Specifications
| Reference | JOH-02026-CD82 |
|---|---|
| Origin The 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. | Colombia |
| Weight The 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. | 1.35 ct |
| Color This 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. | Light green |
| Shape & cut The 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. | Emerald |
| Treatment Almost 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. | None |
| Comments | Natural stone, no solid resin treatment (perma) |

Description of the stone
If you like light, luminous greens, take a look at this one: 1.35 ct in an emerald cut, in a very transparent crystal that light passes straight through.
Its soft, slightly bluish shade in daylight reads better on video than in photos. No treatment: the stone has been neither oiled nor resined.

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.
