2.40 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

If you are searching for a singular emerald that will be the centerpiece of a custom engagement ring, a statement pendant, or a collector quality treasure, this gem answers that search with quiet authority. This transparent green emerald weighs 2.40 carats, cut in the classic emerald cut that emphasizes purity of color and architectural elegance, and measures 8.03 x 6.74 x 6.02 millimeters, proportions that translate to an ideal presence on the finger or as the focal point of any bespoke creation. Sourced from Colombia and presenting a vivid color intensity, this stone combines the storied origin collectors desire with the modern precision of excellent polish. The clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning that to the wearer and to observers the gem reads as clean and luminous, while retaining the natural character that defines genuine emeralds. Enhancement is standard, consistent with responsible trade practices, and The Natural Emerald Company stands behind the gem with the confidence we bring to every piece we select and present.

The emerald cut shape makes this stone especially well suited to custom jewelry, because the step facets and rectangular outline give designers a generous table and consistent light performance that plays beautifully with metal work. At 8.03 x 6.74 millimeters the gem occupies a graceful footprint that balances presence with wearability, making it perfect for a single stone solitaire ring that offers timeless elegance, a halo design that amplifies the green with fine white accents, or a bezel set for modern minimalism and everyday durability. The 6.02 millimeter depth supports strong color saturation while allowing skilled setters to create secure prong or bezel structures that protect the corners without choking the gem. For designers who want symmetry and clean lines, the emerald cut is a dream because it reads well in both classic and contemporary silhouettes, and because the step cut allows for creative plays with baguette or tapered side stones to create tapered shoulders, three stone compositions, or elaborate vintage inspired frames.

Collectors and clients who value both beauty and practical considerations will appreciate the clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level, because it strikes the rare balance between visual purity and natural authenticity. Many collectors specifically seek Colombian emeralds for their unmistakable hue, and this stone delivers that hue in vivid fashion, accentuated by an excellent polish that ensures each facet reflects light with clarity and depth. The standard enhancement treatment is industry common and stabilizes the gem while maintaining its natural character, and because the gem is essentially eye clean it will read as rich and vivid when set, whereas under a loupe its minor internal features tell the story of natural growth and origin. For jewelry meant to be worn daily, consider a protective setting such as a partial or full bezel, a low profile bar setting, or a halo frame that shelters the pavilion and edges while giving visual impact. For heirloom pieces and museum quality mounts, the emerald cut also pairs beautifully with pavé shoulders and milgrain detailing that highlight the stone without competing with its color.
