OriginThe country is established by the laboratory from the inclusions and the chemical composition of the stone. The exact mine is stated only when we can prove it: otherwise we write Colombia and nothing more.

WeightThe carat is a unit of mass, not of size: 1 ct equals 0.2 gram. Two stones of the same weight can look very different depending on their cut. Rely on the dimensions in millimeters just below.
1.75 ct
ColorThis is the first price criterion on an emerald. What is sought is a sustained green, neither too dark, which would deaden the stone, nor too light, which would strip it of presence. The video on the listing shows the real color, without retouching.
Medium green
Shape & cutThe emerald cut, rectangular with clipped corners, protects a fragile material and brings out depth of color rather than sparkle. Pear, cushion and oval serve the same ends with a different silhouette.

TreatmentAlmost every emerald on the market receives a filling in its open fissures, oil or resin. The laboratory measures two distinct things, the nature of the product used and the amount found. The value shown here is taken from the report, word for word.

Description of the stone
The elongated octagon, step cut, draws the light along the full length of the stone. Its pure, luminous green, saturated without ever turning dark, is the one you expect from fine Colombian stones.
Its treatment is minor oil, one of the low degrees on the laboratory scale (None, Insignificant, Minor, Moderate, Significant). The crystal is open and lively, crossed by fine feathers that do not get in the way of the eye.
An elongated shape that would suit a ring, set along the length of the finger. The photographs and the video show the exact stone you will receive, without retouching.
Your questions about this stone
Frequently asked questions
Is the color true to life?
Our photographs and our video show the exact stone, with no retouching at all. But the color of an emerald is never fixed: it changes with exposure to light. The same green will look deeper in daylight, warmer under a lamp, darker in shade. That is true of every emerald, not only ours.
This is why video remains the most faithful rendering: the stone moves, and you see it from several angles and under several angles of light, as if you were holding it. If you want to see it in other conditions, ask us for an extra video: we will film it and send it to you.
How do delivery and insurance work?
A secure handover comes first. Depending on your project, we hand the stone to you in person, anywhere in the world, or ship it by FedEx, within France or internationally, insured and signed for on delivery. It always travels with its certificate. Timing depends on the delivery method and, for a FedEx shipment, on the destination country.
