Emerald 1.62ct

Emerald – 1.62 Carats of Living Green

Few gemstones carry the cultural weight of emerald. Empires were built around it. Rulers coveted it. And centuries later, nothing has changed – because there is simply no green quite like emerald green.

At 1.62 carats and 7.57 x 5.71 x 4.81 mm, this stone has genuine presence. Set in a ring or worn as a pendant, it commands attention in the way only a fine coloured stone can – not through sparkle or spectacle, but through colour. Deep, saturated, alive. Emerald green sits in a category entirely its own: warmer than tsavorite, more complex than tourmaline, more intense than anything a laboratory could replicate.

The inclusions deserve a word of their own. In emerald, they always do. What gemologists call the jardin – French for garden – is the network of fractures, fluid inclusions and mineral traces that form inside every natural emerald during its extraordinary geological journey. These are not flaws. They are records. Each one documents conditions of heat and pressure that existed millions of years ago, deep within the earth. No two jardins are alike, which means no two emeralds are alike. For collectors and connoisseurs, this internal landscape is part of what makes a natural emerald irreplaceable.

The octagon cut – so closely associated with emeralds that it bears their name – is the ideal frame for a stone like this. Its stepped facets and clean geometry emphasise colour over brilliance, drawing the eye inward rather than scattering light outward. It is an honest cut for an honest stone: what you see is exactly what is there.
