2.92 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

Emeralds have been treasured across civilizations for millennia, a green flame of the earth that carries stories of kings, poets, and voyages through time. From the gardens of ancient Egypt to the royal treasuries of Europe and the ceremonial regalia of the Americas, emeralds have been prized not only for their color, but for the way they seem to hold light within them. This tradition of reverence continues in the modern world, where a hand selected gem bridges heritage and contemporary elegance, becoming a living legacy that can be passed down through generations. At The Natural Emerald Company we honor that lineage by presenting specimens that speak to both history and enduring quality, stones that feel like heirlooms from the moment you behold them.

This example is a superb, transparent green emerald, weighing 2.92 carat, cut in a classic emerald cut shape with measured dimensions of 8.86 x 7.19 x 6.86 mm. The emerald cut emphasizes broad, open facets and a clean silhouette, creating a refined stage for the stone s vivid color intensity and excellent polish. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is classified as slightly included, a common and respected grade for natural emeralds which often contain the internal markings known as jardin. The enhancement is standard, a time honored and accepted treatment that improves the stone s stability and visual appeal without compromising its natural origin. Origin matters with emeralds, and this gem hails from Colombia, the region synonymous with some of the world s most treasured and historically significant emerald deposits.

What sets this stone apart is the way its crystalline structure and precise cutting conspire to produce a sparkle that is both subtle and absolutely captivating. Emeralds are a variety of beryl, a mineral with a hexagonal crystal system and refractive properties that allow color to saturate the viewer s gaze rather than simply reflecting light in a white flash. The emerald cut, with its broad rectangular facets and step cuts, creates a hall of mirrors effect where planes of vivid green shift and glow as the gem moves. The broad table of this 8.86 x 7.19 x 6.86 mm stone allows deep color saturation to be seen at a glance, while the carefully executed faceting and excellent polish let internal features interact with light, producing flashes of brilliance along the facet edges and a depth of color that seems to radiate from within. Slight inclusions serve to break and scatter light in a way that animates the stone, lending a living, breathing character to its sparkle that many collectors and connoisseurs prize above flawless sterility.

Beyond optical performance, the provenance and treatment of this emerald contribute to its place in a timeless jewelry setting. Colombian emeralds have always been associated with the richest, purest greens, and this stone carries that lineage while being responsibly presented by The Natural Emerald Company. The standard enhancement it has received is consistent with traditional practices used to fill minute surface-reaching fissures, improving transparency and visual continuity in a manner that respects the stone s natural qualities. For those seeking a center stone for a ring, pendant, or bespoke creation, this 2.92 carat emerald offers the rare combination of vivid color intensity, classic emerald cut geometry, and the lived in character of natural inclusions, all finished to an excellent polish that will hold light beautifully for years to come. Paired with a simple platinum or yellow gold mount, the gem s luminous green will read as antique and perennial, a modern jewel that evokes centuries of admiration and the quiet confidence of timeless design.
