2.25 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

There is a particular kind of quiet that accompanies the discovery of a Colombian emerald, a hush that speaks of geological time and the hands that coax the stone out of the earth. This cushion shaped green emerald began its journey deep within the emerald bearing veins of Colombia, where pressure, time, and trace elements combined to yield intense green color. Miners who know the land by instinct and experience retrieved this crystal with care, and the rough was selected for its exceptional transparency and color concentration. From that first moment of discovery, The Natural Emerald Company treated this gemstone as a story to be honored, guiding it from rough to finished gem with an emphasis on preserving natural beauty. The result is a transparent 2.25 carat cushion shape green emerald with dimensions of 8.23 x 8.16 x 5.89 mm, a gem that carries the landscape and history of its origin in every facet.

The cutting and finishing of this stone were undertaken to respect both its origin and its potential for brilliance. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to balance brilliance and depth, allowing light to dance through the pavilion while maintaining the classic, pillowed silhouette of the cushion shape. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the inclusions do not interrupt the gaze, and they serve as natural fingerprints that confirm this emeralds authenticity. The color carries an intense color intensity, a saturated green that feels alive and pure, and the polish is excellent, each facet meeting another with precision and a reflective finish that amplifies color. Enhancement, none. No enhancement is a promise that the green you see is born of earth and not altered by treatment. Origin, Colombia. These objective details matter, they are the technical truths that underpin the emotional response you feel when you hold the gem, and they are the facts The Natural Emerald Company presents with pride.

When this emerald is set into jewelry, its intense green hue will interact with skin tones in luminous and varied ways. On fair skin, the vivid green will create a striking, elegant contrast, where the gemstone reads as vibrant and fresh, lifting the complexion and offering a jewel like cameo at the hand or neck. For warm undertones and golden complexions, the emerald will harmonize, the green appearing softer and more verdant, pairing beautifully with yellow gold settings that enhance the warm glow of the wearer. On olive skin, where subtle green and brown undertones already exist, this emerald will sing, it will echo the natural tones and appear as a seamless, organic extension of the wearer, with rose gold or mixed metal settings adding a modern, flattering warmth. On deeper skin tones the intense green will glow with dramatic brilliance, standing out in high contrast while also appearing richly integrated, and for these complexions both white metals and yellow gold offer complementary looks depending on whether one prefers a cool modern statement or a classical, warm radiance. For anyone seeking a more understated presentation, a bezel setting will soften the edges of the stone and create a continuous reflective surface that makes the green read as luminous and contained, while a prong solitaire will allow light to saturate the stone and maximize sparkle.

The cultural lineage of Colombian emeralds is long and storied, and this gem carries that legacy into a contemporary setting. In many cultures emeralds are associated with renewal, wisdom, and fidelity, and to wear a natural, unenhanced Colombian stone is to participate in that lineage. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut make this emerald versatile for bespoke design, whether set as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, the heart of a pendant, or the focal point of a cocktail ring. Paired with a delicate halo of small diamonds, the intense green will be given a luminous frame that enlarges its perceived size and increases scintillation, ideal for anyone who wants the green to read as both regal and approachable. Left as a clean solitaire in a slim band, it will offer quiet elegance and a modern silhouette. The Natural Emerald Company can advise on metal choice and setting style to suit each wearer, ensuring that the final piece reflects personal style while respecting the gem’s origin and natural character.
