3.29 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the moment you first see this Colombian green emerald you sense something that has endured through the ages, a gem that carries the weight of history and the quiet dignity of a classic jewel, presented to you by The Natural Emerald Company. This emerald is transparent, Other certified, and it embodies the lineage of the great emeralds of the New World, stones that have been prized by emperors and connoisseurs for centuries. At 3.29 carat this stone is substantial, a size that speaks to presence without vanishing into ostentation, a jewel that sits on the finger or in a pendant and declares a refined taste for tradition and authenticity. The emerald cut is a design steeped in the past, an elegant geometry that highlights depth of color and clarity, and in this gem the cut has been executed with an eye to classical proportion and balance.

The technical virtues of this gem confirm its premium status, beginning with its exact measurements of 9.33 x 8.18 x 5.76 mm, dimensions that translate into a confident face up presence and an ideal depth for light to interact with the vivid green within. The clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to natural formation and the kind of inclusions that tell a story rather than diminish value. The color intensity is vivid, a saturated green that evokes the lush valleys of Colombia, and the polish is excellent, permitting a bright, mirror like table and crisply defined step facets. Enhancement is standard, applied to preserve the integrity and stability of the stone in line with longstanding trade practices. The result is a gem that reads as immediate and alive, while adhering to the highest expectations of collectors and jewelers.

Beyond the numbers this emerald is an heirloom in the making, a piece that references the quiet geometry of historical cuts and the lush tropical origins that made emeralds a symbol of fortune and taste. The emerald cut itself traces roots to early cutting traditions, shaped to reveal the stone rather than to distract from it, and in this specimen the broad table and tapered step facets allow the vivid color to breathe and glow. At 3.29 carat the stone carries a presence that is both stately and wearable, suitable for a show stopping solitaire ring or as the serene centerpiece of an elegant necklace. The proportions give it a classic silhouette that will age with grace, a stone that will still feel relevant and treasured decades from now, a true bridge between past and present.

Provenance matters, and this gem’s Colombian origin adds an unmistakable layer of prestige, Colombia being the source of some of the most celebrated emeralds in history. The geological story of Colombian emeralds is a narrative of deep time and exceptional conditions, and owning a stone from that land is to partake in a lineage that spans cultures and centuries.
