This pear shape Colombian emerald presents a precise combination of scale, color, and craftsmanship that makes it particularly well suited for custom jewelry, it weighs 3.78 carats and measures 14.90 by 9.09 by 5.68 millimeters, the length to width ratio of approximately 1.64 falls squarely within the preferred range for an elegant pear silhouette, yielding a graceful drop that reads larger than its carat weight when set, the gem has been fashioned to a mixed brilliant cut, blending a faceted crown with a stepped or modified pavilion geometry to maximize both scintillation and depth of color, the clarity has been graded as very slightly included at eye level, the color intensity is vivid, and the polish is excellent, the origin is Colombia, and the stone has received a standard enhancement consistent with traditional emerald finishing protocols, The Natural Emerald Company is proud to present this example for designers and clients seeking a statement center stone with technical integrity.

From a cutting and facet engineering perspective, the mixed brilliant cut applied to this pear shape balances light return with color saturation, the crown facet arrangement disperses light into small, lively flashes while the pavilion design anchors the green saturation through controlled internal reflections, the cutter has prioritized a broad table and well proportioned crown angles to allow the vivid color to dominate while preserving face up brilliance, the excellent polish indicates fine lap work and careful final stropping, facets meet crisply with minimal surface abrasion, and the overall symmetry supports predictable girdle orientation for mounting, the pointed tip of the pear has been sculpted with care to reduce risk during setting, and the rounded base offers an ample facet canvas for depth and play of light, these attributes make the stone straightforward to design around, whether the mounting requires prongs, a bezel, or a partially closed basket to protect the vulnerable point.

Clarity and enhancement considerations are central to planning a bespoke setting, the very slightly included grade at eye level communicates that inclusions are present but not visually disruptive to the gem when viewed unaided, the internal characteristics are characteristic of natural Colombian emeralds, they contribute to the stone character while allowing the vivid green hue to remain uniform and compelling, the standard enhancement recorded for this stone is consistent with industry practice for emeralds, this treatment improves apparent clarity and stabilizes fragile planes without altering the intrinsic color origin, because the stone is transparent with vivid intensity, light transmits with strong internal scattering which enhances perceived saturation, the result is a lively, deep green that reads beautifully in hand and in photographs, the excellent polish and careful cut mitigate issues of light leakage, and the overall durability profile is appropriate for fine jewelry with normal wear precautions.

For custom jewelry applications the scale and shape of this emerald offer exceptional versatility and presence, the 14.90 by 9.09 millimeter pear sits comfortably as a central element in engagement rings, cocktail rings, and pendant pieces, the elongated pear silhouette naturally flatters finger proportions when positioned point toward or point away from the hand, designers can exploit the length to create a halo or split shank composition that amplifies the perceived size, alternatively a simple three prong or five prong head will showcase the gem while securing the tapered tip, for pendants the stone reads as a refined drop, and for bespoke earrings matched pairs can be cut from similar rough when symmetry is required, the mixed brilliant cutting style responds well to accent diamonds or small melee around the crown, the vivid color intensity carries through even under moderate accentation, and the stone photographs with saturated greens and lively internal glow, The Natural Emerald Company offers this pear shape Colombian emerald with full technical information to assist bench jewelers and designers in planning bezels, prongs, and profile builds, this gem is a refined choice for a custom commission where color, cut, and size must align with exacting design intent.
