11.86 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Colombia

At The Natural Emerald Company we are pleased to present a remarkable, C.Dunaigre certified emerald, an elegant oval gem weighing 11.86 carats, with dimensions of 14.41 by 12.12 by 9.50 millimeters, and finished with a double cabochon cut that highlights the stone's natural translucence. This emerald offers a medium intense green color that is vivid yet balanced, a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level which lends character and authenticity, and an excellent polish that creates a smooth, lustrous surface ideal for fine jewelry. The stone has undergone standard enhancement, a common and accepted treatment that improves durability and appearance without compromising integrity, and its origin is Colombia, a source renowned for producing some of the world’s most sought after emeralds. The accompanying C.Dunaigre certificate confirms the gem's identity, weight, dimensions, color classification, and origin, providing the assurance collectors and connoisseurs demand.

Visually this emerald is a study in classic beauty, its rounded double cabochon profile offering a soft, pillowed silhouette that diffuses light across the surface and produces a deep, calming green glow. The transparency is notable for a cabochon of this size, allowing the medium intense color to read clearly even in modest lighting, while the slight inclusions add a fingerprint of nature that many enthusiasts prize for the story they tell. The excellent polish yields a satisfying sheen, emphasizing the evenness of the color and the smooth curvature of the dome, which together create a gem that feels generous and organic. Given its substantial 11.86 carat weight and its Colombian origin, this stone stands out for both aesthetic presence and provenance, qualities that appeal to designers seeking a centerpiece for a bespoke ring, pendant, or brooch. The size and clarity make it suitable for settings that protect the stone while showcasing its rounded form, and the double cabochon cut is particularly well suited to classic and vintage inspired designs where a soft, luminous face is preferred over faceted brilliance.

For buyers and collectors considering this emerald, The Natural Emerald Company recommends treatments and settings that preserve the gem's natural beauty and longevity. Because the stone is cabochon cut and slightly included, a secure bezel or half bezel setting will provide protection along the girdle and reduce the risk of impact damage during wear, while allowing the domed surface to remain the visual focus. Routine care should include avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes, gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush or cloth, and professional inspection of the setting at least annually. The C.Dunaigre certificate should accompany the stone, as it substantiates origin and quality for insurance and resale purposes, and collectors should note that Colombian emeralds of this size and color intensity are highly regarded in the market for both aesthetic and investment reasons. If you would like detailed photographs, video, or to arrange a private viewing, The Natural Emerald Company is ready to assist with measured condition reports, secure shipping options, and personalized advice on mounting and design, ensuring that this beautiful 11.86 carat Colombian emerald becomes a cherished and responsibly sourced centerpiece in your collection.
