5.49 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This C.Dunaigre certified 5.49 carat pear shape green emerald, presented by The Natural Emerald Company, is a precision faceted gem with dimensions 17.90 x 9.87 x 5.81 mm, executed in a mixed brilliant cut and finished to an excellent polish. The mixed brilliant faceting marries small brilliant facets on the crown with controlled pavilion faceting to enhance both scintillation and color saturation, creating lively return of light while preserving the stone's vivid color intensity. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, meaning inclusions are minimal and stable, consistent with high quality Colombian material, and readily camouflaged by thoughtful settings. The enhancement is standard, and the Colombian origin contributes to the stone's strong, pure green tone and balanced hue, attributes that the mixed brilliant architecture amplifies without sacrificing face up spread or brilliance.

This pear shape emerald adapts exceptionally well to a wide range of custom jewelry designs, and The Natural Emerald Company can advise on technical mounting choices that maximize beauty and durability. For rings, a tapered V prong or an inner bezel at the tip will protect the point and distribute stress away from natural inclusions, while a low profile gallery will showcase the table and encourage even light dispersion. Halo settings with calibrated melee diamonds or baguette shoulders will accentuate the vivid green and add perceived size, while three stone layouts allow for tapered or trapeze side gems that echo the pear silhouette. For pendants and drops, a secure cap setting or hidden peg can orient the stone vertically for optimal face up color, and paired earrings can be mirror matched for symmetry. For clients seeking contemporary styles, a half bezel with open back will preserve the standard enhancement, permitting light flow and potential future maintenance, whereas tension style mounts are generally discouraged for treated emeralds due to localized pressure at the girdle. Our bench can execute custom metal treatments, precise prong geometry, and bespoke settings that respect the stone's proportions and clarity characteristics, ensuring the 5.49 carat pear shape performs at its technical best while fitting seamlessly into heirloom, engagement, or high fashion designs.
