5.46 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Colombia

This exceptional transparent 5.46 carat asscher octagon emerald presents itself with precise proportions and impressive presence. Measuring 10.85 by 10.63 by 6.60 mm, the gem exhibits a mixed cut that combines step facets with brilliant facets to maximize its internal glow, and its excellent polish ensures clean facet junctions and a refined finish. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is slightly included, which is characteristic of fine emeralds and contributes to the stone character without detracting from its overall transparency. The color is a vivid green that speaks directly to the gem quality and Colombian origin, and the enhancement is standard, consistent with responsible treatments used to stabilize and enhance the natural beauty of emeralds.

As a salesperson at The Natural Emerald Company I can say this stone is versatile and commanding, ideal for a center stone in a bespoke ring, a statement pendant, or an elegant cocktail piece where its color and cut can be appreciated from multiple angles. The mixed asscher octagon cut offers a classic architectural look with modern brilliance, making it especially appealing for collectors and clients seeking a balance between vintage appeal and everyday wearability. The size and depth allow jewelers to design settings that showcase the vivid color while protecting the slightly included clarity, for example a secure four or six prong setting, a bezel with light enhancing gallery work, or a halo that adds contrast and sparkle. Proper care is simple, use gentle cleaning with warm water and mild detergent, avoid high heat and harsh chemicals, and have professional checks when resetting or resizing to preserve the integrity of the stone. Provenance from Colombia adds provenance value and desirability, and we stand behind our sourcing and standards.
