31.46 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This exceptional stone arrives as a transparent GUBELIN certified Colombian emerald weighing 31.46 carats, pear shaped with precise dimensions of 28.00 x 18.90 x 10.90 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fire and color, clarity graded as included when evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, with enhancement standard. From the outset this emerald stands apart from many market offerings because of its combination of large carat weight and true transparency, qualities that are very rare in similarly hued stones. While many emeralds on the market present deep but muddied tones or smaller sizes that limit their presence, this specimen projects a lively, saturated green that reads as regal in daylight and luminous under evening lighting. At The Natural Emerald Company we stress provenance and grade as the foundation of value, and a GUBELIN certificate for a 31.46 carat emerald immediately elevates this gem above uncertified or loosely documented stones that too often circulate in the trade.

The journey of this emerald from mine to market is a narrative of careful selection and respectful craft, beginning in Colombia where the deposit yielded a crystal with exceptional color potential. Miners who work with our partners extract material with minimal disturbance, prioritizing larger, cleaner crystals that can sustain a disciplined cut, and this rough was recognized early for its combination of weight and clarity. The cutter chose a pear shape and a mixed brilliant faceting pattern to preserve carat weight while optimizing light return and color saturation, a choice that distinguishes this gem from smaller, heavily recut stones that lose both weight and personality. The standard enhancement was applied and fully disclosed, following industry best practices to stabilize the stone and highlight its vivid tone, and subsequent polishing achieved an excellent finish that allows the depth and life of the green to shine through. Independent laboratory verification by GUBELIN then confirmed the stone as Colombian in origin and authenticated its natural status, a crucial step that many sellers omit, yet one that offers transparency and trust for collectors and designers alike.

When you consider alternatives in the market, the advantages of this emerald become immediately clear, both in intrinsic quality and purchase value. Many buyers see greener hues in smaller gems or darker in color in stones with poor transparency, and some high priced pieces command a premium based solely on color without backing from reputable labs. By contrast this 31.46 carat pear offers a rare equilibrium of vivid color intensity, meaningful size, and documented origin, attributes that together produce superior resale and bespoke jewelry potential. The included clarity is characteristic of natural Colombian material and contributes to the stone's individuality, offering internal character that refracts light in unique ways, unlike overly treated or synthetic stones that can lack the organic depth found here. The mixed brilliant cut retains a generous table and sculpted pavilion facets to create flash and scintillation, and the excellent polish ensures that the gem will sit beautifully in a high quality setting, whether as a statement ring, a pendant that commands its own light, or a bespoke high jewelry commission.

Choosing this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company means choosing a gem that has been evaluated against rigorous standards, certified by a world class laboratory, and presented with full disclosure about its enhancement and origin. Compared to many market options that sacrifice either size for clarity or color for transparency, this pear shaped Colombian emerald represents an uncommon blend of all three desirable traits, and it comes with the reassurance of ethical sourcing and expert cutting decisions that prioritize the stone's natural strengths. For collectors who value provenance and for designers who require a decisive focal point, this emerald delivers unmatched presence and versatility, and for discerning buyers seeking long term value the combination of GUBELIN certification, vivid color, and 31.46 carats is compelling.
