light leakage and color saturation. In practice, the emerald cut maximizes the perception of color intensity in this 1.87 carat Colombian emerald, delivering a disciplined interplay of transmitted and reflected light. For settings that aim to showcase the inherent color and clarity, the stone performs well in both bezel and prong styles, responding to lighting variations with a steady, rich presence rather than transient flashes, and offering a refined optical character suitable for design work that prioritizes color and clarity.
