5.30 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This 5.30 carat, GRS certified Colombian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is an exceptional example of classic Colombian gemology, combining a vivid green color intensity with transparent body tone and excellent polish. Cut in a traditional emerald cut, its precise dimensions of 12.15 by 9.34 by 6.71 millimeters produce a balanced depth of approximately 62.5 percent, a proportion that yields an impressive face-up presence while allowing light to return evenly through the pavilion. The stone is graded slightly included at eye level, a clarity designation that is typical and expected for natural emeralds and that in this case confirms the gem is untreated beyond standard enhancement practices. Standard enhancement, commonly a stable oiling or similar routine filling, has been disclosed and documented by GRS, ensuring transparency regarding durability and appearance. The combination of vivid color, excellent polish and GRS documentation provides both visual impact and gemological assurance for an informed buyer.

For an educated purchaser seeking a true statement piece, the size and optical qualities of this emerald make it a standout option. At over five carats and with generous length and width, this stone commands attention when set as a single-stone ring, a bold pendant, or a bespoke cocktail design. The emerald cut emphasizes the gem’s color saturation and clarity planes, so even the slight inclusions remain part of the stone’s natural character without distracting from its rich green appeal. Practical considerations for setting include protective mounting options such as a low-profile bezel with an open gallery or a four- to six-prong setting that secures the corners and preserves the table view, while the excellent polish enhances wearability and longevity. Colombian emeralds with vivid color and strong transparency remain highly desirable in the market, and this GRS certified specimen from The Natural Emerald Company offers both the immediate visual drama of a statement jewel and the documented credibility valued by collectors and connoisseurs. Care recommendations include avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners and scheduling periodic professional inspections to maintain the beauty and integrity of the gem.
