Description

This exceptional pair of natural Colombian emeralds weighs 3.95 and 3.93 carats, for a combined total of 7.88 carats. Measuring 9.86 × 9.04 × 7.05 mm and 9.85 × 9.11 × 6.89 mm respectively, the two stones are closely matched in weight and proportions.

Both emeralds display a pronounced “Gota de Aceite” effect, a rare optical phenomenon that gives the stones a distinctive soft, velvety appearance. Long associated with some of Colombia’s finest emeralds, this characteristic is highly prized by collectors. Finding two closely matched stones exhibiting such a pronounced effect makes this pair particularly remarkable.

Both emeralds have been examined by Gübelin Gem Lab, with gemological reports featuring special comments and inclusion cards documenting the Gota de Aceite effect in each stone.

The emeralds have undergone minor clarity enhancement, a traditional treatment commonly encountered in natural Colombian emeralds.

Offered as a matched pair, these exceptional stones are particularly suited to a private collection or the creation of a bespoke high jewelry piece.

Colombian Emeralds

A remarkable
origin.

Colombian emeralds have been prized for centuries for their distinctive color and character. Formed within the unique geological environment of Colombia’s Eastern Cordillera, each stone presents an individual combination of color, crystal and inclusions.

At Alpine Green, every emerald is considered individually, with particular attention given to its origin, treatment, proportions and overall presence.

The Alpine Green Selection

Selected beyond
the certificate.

A laboratory report provides essential gemological information. Selecting an exceptional emerald requires something more: understanding how color, crystal, proportions, treatment and character come together in the stone itself.

Our Approach

Alpine Green specializes in Colombian emeralds selected individually for their overall quality and presence. Each stone is considered within the context of its origin, treatment and gemological characteristics.

For important emeralds, appropriate independent laboratory documentation provides additional context to the expertise and direct examination behind the selection.
