2.72 Ct. Emerald from Russia

There are gemstones that whisper, and then there is this emerald that sings, a pear shaped song of green that seems to hold a forest of quiet promises within a single faceted breath. From the moment light meets its polished table, the gem unfolds like a memory, a tender recollection of first leaves after winter, of secret gardens and afternoons that spill golden into dusk. This is a transparent 2.72 carat pear shape green emerald, a size that already distinguishes it from the more common smaller stones, and it wears its 13.82 millimeter length with an elegant, elongated poise. When you imagine an engagement ring or a keepsake pendant that will be handed down like a story, you picture a center with presence, and this gem offers presence, spirit and a rare, intimate voice. At The Natural Emerald Company we cherish such stones for their ability to carry emotion, and this emerald arrives as a dependable companion to whatever vow, promise, or private celebration you choose to honor.

Measured precisely at 13.82 by 6.57 by 5.56 millimeters, the gem’s proportions are a studied harmony of length and depth, designed to flatter the hand and to catch light from every angle. It has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, a cutting style that allows the pear silhouette to retain its graceful outline while scattering light in lively reflections, a small constellation of flashes that animate the green within. The clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, an honest and authentic signature that speaks to natural formation, and in practical terms it offers a transparency that many collectors find more desirable than absolute perfection. The color carries a medium intensity, not strident, but full of life, a green that is fresh and green without veering toward overly dark tones, a balance that makes it versatile for jewelry and flattering against many skin tones. Its polish is excellent, a final caress that lets the facets sing, and its enhancement is standard, the customary treatment that conserves the gem’s integrity while improving its visual harmony, details we disclose transparently because provenance and process are part of the stone’s story. Origin matters to those who love character, and this emerald comes from Russia, an origin that renders its hue and inclusions somewhat rarer compared to many of the more commonly sourced stones, which further elevates its desirability for someone seeking distinction.

Rarity is often thought of in terms of color, but size can be a quieter, more profound form of scarcity, and here both aspects play together in a gentle duet. A pear shaped emerald approaching three carats is uncommon, and when paired with a medium intensity Russian green, the combination becomes exceptional among similar options. Many buyers will find that even when searching for larger stones, the exact marriage of this length, this clarity and this particular Russian tone is rarely encountered, and that scarcity transforms the gem from mere accessory into heirloom potential. The mixed brilliant cut enhances the stone’s natural life, the facets arranged to maximize both sparkle and the depth of green, and the excellent polish gives every facet a mirror finish that lets the gem converse with light rather than absorb it. Slight inclusions, visible at eye level, are not flaws to hide, they are topography, a map of the gem’s formation that affirms authenticity, that tells you this piece is of the earth and has carried time within it. For those who seek a green that is tender, fresh and distinctly Russian, this emerald stands apart from the more saturated, heavily included or decidedly small options that populate the market.

Imagine setting this pear shaped emerald in a delicate platinum halo, or letting it stand alone in a slender gold bezel, the teardrop silhouette pointing toward a future you choose to make together. The pear shape introduces an element of romantic asymmetry, a drop of green that elongates the finger and catches the eye with every gesture, while the mixed brilliant facets translate motion into luminous poetry. For an engagement ring, the 2.72 carat presence reads as confident and considered, not ostentatious, and for a pendant it becomes a private beacon that rests near the heart. The medium color intensity ensures the stone reads as alive yet refined, and the excellent polish gives the surface a soft, reflective glow that will pair beautifully with both warm and cool metals. At The Natural Emerald Company we advise settings that protect the tip of the pear shape, and we are glad to discuss design choices that honor the gem’s dimensions and clarity, choices that will keep its beauty vibrant for generations. The standard enhancement noted for this emerald is a responsible and common practice, and our commitment is to full disclosure and to helping you understand how to care for a treated stone, so it will return your tenderness in kind.

This emerald is a promise written in green, a rare dialect of beauty in both size and color, suited to the person who wants something intimate yet unmistakable. It is a stone that invites stories, whether whispered at an altar, spoken across a kitchen table, or carried close as a solitary reminder of a life event. If you are seeking a gemstone that balances honest natural character with an elegant presence, and if you appreciate the quieter form of rarity that arises when size and hue converge, this pear shaped Russian emerald will answer that calling. From the moment you first hold it, you will feel the thoughtful proportions, the lively mixed brilliant scintillation, the truthful clarity, and the smooth, excellent polish that together form a gem of restraint and radiance. We at The Natural Emerald Company are honored to present this emerald to you, and we are here to help you imagine its setting, to guide you through care, and to ensure that this green keeps speaking softly, beautifully, for many years to come.
