19.36 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent 19.36 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald from Colombia is an exceptional offering from The Natural Emerald Company, and it stands apart from most stones on the market because of its rare combination of size, cut and clarity. At 16.43 x 16.36 x 11.96 mm the gem has substantial presence while retaining an elegant geometric profile, and the asscher cut delivers a modern step facet architecture that emphasizes depth and internal light play more effectively than a standard emerald cut. Compared with smaller commercial emeralds or heavily included material that lacks transparency, this stone shows medium color intensity that reads vivid without overpowering, and a clarity grade of slightly included evaluated at eye level that confirms natural origin and authenticity. The excellent polish amplifies crisp facet junctions and yields a sharp table reflection, making the stone read cleaner and brighter than many comparable pieces in similar weight ranges. Enhancement is standard, a typical market practice that preserves the stone while maintaining stability and beauty, and the Colombian provenance further enhances desirability versus stones from less prestigious sources.

For a custom jewelry commission this asscher octagon emerald pairs exceptionally well with classic white diamond accents or with colored gem contrasts depending on the intended style. For timeless luxury consider a platinum or white gold halo of ideal cut round brilliants and tapered baguette side stones, the bright white of the diamonds will frame the green and enhance perceived clarity, while baguettes will echo the step facets of the asscher cut for a cohesive architectural look. For a more fashion forward or vintage inspired design use rose gold and a halo of small champagne diamonds or yellow sapphires to warm the palette and accentuate the medium green tone without overpowering it. For dramatic color contrast consider small cornflower blue sapphires set into the shoulders, their cool blue will make the emerald appear greener and more saturated. Because of its 19.36 carat weight this emerald can also command a solitaire statement ring or a center in an articulated pendant, and skilled setting by our custom workshop will secure the stone while allowing light to enter the pavilion to maximize brilliance. The Natural Emerald Company recommends design options that protect the stone and highlight its unique combination of Colombian color, asscher geometry, and scale, creating a piece that is both a wise investment and an heirloom quality jewel.
