2.56 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

Owning an emerald of this caliber is an invitation into a world reserved for those who understand the rare and the refined, and The Natural Emerald Company is proud to present a masterpiece that embodies that world. This is a transparent C.Dunaigre certified emerald, weighing 2.56 carat, fashioned in an asscher octagon shape, and sourced from the storied mines of Colombia. From the moment you lift it to the light, its vivid green announces itself with quiet confidence, a color so pure and so saturated that it feels as though a piece of the Colombian landscape has been set aside for your private enjoyment. Each facet has been executed with care, the polish is excellent, and the presence of very slight inclusions, as evaluated at eye level, confirms the gem is natural and unforced, a living stone rather than a laboratory mimic. This is not a common offering, this is a singular opportunity to claim a jewel whose provenance is documented, whose pedigree is undeniable, and whose appearance is unmistakable.

The asscher cut, with its precise step facets and symmetrical octagon outline, is a study in restrained magnificence. Measuring 8.26 by 8.18 by 5.58 mm, this gem balances face up surface and depth in perfect measure, delivering an energetic play of light without sacrificing the deep, enveloping green that collectors prize. The asscher form gives the stone a hall of mirrors effect, each plane reflecting the color in geometric harmony, and the excellent polish ensures every plane returns light with clarity and sophistication. The clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means that to the wearer the stone reads as elegantly transparent, while to the connoisseur the natural internal features authenticate its origin and character. Enhancement in this piece is standard, a traditional and accepted practice in emerald care that enhances the stone without diminishing its natural soul. The result is a gem that sits majestically on the hand, commanding attention without ever appearing ostentatious.

What makes a true heirloom is not simply its initial impact, but its capacity to continue to captivate through changing seasons of life and style, and this emerald is built to do just that. The vivid color intensity will remain a defining signature, a color that interacts with sunlight and candlelight, creating a living dialogue that is never the same twice. With proper care, mindful wear, and occasional professional attention to its enhancement treatment as recommended by gemologists, this emerald will continue to reveal subtleties and depths that reward repeated inspection. Over time, its story becomes layered, each memory of a special evening or milestone celebration refracting through its facets, enhancing your personal history as much as the stone enhances your presence. Because it is natural, because it is Colombian in origin, because it carries a respected C.Dunaigre certificate, it is an investment in beauty, in rarity, and in legacy.
