2.23 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

This exceptional C.Dunaigre certified emerald arrives to you through The Natural Emerald Company as a rare and deliberate offering, a 2.23 carat Asscher cut, octagonal shaped gem that stands apart from the ordinary. It is transparent, vivid in color intensity, and comes from one of the most storied deposits in the world, Colombia, Muzo. The stone measures 8.51 by 7.63 by 5.00 millimeters, dimensions that give it a commanding presence while remaining perfectly suited to elegant, wearable designs. The clarity grade is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a typical and honest characteristic of natural emeralds that only deepens their authenticity and provenance. The polish is excellent, the enhancement is standard, and the certificate from C.Dunaigre confirms both the gemological details and the noble origin that collectors and connoisseurs prize.

Weight is the quiet language of rarity in colored gemstones, and at 2.23 carats this Muzo emerald speaks with authority. Emeralds increase in rarity much more rapidly with weight than many gem species, because the complex conditions required to form fine, large crystals are uncommon, especially in top producing mines. A 2.23 carat natural emerald that combines transparency, vivid saturation, and an Asscher cut is a singular find. The extra mass translates directly to greater depth of color and a more luxurious light return from the carefully faceted pavilion, so that every movement reveals new planes of green. Collectors understand that twice the carat weight can mean many times the rarity and value, and that is where this stone distinguishes itself, because it occupies a size category that allows for comfortable modern jewelry while preserving the scarcity that elevates market and emotional value.

The Asscher cut, with its stepped facets and cropped corners, is especially flattering to emerald color, because it emphasizes internal glow rather than superficial sparkle, and this is why the weight of this gem matters so much. At 8.51 by 7.63 by 5.00 millimeters the pavilion depth and table proportions are balanced to let the vivid green breathe, and the slightly included clarity becomes a character trait rather than a flaw, telling a story of natural formation in the famous Muzo belts. The excellent polish ensures that the stone presents a refined, mirror like finish along the facet planes, and the standard enhancement preserves translucency while stabilizing the gem for everyday wear. In practical terms, the 2.23 carat weight offers the ideal combination of visual impact and ease of design, enabling a master jeweler to set a luxurious solitaire, to frame the emerald with delicate melee diamonds, or to incorporate it into a bespoke mounting where the gem remains the unquestioned focal point.
