2.23 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This entry presents one transparent 2.23 carat pear shape green emerald, with dimensions of 11.85 x 7.42 x 5.55 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style and finished to an excellent polish. The stone exhibits vivid color intensity and a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the enhancement is standard. Origin is Colombia, and the pear outline and polished facets deliver a lively face up appearance while preserving the gem material. The proportions provide a balanced profile, with the measured depth contributing to both visual saturation and structural integrity.

The 2.23 carat weight is a primary determinant of this emeralds value and rarity, and it has a pronounced effect on market perception and price per carat. Emeralds at and above the two carat threshold become significantly less common in premium color ranges, and maintaining vivid green saturation at this weight increases rarity. Larger carat weight amplifies the importance of color distribution and clarity, because inclusions and color zoning have a proportionally greater impact on appearance in larger stones. In this example the slightly included clarity is offset by strong color intensity, and the mixed brilliant cut helps to mask some internal features while maximizing brilliancy. The standard enhancement, commonly involving oiling, is consistent with industry practice and preserves the gem while affecting valuation in a predictable and accepted manner.

Provenance from Colombian deposits further contributes to the gems standing among collectors and designers, because origin is often a consideration in valuation for stones of this quality and size. The combination of 2.23 carat weight, vivid color, and excellent polish makes this emerald well suited for statement rings or pendants where the weight translates directly into presence and perceived value.
