2.73 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This 2.73 carat Colombian emerald presents as a cushion shape measuring 9.71 by 7.65 by 5.76 millimeters, a proportion set that yields an approximate depth percentage of 59 percent, a geometry that supports both color saturation and controlled light return. The cutter has employed a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, combining a brilliant-style crown with more open pavilion geometry to maximize scintillation while maintaining a broad face-up color. The medium color intensity is a pure, well-distributed green with lively transmission through the pavilion facets, and the slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, reflects characteristic natural fissures and crystal inclusions typical of fine Colombian material. These inclusions are modest and strategically situated, allowing the stone to read as transparent in most lighting, while the excellent polish produces crisp facet junctions and a glassy luster that accentuates the emerald’s internal vitality and makes the table and crown facets interact cleanly with directional light.

From an ethical and practical standpoint this emerald fits the conscious collector’s requirements. Origin certified as Colombia, the gem was sourced through traceable channels vetted under The Natural Emerald Company responsible sourcing protocols, which prioritize documented chain of custody, fair labor practices, and minimal environmental disturbance at the mine and cutting stages. Enhancement is listed as standard, the conventional clarity treatment commonly applied to natural emeralds to improve apparent clarity while preserving original material; buyers should understand this is industry-standard practice rather than a stabilizing alteration that compromises authenticity. For long-term care and to honor the gem’s provenance we recommend settings that protect the girdle and pavilion, for example a low bezel or protective prong work, and routine inspection to monitor any clarity treatment condition; avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaning and aggressive solvents which can affect treated fissures. This emerald is presented as a technically honest example of Colombian material, blending balanced proportions, a thoughtful mixed brilliant cut to optimize both color and brilliance, transparent eye-appeal despite natural inclusions, and ethical procurement under The Natural Emerald Company stewardship, making it a considered addition to a curated, conscious jewelry collection.
