2.61 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Russia

There is a quiet kind of magic in green that feels older than language, a hush of forest and sea and midday light folded into one perfect heartbeat. Imagine that quiet condensed into a single stone, a transparent cushion of color that seems to breathe when you hold it, that catches a thought and holds it like a promise. At The Natural Emerald Company we cherish stones that tell stories, and this emerald speaks in the soft music of moss and new leaves. It is small enough to wear close to the skin, large enough to be noticed, and just the sort of gem that turns ordinary moments into an occasion. When you lift this emerald to the light, you will feel as if you have gathered a piece of a faraway green horizon, a private landscape for the hand that chooses it, an offering that whispers of devotion and lasting beauty.

The particulars of this jewel are as honest as they are alluring, measured with care and presented with the clarity you expect from a trusted source. This is a transparent emerald weighing 2.61 carat, shaped in a gentle cushion form with dimensions of 7.76 x 7.73 x 5.58 mm. The cut is a sugar loaf style, its domed facets giving the gem a soft, rounded presence that invites touch and lingers in the mind. Its clarity has been evaluated at eye level as included, which means the stone carries its natural story within, tiny inner gardens and veils that are part of its identity and charm. The color reads as medium intense in its green, a tone that balances vividness and subtlety, not screaming for attention but commanding it with quiet authority. The polish is excellent, a finish that allows the surface to breathe light and to reflect with a mirror like precision. Enhancement has been applied in the standard manner, an accepted practice that stabilizes and reveals the gem without obscuring its nature. The origin of this splendid emerald is Russia, a provenance that places it among the rarer voices of the earth and ties it to deep mineral stories written over eons.

To wear this emerald is to invite a gentle drama into everyday life. The sugar loaf cushion silhouette offers a soft geometry, its rounded crown catching folds of light like a small green moon, its table a stage for the inner world of crystal play. The inclusions are not faults to hide, they are fingerprints of time, feathered and fibrous threads that dance with the light and remind the wearer that beauty often arrives with history attached. In settings that cradle rather than crowd, this gem exudes romance, especially when set in warm metals that echo its green breath, or when embraced by a halo of smaller diamonds that lift its glow into a starry conversation. Because of its excellent polish, the surface reads clean and vital, and the medium intense color translates beautifully across a range of mounting styles, from the bold and modern to the quietly antique. The stone is an ideal candidate for an engagement piece that feels both intimate and noble, for a pendant that rests over the heart like a secret, or for a custom commission intended to become an heirloom and a daily companion.

At The Natural Emerald Company we handle each gem with the respect of keepers and the eye of craftsmen, and we stand ready to help you imagine how this emerald might live in your life. We can suggest settings that preserve the sugar loaf silhouette, counseling on bezel or partial bezel designs that protect while revealing, and we can coordinate matching accents to highlight the medium intense green without overwhelming the stone. We will also provide guidance on care, recommending gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrupt temperature changes, and storing the gem separately to honor its polish. If you seek provenance and a voice that matters, this Russian emerald brings character and a regional story that sets it apart.
