3.45 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

At The Natural Emerald Company we present a rare and luminous treasure, a transparent cushion shape green emerald weighing 3.45 carat, a remarkable size for an emerald that balances presence with elegance. This gem measures 9.56 by 9.49 by 7.04 millimeters, a dimension that translates to a commanding yet refined footprint on the hand. Expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut and finished to an excellent polish, this emerald reveals a lively play of light across a medium intensity green that is neither timid nor overwhelming. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a condition that allows the stone to remain transparent and luminous, while the enhancement is standard, a widely accepted and carefully applied treatment that stabilizes and enhances the inherent beauty of the stone. Sourced from Colombia, the birthplace of the most storied emeralds in history, this gem carries provenance that speaks to both geological excellence and connoisseurship.

The significance of the 3.45 carat weight cannot be overstated, it is the dimension that elevates this emerald from a pretty accent to a statement of rarity and value. Carat weight in emeralds does more than quantify mass, it confers presence, it changes how light is absorbed and reflected, and it dramatically affects market scarcity. Emeralds of larger sizes that retain transparency and pleasing color become exponentially rarer, because the conditions of formation must align to produce a substantial crystal with minimal disruptive inclusions. A 3.45 carat Colombian emerald with transparent clarity and a mixed brilliant cut therefore occupies a privileged place among collectors and designers, commanding a premium that reflects not only the intrinsic material but also the rarity of finding such balanced attributes together. The cushion shape and the measured proportions of 9.56 by 9.49 by 7.04 millimeters maximize the visual surface, allowing the gem to wear larger than its weight alone might suggest, while the mixed brilliant faceting pattern creates scintillation that enhances color saturation and apparent size.

Beyond the statistics, the weight of this emerald is the axis around which aspiration and investment rotate, a tangible metric of distinction. At 3.45 carat the stone translates into an object that is both wearable and museum worthy, suitable as the centerpiece for a refined ring, a bespoke pendant, or an heirloom brooch that will be cherished across generations. The very slightly included clarity delivers character under magnification while preserving the open, crystalline transparency that collectors prize, and the excellent polish ensures each facet sings with light and life. Standard enhancement has been applied with care, a responsible practice that refines stability and appearance without compromising the gemological integrity of the stone. The Colombian origin adds historical and geographical provenance that resonates with connoisseurs who understand that terroir matters, that an emerald from Colombia carries with it a lineage of unparalleled color and a mystique that complements the stone s physical virtues.

To own this 3.45 carat cushion emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is to claim a piece of natural artistry that announces success and refined taste. It is an assertion that you prefer the rare and the authentic, that you value the subtle interplay of weight, color, clarity, and cut. Whether set in a minimalist platinum solitaire to emphasize the gem s luminous green, or embraced by a halo of diamonds to amplify brilliance and presence, this emerald promises to become a signature piece that reflects a discerning eye and a commitment to lasting beauty. We invite serious collectors and those who seek a singular expression of elegance to experience this gem in person, to appreciate how its weight translates into physical and emotional presence, and to consider the enduring value that a Colombian emerald of this caliber contributes to a curated collection.
