23.84 Ct. Emerald from Russia

From the frozen basalt veins of Russia to the careful hands in our workshop, this emerald began its journey as a trace of chlorophyll in the earth, a slow crystallization that captured light and time. Miners working known deposits followed centuries old veins, removing raw material column by column until this rough found its match in a cutter who saw not a stone, but a story. Semi translucent and naturally vivid, the rough promised a depth of green that only patient skill could release. The carving that now graces its surface evokes floral motifs that echo traditional Russian decorative arts, linking the gem to the place that birthed it, and reminding the wearer that each small inclusion is a fingerprint of geology, a memory of pressure and mineral dance deep below the surface.

At 23.84 carat, pear shape, with dimensions of 22.57 x 19.05 x 10.10 mm, this GIA certified emerald arrives to you as a finished jewel ready to inspire. The cut is a carving cut, executed to retain maximum weight and to celebrate the stone as an object of art, while the polish is excellent, allowing the intense color intensity to glow through the semi translucent body. Clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and those minor internal features add character rather than detract from the presence of the gem. Enhancement is standard, in keeping with trade practices and permanence, and the lab color classification Green reported by GIA confirms the purity of hue. The GIA certificate accompanies this emerald, providing an independent record of its origin, weight, measurements, and gemological properties, and giving you confidence in both value and authenticity.
