8.20 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Colombia

Introducing a truly remarkable gem offered exclusively by The Natural Emerald Company, a translucent pear shaped Colombian emerald weighing 8.20 carats, with graceful dimensions of 18.40 by 8.20 by 13.10 millimeters. This gem is fashioned in a classic sugar loaf cut, which accentuates the deep verdant hue and brings a soft, rounded profile that reads beautifully in both vintage and contemporary settings. The color intensity is evaluated as dark, lending an intense, lush green that conveys depth and presence without overpowering the wearer. At eye level this emerald is graded very slightly included, a clarity that preserves a clean aesthetic while maintaining the character and natural origin of the stone. The polish is excellent, ensuring smooth reflective surfaces and a luminous finish, and the enhancement is standard, consistent with best practice for Colombian emeralds. For anyone seeking a centerpiece that blends natural beauty, substantial weight, and authentic provenance, this emerald represents a rare and sophisticated choice.

Viewed face up the sugar loaf pear silhouette offers a rich, velvety green that seems to emanate from within, a quality collectors and connoisseurs prize in Colombian material. The translucency allows internal light to glow through the body of the stone, creating a lively interplay between luster and color saturation, and the gentle dome of the sugar loaf provides a soft, elegant profile that looks captivating set as a pendant or as the focal point of a bespoke ring. The depth of color reads sumptuous under ambient light and becomes almost jewel like under brighter illumination, revealing subtle internal features that speak to the gem natural history and authenticity. Because the gem is pear shaped, it lends itself to designs that highlight its tapered top paired with a broader base, offering visual balance and a flattering elongation when worn. Whether chosen for a statement pendant, an heirloom ring, or a custom designed piece, this 8.20 carat pear emerald commands attention while retaining a wearable sophistication that transcends trends.

Clarity assessed at very slightly included at eye level means that the emerald presents with minimal eye visible inclusions, inclusions that do not detract from the overall beauty and that often serve as natural fingerprints of genuine Colombian origin. These slight internal characteristics can enhance light movement, and when combined with the excellent polish and the sugar loaf cut they contribute to a depth of color that feels alive and dynamic. The substantial measurements of 18.40 by 8.20 by 13.10 millimeters give the gem strong presence, making it an ideal candidate for a central stone in a ring where the elongated shape will flatter the finger, or in a statement pendant where the pear silhouette will draw the eye. Standard enhancement means the stone has been treated in a conventional, stable manner to improve clarity and stability, a common and accepted practice for emeralds that helps ensure the gem is both beautiful and suitable for regular wear, while preserving the integrity of the natural material. Our gem specialists at The Natural Emerald Company can advise on bezel or prong settings, protective gallery designs, and metal choices that best complement the deep green while offering secure mounting for everyday elegance.

Provenance matters greatly when selecting a fine emerald, and this gem originates from Colombia, a source renowned for producing some of the most desirable emeralds in the world. That origin informs not only color and clarity expectations, but also the intrinsic value and historical appeal of the stone. At The Natural Emerald Company we are committed to transparency, and we encourage potential owners to consider custom design opportunities that honor the gem story, such as settings that allow light to interact with the sugar loaf dome, or designs that incorporate accent stones to enhance the center emeralds color and presence. Care for this piece is straightforward, using gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, and storing separately to prevent abrasion. For those who value heritage, beauty, and responsible sourcing, this 8.20 carat pear shape Colombian emerald is a superb selection, combining a dramatic, dark color intensity with a polished, natural character that will make a memorable and enduring statement.
