6.74 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Emerald Pair from Colombia

This pair of Colombian cushion shape emeralds presents an exacting combination of measured dimensions and refined faceting that will appeal to discerning buyers. The left stone is 3.28 carats with dimensions 9.53 x 9.46 x 6.62 mm, and the right stone is 3.46 carats with dimensions 9.55 x 9.48 x 7.04 mm. Both have been cut in a mixed brilliant configuration, with a brilliant style crown and a tailored pavilion that blends step and brilliant facet geometry to optimize color saturation and light return. The depth proportions are notable, with the first stone measuring approximately 69.7 percent relative to its average diameter, and the second stone measuring approximately 74.0 percent relative to its average diameter. These proportions create a face up presentation that concentrates the intense green hue across the table while retaining well controlled pavilion angles that reduce windowing and preserve face up weight.

Optical performance in this pair is governed by the mixed brilliant faceting, which produces a balanced pattern of scintillation and color zoning control. The crown facets disperse light into a lively array of bright and dark contrasts, while the pavilion facet architecture channels return light to the table, reinforcing the intense color intensity that characterizes these stones. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the clarity characteristics are fine and well distributed, allowing an open face up appearance with minimal distraction under normal viewing. The excellent polish is evident in the crisp facet junctions and clean facet planes, which maximize brilliance and make the emeralds responsive to both direct and diffuse lighting. Enhancement is standard, consistent with established treatment protocols for Colombian emeralds, and contributes to both clarity appearance and surface stability without detracting from the intrinsic color depth.

From a lapidary and setting perspective the near identical outline and matched optical properties make this pair exceptionally well suited for mirrored applications. The cushion outline with softly rounded corners and a slightly squared silhouette works elegantly in stud earring mounts, in paired side stones flanking a central gem, or as a twin pendant set. The close agreement in carat weight and dimensions means that a designer can expect symmetrical table size and pavilion behavior, which is critical for even light performance when the stones are set side by side. The mixed brilliant cut also affords versatility in mounting, because the pavilion geometry accepts a range of bezel and prong designs without significant risk of creating light leakage or pronounced windowing. For a jewelry house that values precision, the matched pair reduces the need for compensatory metalwork and allows the metalsmith to maintain a clean, minimal design language that showcases the stones core attributes.

Beyond the technical merits, matched gemstones carry a powerful emotional language that resonates with buyers seeking meaning as well as material excellence. Matched stones represent symmetry and reciprocity, two qualities that translate directly into narratives of partnership and continuity. When a pair of emeralds with such consistent color intensity and matched optical behavior is set into a piece of jewelry, the effect is one of mirrored significance. The wearer experiences not only aesthetic harmony but also a tactile reinforcement of shared moments, as each stone reflects the other in color and light. For a couple selecting earrings as a symbol of union, or for an individual commissioning a twin pendant to mark successive milestones, the matched pair serves as a durable emblem of alignment. The fact that these stones originate from Colombia adds provenance and geographic specificity to the story, linking the emotional resonance of the jewelry to a distinct mineralogical lineage.

At The Natural Emerald Company we emphasize both the measurable metrics and the intangible value that matched pairs convey. Our gemological review documents the carat weights, dimensions, cut style, clarity evaluation, color intensity, polish grade, enhancement status, and origin for each stone, allowing clients to make decisions grounded in data. We also advise on setting strategies that preserve the optical integrity of the stones and enhance their communicative potency as a pair. For care, we recommend routine gentle cleaning with mild soap and a soft brush, avoidance of heat and harsh chemicals, and periodic professional inspection of mounts to ensure that facet alignment and light performance remain optimal. This matched Colombian cushion pair offers both technical excellence and emotional resonance, making it an exceptional candidate for a design that aspires to be both precise and deeply meaningful.
