1.97 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

At The Natural Emerald Company we present a transparent Colombian emerald of singular presence, a splendid 1.97 carat gem cut into an asscher octagon, with precise proportions of 7.74 by 7.36 by 5.00 millimeters. This stone carries a vivid color intensity that commands attention, a clarity graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that speaks to the meticulous hands that finished it. Enhancement is standard, the customary treatment that enhances stability and beauty while preserving the natural character and origin of the gem. From a distance the gem projects an uncompromising green, and on closer inspection the transparency allows the light to traverse the stone with a clarity rarely seen in emeralds of this richness. Such provenance from Colombia adds a lineage of prestige, and when you hold this jewel you hold a fragment of the earths most celebrated emerald country.

The asscher cut has been selected not merely for its geometry, but for the way it sculpts light into disciplined architecture, turning color into an experience. The concentric step facets of the asscher form a pavilion and crown that act like parallel mirrors, channeling light inward and then releasing it in layers of broad, velvety flashes. This asscher octagon geometry emphasizes depth over dazzle, it creates a hall of mirrors effect where repeated rectangular facets frame the table, and each facet plane reflects and refracts the vivid green, producing a luminous depth that seems to emanate from the core of the gem. The comparatively high crown and well proportioned pavilion translate every ray into measured brilliance, the excellent polish sharpening edges so that facet junctions read as crisp lines of light. Because the stone is remarkably transparent and only very slightly included at eye level, the step facets work without interruption, allowing long, elegant flashes rather than scattered scintillation, and this controlled interplay intensifies the perception of color saturation and vitality. In direct light the gem reveals a spectrum of green nuances from deep forest heart tones to lively emerald flashes, and in softer light it returns a refined glow, articulate and noble.

To wear this emerald is to claim a quiet authority, an unmistakable emblem of refined taste, and a personal milestone that transcends fashion. At 1.97 carat the gem reads with assurance on the hand, its 7.74 by 7.36 millimeter table presenting a generous face up presence that flatters every setting, while its step cut lends itself beautifully to a solitaire or a tailored setting that celebrates geometry and poise. Consider a classic four prong in a warm gold to set the green aglow, or a bespoke bezel that frames the octagonal silhouette for a modern statement. For those seeking contrast, a halo of fine white stones can amplify the center color without eclipsing the asscher architecture, the result being a jewel that balances heritage with contemporary intent. Our specialists at The Natural Emerald Company will guide the selection of metal and mount to preserve the stones proportions and to make the asscher cut perform to its fullest, ensuring the polish and facet symmetry remain uncompromised. Owning this Colombian emerald is an assertion of discernment, a choice for someone who appreciates that the finest gems are not merely worn, they are curated, preserved, and presented as enduring expressions of personal distinction.
