1.99 Ct. Emerald from Russia

There is a hush when you first lift this green ember to the light, a quiet promise held within a cushion shape that seems to keep a secret and offer it only to the patient. We present a transparent emerald, a near two carat wonder at 1.99 carat, measured with careful hands at 8.18 x 7.14 x 5.59 mm, each number a footprint of its presence. Faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, its planes catch and release light like the slow turning of a poem, and an excellent polish allows each facet to breathe and sing. Originating from Russia, this stone carries the cool, deep resonance of northern veins, its intense color intensity pouring green like an evening tide. At eye level it is graded slightly included, an honest trace of the earth that gives the gem personality rather than imperfection. Enhancement is standard, a common practice that stabilizes and enriches what nature has already begun, and in the hands of The Natural Emerald Company this emerald is presented with the reverence and knowledge a stone of this temperament deserves.

Weight in gemstones is poetry and arithmetic at once, and the 1.99 carat weight of this cushion emerald is the fulcrum on which its rarity balances. It stands so close to the coveted two carat mark that every fraction of a point is a testament to the miner who found it and the cutter who coaxed its life into light. In emeralds, where cutting must respect natural inclusions and retain depth of color, approaching two carats without sacrificing brilliance is an achievement, and it speaks to the careful stewardship this gem has undergone. The weight enlarges its voice, giving it a presence on the hand and in a setting that smaller stones can only hint at, it adds substance to a ring or pendant and therefore to the story you choose to tell with it. Value in emeralds is guided by color, clarity, cut, and carat, and here the intense green is king, supported nobly by a clarity that reads slightly included at eye level, which can add character and proof of natural origin. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and face up appeal, ensuring that the nearly two carat weight is shown to its best advantage, making this emerald a rare meeting of scale and soul.

Imagine this cushion emerald in a ring that captures a promise, set in a bezel that echoes its soft outline or cradled by prongs that allow its light to roam. As a salesperson for The Natural Emerald Company I know how weight whispers to collectors and lovers alike, how 1.99 carat can be the difference between an heirloom and a curiosity, between a glance and a lifelong gaze. This gem asks to be worn close, to be part of a morning ritual of light, to witness anniversaries and quiet triumphs, and to deepen in meaning with every passing year. Because of its Russian origin and intense color intensity, paired with excellent polish and a thoughtful cut, it will reward a setting that honors its depth, while its slight inclusions remind the beholder that beauty is born of the earth. If you seek a stone that reads as both intimate and significant, that balances rarity with poetic presence, allow The Natural Emerald Company to guide you, we will show you how this 1.99 carat cushion emerald can be translated into a piece that holds your story, we will help you choose a setting that cherishes its weight and color, and we will stand with you as it becomes part of a promise.
