2.18 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent C.Dunaigre certified 2.18 carat oval emerald measures 9.67 by 7.91 by 5.48 millimeters, and it is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and depth. The gem displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, while its clarity is graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, offering the rare combination of strong saturation and accessible transparency. Compared to many marketplace alternatives that rely on heavy treatments or predictable, mass produced cuts, this stone stands out for its balance of natural character and visual impact. Lab grown stones can mimic color, but they lack the geological story and unique inclusions that authenticate a natural Colombian emerald, and lower grade natural pieces often sacrifice color for clarity or vice versa. This emerald preserves both, with standard enhancement disclosed, making it a superior choice for collectors seeking a genuine, wearable gem with lively presence.

For the conscious buyer, provenance matters as much as beauty, and this emerald comes from Colombia with documentation from C.Dunaigre to confirm origin and treatment, which enhances both ethical confidence and long term value. At The Natural Emerald Company we prioritize traceable sourcing and transparency, working directly with responsible partners to ensure conflict free procurement and support for local mining communities. Compared to stones of uncertain origin or those that have undergone extensive undisclosed treatments, this gem offers a clear chain of custody and honest disclosure, fitting seamlessly into a collection curated for sustainability and integrity. Its size and mixed brilliant cut make it an ideal focal stone for a ring or pendant, while its natural inclusions and vivid color serve as hallmarks of authenticity, ensuring that this emerald is not just a beautiful purchase, but a considered one for buyers who want their gemstones to reflect both aesthetic excellence and ethical values.
