2.17 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

This 2.17 carat Colombian Muzo emerald offered by The Natural Emerald Company presents a technically refined asscher cut in an octagonal outline, with precise dimensions of 8.30 x 7.65 x 4.90 mm. The stone exhibits classic step faceting associated with the asscher style, with broad concentric crown and pavilion facets that produce a dramatic, mirror like flash and strong internal light return. Proportions deliver a face up presence that benefits from a depth of approximately 61 percent, maximizing visible surface area while preserving the integrity of the step facets. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, reflecting minor jardin characteristics typical of fine Colombian material, and the excellent polish and symmetry ensure crisp facet junctions and clean facet planes. Color is vivid in intensity, a saturated green with the subtle bluish tone prized from Muzo sources, offering uniform saturation across the table and minimal zoning. Enhancement is standard according to industry practice, and the combination of vivid saturation, high polish, and step cut geometry creates an elegant, stable visual platform for bespoke mounting.

For custom jewelry, this asscher octagon emerald is exceptionally well suited as a center stone in a wide range of settings, due to its near square footprint, generous table, and robust depth. The octagonal asscher profile is ideal for classic four or eight prong solitaires that emphasize the geometric lines, or for tailored bezel settings that protect the truncated corners while showcasing the step faceting. Designers will appreciate how the large table and broad steps allow for precision alignment in halo and three stone compositions, and the stone scales well for both ring and pendant applications where an authoritative face up size is desired. Craftsmanship considerations include selecting a setting that supports the pavilion to preserve the integrity of the standard enhancement, avoiding aggressive ultrasonic or steam cleaning, and employing skilled bezel or prong work to maintain even pressure at the girdle. For clients and designers seeking a statement center with provenance and technical refinement, this Muzo emerald combines measurable proportions, vivid color grade, and excellent polish, making it a prime candidate for bespoke creations, available through The Natural Emerald Company.
