11.78 Ct. Emerald from Brazil

Presenting a magnificent 11.78-carat transparent oval-shaped bluish-green emerald, this gem is a testament to nature’s grandeur and human artistry. Its generous dimensions, measuring 16.87 x 13.02 x 9.35 mm, make it an impressive centerpiece for any sophisticated jewelry piece. The mineralogical wealth of Brazil, where this emerald finds its origin, is renowned for producing some of the world's most captivating emeralds, and this particular gemstone stands proudly in that tradition. The Natural Emerald Company is pleased to offer this exquisite emerald, which exudes an unparalleled allure resulting from both its natural beauty and the superb craftsmanship that enhances its best attributes.

One of the paramount features of this emerald is its mixed brilliant cut, meticulously crafted to amplify the inherent properties of the gemstone. A mixed brilliant cut combines elements of both step-cut and brilliant-cut techniques, optimizing the emerald's capability to reflect light. This design accentuates the emerald's bluish-green hue by allowing maximum light entry, resulting in a luminous display of sparkle and brilliance. The strategic faceting creates numerous planes for light to dance upon, yielding a vibrant play of color that enchants the viewer. This expertly administered cut also minimizes waste of the natural raw material, preserving the stone’s substantial carat weight and enhancing its natural luminescence and appeal.

The clarity grade of this emerald, while slightly included when assessed at eye level, complements its overall aesthetics. The term 'slightly included' indicates the presence of small inclusions which are common in natural emeralds. These unique inclusions are part of what gives each stone its individuality and are often considered charming characteristics rather than imperfections. They attest to the gemstone's natural origin and add a distinctive character to its vista, subtly tracing the story of its geological era. Furthermore, the intensity of its bluish-green color is classified as medium intense, a desirable and sought-after hue among connoisseurs and jewelry enthusiasts alike. This rich color, coupled with the stone's brilliant cut, ensures a captivating visual experience.

Another stellar attribute of this emerald is its excellent polish, a crucial element that ensures the gemstone engages fully with light. An excellent polish means that the surface of the emerald is smooth and free from minute abrasions, allowing light to travel unhindered across its expanse. This contributes to the stone's lavish luster and enhances its overall aesthetics, compelling admiration even at a distance. At The Natural Emerald Company, we prioritize maintaining exceptionally high standards in all our gemstones and the finishing touches on this emerald affirm this commitment to excellence. Whether incorporated into a tasteful piece of high-end jewelry or treasured individually, this Brazilian emerald epitomizes the intersection of natural marvel and precise human craftsmanship.
