A 4.89-carat Colombian emerald, cut in a stepped square with beveled corners—the centerpiece of this collection. Its intense, deep, and even green is characteristic of the finest Colombian emeralds: dense without ever fading, luminous without ever losing its luster.
At this size, a color like this is truly exceptional: the eye is drawn into a rich texture, barely veiled by a subtle garden-like pattern that attests to the crystal’s natural origin. Light oil treatment—a minimal enhancement for a stone of this caliber.

Raw stone
This crystal was purchased in person at the market in Muzo, in Boyacá. At this stage, nothing is certain: the light hints at its color and clarity, but only the cut will reveal the stone’s true potential. We selected it for the intensity of its green and the purity of its material—a rarity in a stone of this size.

Size
The crystal is sent to Bogotá, where it is entrusted to Christian, our gem cutter. He opts for a stepped cut with beveled edges: this cut best preserves the rough stone’s volume and allows light to flow through without dulling the color. Some material is always lost at this stage—that’s the price of a well-proportioned stone.
