3.16 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the emerald bearing soils of Colombia to the workbench of The Natural Emerald Company, this 3.16 carat asscher octagon emerald carries a story that begins deep in the earth and ends in a refined jewel ready to become part of your next custom creation. Formed under unique geological conditions that give Colombian emeralds their famed tone, this stone shows a vivid green color intensity that seems to glow from within. The rough was selected for its pure chroma and crystalline clarity, and guided by experienced hands it was faceted into an asscher cut that enhances the gem with a geometric hall of mirrors. With dimensions 9.10 x 8.47 x 6.48 mm, an asscher cut profile, a clarity grade slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, this emerald balances presence and refinement. The gem has received standard enhancement to enhance stability and visual appeal, a common and accepted practice for emeralds, and the result is a transparent, lively stone that speaks to both nature and craftsmanship.

For bespoke jewelry designers and discerning customers this emerald is an exceptional candidate for custom work because its size and shape are highly adaptable and immediately wearable. The 9.10 x 8.47 mm footprint sits beautifully as a center stone in an engagement ring, lending itself to classic solitaire and modern halo designs, while the generous depth of 6.48 mm ensures a solid pavilion that delivers depth and life to the color. The asscher cut octagon shape offers crisp lines and facets that create dramatic light play in rings, pendants, and statement earrings, and the stone can be oriented for tall, elegant profiles or set horizontally for a contemporary look. The slight inclusions noted at eye level are characteristic of natural emeralds and add a fingerprint of origin that collectors and lovers of authentic gemstones appreciate. If you envision a piece that blends natural story and refined design, this Colombian asscher emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is an ideal centerpiece, ready to be shaped into a custom jewel that carries both provenance and personality.
