2.24 Ct. Emerald from Brazil

From the heart of Brazil where emeralds form over millions of years under precise geological conditions, this gem began its life as a hidden promise in the earth, a vivid pulse of chromium and vanadium woven into layers of host rock. Local miners working with knowledge passed down through generations unearthed the rough stone with care, recognizing its deep potential, and sent it on a path from raw nature to refined beauty. At The Natural Emerald Company we honor that origin story, tracing the journey of each stone so the wearer knows not only what they carry, but where it came from. This particular emerald arrived graded and authenticated, a genuine chapter of the Brazilian landscape now captured in a single gem, ready to become part of a new story on a hand, a collar, or an heirloom setting.

Skilled lapidaries then took the Brazilian rough and revealed its best expression with an emerald cut that accentuates depth and clarity, shaping the stone into a perfect balance of proportion and brilliance. The finished gem is GIA certified, weighing 2.24 carat, and measuring 9.81 x 7.38 x 4.88 mm, with an emerald cut shape that flatters both modern and classical designs. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean and alive to the unaided eye while retaining the natural inclusions that certify its authenticity. The color reads as vivid intensity, a saturated green that is both lush and luminous, and the polish has been executed to an excellent standard, bringing forward crisp facet lines and lively reflections. Enhancement is standard, applied with techniques that improve clarity while preserving the natural character and integrity of the stone, and the GIA report accompanies the stone to provide certainty about its properties and provenance.

When you hold this emerald, you will notice how the emerald cut plays with light, creating a serene, almost architectural display of color that feels deep and enduring. The step facets create broad flashes of green, allowing the vivid hue to breathe and to reveal subtle shifts as it moves, while the very slightly included clarity keeps the stone honest, a fingerprint of the natural forces that formed it. Those tiny internal features are not flaws to hide, they are records of time and pressure, features collectors and connoisseurs admire because they confirm that no two natural emeralds are identical. At The Natural Emerald Company we believe that the tactile story of a natural stone enhances its emotional value, and our cutters take care to balance weight retention with optical performance, so this 2.24 carat emerald delivers presence and balance in both everyday wear and in formal pieces.

Compared with lab grown emeralds this natural Brazilian gem offers advantages that extend beyond appearance, though lab created stones do have their place for consistent color and budget considerations. A lab grown emerald can mimic the chemistry and structure of a natural stone, and it can be visually clean, but it lacks the geological biography that a natural emerald carries, the authentication of origin, and the market rarity that sustains long term value. Natural emeralds, especially those that are GIA certified, bring provenance and scarcity, qualities that matter to collectors, designers, and those purchasing a meaningful gift. The subtle inclusions, the specific hue of Brazilian green, and the history stamped into the stone connect wearer and gem in a way that a manufactured piece cannot fully reproduce. Additionally, natural stones often retain higher resale and sentimental value because they are finite and traceable. Choosing this GIA certified Brazilian emerald means choosing a gem with a known story, beautiful technical credentials, and a living connection to the earth, and at The Natural Emerald Company we are proud to present it accompanied by documentation and guidance to help you design a setting that honors its origin and ensures a lifetime of admiration.
