1.94 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

As a specialist with The Natural Emerald Company, I present an exceptional offering for the collector who demands both provenance and presence, a single transparent C.Dunaigre certified emerald, weighing 1.94 carat, cut to the classic emerald shape, with exact dimensions of 9.28 x 7.76 x 3.97 mm. This stone carries a vivid green color intensity that reads as unmistakably Colombian, and a clarity graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a detail that speaks to its natural origin and character. The polish is excellent, allowing light to travel across the broad, stepped facets of the emerald cut with clarity and serenity, while the enhancement is standard, in keeping with long accepted trade practices. Because there is only one gem of this precise combination of weight, cut, color, and origin in our inventory, this is an opportunity to acquire a true singularity, a gem that will not be duplicated in our immediate offering, and a rare chance to possess a piece that is both museum worthy and destined for a bespoke setting.

The story of this emerald begins in Colombia, a land that for centuries has produced the world most coveted greens, and that heritage is woven into every facet of this gem. Traditional miners and master cutters in Colombia developed an eye for the saturated, velvety tones that distinguish the highest quality stones, and this emerald reflects that lineage. The emerald cut chosen for this stone emphasizes depth and color over heavy brilliance, a style that has been favored for important jewels for generations because it showcases the innate color and internal character of a stone rather than obscuring it with excessive scintillation. The clarity grade of slightly included is consistent with the history of emeralds, where nature leaves subtle fingerprints, and the standard enhancement aligns with historic practices of stabilizing and presenting emeralds to their best advantage, a continuity of care and respect for the gem that has been practiced for centuries.

Historically, emeralds have been more than ornaments, they have been emblems of power, healing, and renewal, treasured by rulers, seers, and collectors across civilizations. In ancient Egypt emeralds were associated with fertility and rebirth, in the courts of Europe they were reserved for the highest ranks, and among Andean cultures Colombian emeralds were revered and incorporated into ceremonial objects. To wear an emerald was to place a symbol of continuity and lush vitality against the skin, a tradition that slips seamlessly into modern appreciation where such a gem becomes not merely a decorative object but a talisman of lineage. Owning this particular Colombian emerald connects the wearer to that long continuum of reverence and use, while the emerald cut gives it a distinctly contemporary elegance, allowing the historical narrative to meet modern design. For those who commission custom pieces from The Natural Emerald Company, this gem offers the rare satisfaction of knowing that the final jewel will be an heirloom that carries both geological history and human history.
