2.56 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the river cuttings and emerald rich soil of Colombia to the refined light of a jewelry display, this gemstone carries a tale that is both geological and human, a story we are proud to share at The Natural Emerald Company. Born deep within the earth where mineral rich fluids met precise temperatures and pressures over millennia, this emerald is a piece of that patient, natural history, preserved in a crystalline structure that refracts time as much as light. Colombian emeralds are celebrated across cultures for their lush, garden green hues, and for centuries they have been prized by civilizations who associated their color with renewal, fertility, and the heart of nature itself. Our relationship with the miners and cutters who bring these stones to life is one of respect and stewardship, and this particular gem reflects that careful chain of custody from the moment it was unearthed through the selection and cutting process that reveals its best qualities.

Measuring eight point two six by eight point one eight by five point five eight millimeters, and weighing two point five six carats, this transparent emerald cut green emerald presents an immediate balance of size and proportion that makes it versatile for a variety of designs. The classic emerald cut allows for broad, open facets that emphasize depth of color and clarity, and this stone displays a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are delicate and do not impede the gem s brilliance when set. The color is of intense color intensity, a saturated, vivid green that demands attention without overpowering a design, and the polish is excellent, giving each facet a mirror like finish that enhances luster and light return. The enhancement is standard, performed to the industry norms that improve durability and stability while preserving the gem s natural character, so you receive both beauty and reliability in every glance.

The crafting journey from rough to emerald cut is a careful choreography between science and artistry, and it is in this stage that the gem s potential is fully realized. Cutters trained in the tradition of both modern gemology and artisanal technique work to orient the stone so that the broad table and step facets of the emerald cut capture and distribute its intense green as a living, breathing color. The result is a stone that will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether mounted as a solitaire pendant that lets the light move through its depths, as the center of a three stone ring flanked by brilliant diamonds that contrast and amplify its hue, or as a halo piece that uses finely matched melee stones to frame its vibrant personality. The emerald cut also favors stability of wear because of its trimmed corners and balanced angles, and with an excellent polish the surfaces catch the light with a refined flash rather than a scattered sparkle, creating a sophisticated presence that reads as timeless and modern at once.

When you choose this Colombian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company, you are choosing a wearable narrative, a jewel that connects the wearer to the mineral wealth and cultural legacy of its birthplace.

Whether you are commissioning a bespoke engagement ring, selecting an heirloom pendant, or designing a statement piece that will be passed down through generations, this gem brings with it provenance, proportion, and personality. We stand behind the stone s origin and quality, and we welcome the opportunity to assist in choosing the mounting that will best showcase its clarity grade of very slightly included, its emerald cut form, its two point five six carat weight, and its excellent polish. At The Natural Emerald Company we believe a gemstone is not just an object, but a story to be worn, and this Colombian emerald is ready to begin the next chapter with you, a chapter where its vibrant color will stand out in any jewelry setting and become part of your own enduring story.
