17.67 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Colombia

Introducing a superb Colombian emerald offered by The Natural Emerald Company, a transparent 17.67 carat oval stone with exact dimensions of 17.82 x 14.76 x 9.97 mm, expertly fashioned into a smooth cabochon cut. This gem displays a vivid color intensity that immediately captures the eye, while the excellent polish gives the surface a mirror like gleam that enhances light reflection and overall presence. At The Natural Emerald Company we take pride in sourcing emeralds that balance size and beauty, and a 17.67 carat stone in this profile is rare and desirable for collectors and designers alike. The cabochon shape emphasizes the stone body color and internal character, making it ideal for a striking bezel setting, a classic signet style, or a bespoke pendant where the stone can be showcased as a singular statement. With a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the inclusions are present but not distracting, they add to the natural story of the gem while preserving transparency and brilliance.

This emerald originates from Colombia, a source renowned for producing the most sought after green tones, and the stone exhibits a vivid hue that is both deep and lively. The color sits in a sweet spot where saturation remains strong without becoming too dark, and the cabochon cut enhances the apparent color depth by presenting a rounded surface that floods the eye with the gem body color. Because this is a cabochon the stone conveys a gentle play of light across the dome, the excellent polish allows highlights to sparkle while the transparency keeps the interior luminous. The clarity grade is slightly included when examined at eye level, and those inclusions are typical of natural emerald formation, they can appear as wisps and tiny natural features that confirm authenticity rather than diminish value. With dimensions of 17.82 x 14.76 x 9.97 mm the gem lays beautifully in substantial jewelry, and at 17.67 carats the scale is impressive while still offering comfort for wearable designs. Consider a halo of small diamonds to frame and elevate the green, or a warm yellow metal to enhance the stone warmth, both approaches create striking contrasts.

The listing specifies enhancement as standard, a disclosure that indicates the emerald has undergone a routine clarity treatment common to Colombian stones, this treatment improves the visual appearance by reducing the visibility of fissures and enhancing clarity while preserving the gem integrity. Standard enhancement is an accepted practice in the trade, and responsible sellers will fully disclose it, at The Natural Emerald Company we always provide transparent information and documentation about any enhancement performed. For many clients the enhancement is an advantage because it allows the stone to show its vivid color more clearly, however buyers should be aware that certain chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat can affect treated emeralds, for this reason we recommend professional setting and careful maintenance. The size and cabochon shape lend themselves to secure designs, a protective bezel or a high gallery setting will shield the dome, while a pendant or brooch reduces daily wear risk compared to a ring. This emerald makes a compelling choice for collectors seeking a substantial Colombian stone, and for designers wanting a focal gem that combines color intensity with natural character.
