2.18 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent emerald weighs 2.18 carats, and presents an elegant oval silhouette with measurements of 9.83 by 8.02 by 5.59 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances table brilliance with pavilion depth. The stone exhibits an intense green color that is both vivid and well saturated, with an excellent polish that enhances light return and face up presence. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with natural internal features that are typical for emeralds and that do not detract from the gem symmetry or overall visual impact. Enhancement is standard, consistent with trade practice, and the origin is Colombia, a source known for classic, highly desirable emerald tones and depth of color. The combination of weight, cut, and finish produces a gem that reads as bright and lively without appearing overstated.

As an engagement gemstone this emerald offers an ideal balance of presence and practicality, with an oval form that visually elongates the finger and a carat weight that sits comfortably as a center stone in a variety of settings. The mixed brilliant cut provides a lively play of light while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet definition, which together communicate refinement and enduring appeal. Given the slightly included clarity and the standard enhancement, settings that offer protective engagement such as a low bezel, secure four prong with reinforced shoulders, or a halo design that reduces exposure to incidental contact are recommended. Emerald, as a beryl, has a Mohs hardness of approximately 7.5 to 8, and with routine care and a protective setting will perform well in daily wear. The Natural Emerald Company certifies the provenance and key parameters of this gem, and can provide additional documentation and guidance on mounting and care. For couples seeking a distinguished center stone that combines Colombian origin, intense green color, and precise cutting, this 2.18 carat oval emerald represents a considered and lasting choice for an engagement ring.
