2.17 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This 2.17 carat emerald presents a refined combination of weight, proportions, and optical presence, suitable for a discerning and conscious collector. The stone is fashioned in an emerald cut, with precise dimensions of 10.13 x 6.87 x 4.87 mm, providing a classic rectangular silhouette with step facets that emphasize depth and color saturation. The material is transparent, exhibiting vivid green color intensity and an excellent polish that delivers a clean, even table and well defined facet planes. The clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which reflects natural internal features that are consistent with Colombian emeralds and contribute to the stone character without detracting from its overall visual appeal. Enhancement is described as standard, an industry accepted treatment commonly performed to improve clarity and surface condition, and disclosed here in the interest of full transparency.

Optically, the emerald cut enhances the stone’s vivid green by creating broad, flat facets that allow color to read consistently across the table while producing subtle depth from the pavilion. The proportions recorded in millimeters support a balanced face up appearance, making the gem suitable for both solitaire and halo settings where the cut can be showcased. The excellent polish contributes to a crisp light return and a smooth facet junction that aids in the perception of clarity, even where slight inclusions are present. The combination of transparent body, vivid color, and careful cutting produces a gem that performs well under natural and artificial light, offering stable saturation and an elegant, timeless presence on the hand.
