5.26 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This C.Dunaigre certified, 5.26 carat emerald cut green emerald exemplifies rarity through weight and proportional craftsmanship. The measured dimensions are 10.93 x 9.66 x 7.85 millimeters, yielding a length to width ratio of approximately 1.13, and a depth that corresponds to roughly seventy six percent of the average face dimension. Those proportions indicate a moderately deep pavilion that enhances color saturation without sacrificing table brightness. The emerald cut displays precise parallel step facets on the crown and pavilion, with truncated corners that reduce stress concentrations and preserve clarity. The table facet is well centered and the facet junctions are sharp, reflecting the reported excellent polish. The combination of a substantial five point two six carat weight and those controlled proportions significantly elevates market value, as per carat prices for emeralds increase disproportionately with size when high color intensity and eye level clarity are present.

Color and clarity characteristics further amplify rarity and desirability, making this piece an exceptional offering from The Natural Emerald Company. The color intensity is vivid, with a saturated green that remains even across the table and along the step facets, indicating consistent internal hue distribution and minimal zoning. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for an emerald of this scale and origin is a strong performance. Enhancement is standard, disclosed and consistent with trade practice, improving stability while preserving optical depth. Colombian origin contributes provenance and typical chromium based hues that collectors seek. The C.Dunaigre certification provides independent confirmation of the weight, dimensions, clarity grade, and origin. For buyers who prioritize technical metrics, the 5.26 carat weight is a decisive factor because larger faceted emeralds with vivid color and very slightly included clarity are notably rare, commanding premium per carat values and offering both investment potential and aesthetic presence in fine jewelry settings.
