2.25 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

When you are searching for the perfect emerald for an engagement ring or a rare addition to a collector cabinet, you want a stone that brings instant certainty, lasting value, and an emotional connection. The Natural Emerald Company presents a beautiful transparent GIA certified 2.25 carat cushion shape green emerald that answers those needs precisely, a gem that speaks to both the eye and the heart. This emerald measures 8.23 by 8.16 by 5.89 mm, and it has a mixed brilliant cut that combines sparkle with the soft, sophisticated outline of the cushion shape. Its clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, offering clean visual appeal with the gentle natural character that collectors prize. The color intensity is intense, the polish is excellent, and the enhancement is standard, a customary, market accepted treatment that enhances transparency and longevity without masking the stone character. Origin is Colombia, a region synonymous with the finest emeralds in the world, and the GIA certification provides independent verification of the stone weight, measurements, clarity grade, origin, and its natural status.

You may have considered lab grown alternatives, and those stones have predictable clarity and uniformity, often at a lower price point, but a natural Colombian emerald offers advantages that reach beyond immediate cost. Natural emeralds are products of deep time, formed under unique geological circumstances that impart one of a kind internal landscapes, color zoning, and inclusions that act like fingerprints. Those features make every natural stone singular, a quality that resonates strongly for engagement pieces where symbolism and individuality matter. From an investment perspective, natural emeralds with documented origin and respected certification tend to maintain and often appreciate in value over decades, because supply of high quality natural material is finite and provenance becomes more important to discerning buyers. The standard enhancement on this emerald is fully disclosed and widely accepted by connoisseurs, and the GIA report confirms natural origin and treatment, removing uncertainty that can accompany uncertified stones. In contrast, lab grown emeralds may offer visual perfection, but they lack the geological history, rarity, and the same collector demand that sustains the market for natural stones, and they do not carry the same narratives of place and time that make a Colombian emerald special.

Choosing this GIA certified 2.25 carat Colombian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is a decision that balances beauty, provenance, and long term value, a choice that brings closure to a search for rarity and resonance. For an engagement ring this stone sits at an ideal size for both bold and classic settings, its mixed brilliant facets radiating fire while the cushion outline holds a romantic tone, and the intense green color will stand out against both white and yellow metal settings. Collectors will appreciate the documented origin, the excellent polish, and the clarity grade that allows the eye to engage with the stone without distraction, while the natural inclusions tell the story of formation. We invite you to view the GIA report that accompanies the gem, to discuss setting options that protect and showcase the stone, and to learn about our secure purchase and consignment services. At The Natural Emerald Company we specialize in pairing remarkable emeralds with their ideal owners, offering expertise on provenance, care, and valuation, so that this Colombian cushion emerald becomes not just a purchase, but a meaningful heirloom.
