3.62 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent 3.62 carat Colombian emerald displays an oval outline measuring 10.86 by 10.77 by 5.88 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes face up brilliance and internal color delivery. The stone presents vivid color intensity with a saturated green hue and an excellent polish that enhances luster and light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, indicating minor internal features that do not detract from the gem when set, and the enhancement is standard, applied to improve stability and visual appeal in line with industry practice. The combination of weight, proportions, cut style, and Colombian origin yields a well balanced gem that reads larger on the finger and carries the characteristic depth of tone associated with fine Colombian material. The natural transparency and cut symmetry provide strong windowing control, allowing the gem to exhibit both vivid body color and scintillation from the mixed brilliant pavilion and crown facets.

For custom design pairing, this emerald performs exceptionally well with neutral white diamonds as accent stones, where small brilliant cut melee can form a halo or shoulder arrangement to increase perceived size and add contrast without competing with the primary hue. For a warmer presentation, narrow baguette diamonds or small mixed cut yellow sapphires can flank the center to introduce subtle warm contrast and enhance the green's richness, while cool toned blue sapphires can be used sparingly to create a refined tri color palette for a three stone composition. Metal choice will influence overall character, with platinum or 18 carat white gold producing a crisp, contemporary setting that emphasizes the stone color, and 18 carat yellow gold providing a classic, warm environment that deepens the surrounding tones. Given the gem dimensions and pavilion depth, bezel or partial bezel settings should be considered for everyday wear, while prong settings highlight the face up area and maximize light entry for formal pieces. The Natural Emerald Company can provide consultation on exact companion stone sizes, cut choices, and mounting proportions to ensure balanced optical performance and secure setting for this exceptional Colombian emerald.
