3.63 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

For centuries the emerald has been a symbol of enduring beauty and noble lineage, treasured by ancient civilizations and carried forward through generations as a gem of prosperity and renewal. This magnificent Colombian emerald offered by The Natural Emerald Company is a living piece of that history. We present a transparent 3.63 carat round emerald, measuring 10.13 by 10.05 by 6.53 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant fashion, with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. Its clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to its rarity among emeralds, and it bears a standard enhancement, a customary treatment that preserves and stabilizes the stone while maintaining its organic character. Sourced from Colombia, the birthplace of some of the most sought after emeralds in the world, this gem carries the legacy of centuries of admiration and the quiet prestige of origins that connoisseurs have revered since antiquity.

The secret of this emeralds unmatched sparkle lies in the marriage of its crystalline nature and the precision of its mixed brilliant cut. Emerald is a form of beryl, a hexagonal crystalline structure that guides light through a lattice in ways unique to its chemistry and internal arrangement. The mixed brilliant design amplifies those properties, pairing a brilliant crown that scatters light into scintillating flashes with step facets on the pavilion that create deep, mirrored reflections and color saturation. Every facet has been cut to exacting angles and finished with an excellent polish so that light enters through the table, reflects off the pavilion facets, and returns with lively scintillation and a focused play of color. Because this stone is transparent with only very slight inclusions at eye level, light travels within it with minimal obstruction, allowing the internal geometry to act like a refined light engine. The result is a dynamic brilliance, an inner fire and lively sparkle that is both immediate and enduring, qualities that truly set this emerald apart from other green gemstones.

Beyond its optical performance, this emerald carries the timeless grace of a classic round shape that suits both traditional and contemporary designs, making it an ideal centerpiece for an heirloom ring or an elegant pendant to be passed down through generations. The vivid green color intensity speaks to the depth of its Colombian origins, a hue that evokes the lush highland valleys where these gems form over vast spans of time. The stone responds to different settings with remarkable poise, appearing regal in a warm yellow gold mount and modern in a crisp white metal, while the mixed brilliant cut maintains brilliance from every angle. The standard enhancement applied to this gem is consistent with time honored practices that enhance clarity and stability without diminishing natural character, so the stone retains its authentic provenance and visual integrity. For those who value legacy and lineage, this emerald is not merely an accessory, it is a tangible link to the past and a luminous investment in the future.
