Taking pictures of this beautiful emerald was quite challenging, It took me a few rounds to attempt to capture its beautiful deep green…, a unique depth of color that usually points to old-mine brazilian emeralds
This emerald contains a darker bodied, deep color that showcases its pure green in most natural lightings. The pictures we represent here were captured in natural outdoor lighting.
Deep within its beautiful transparent water, we are able to see some of its natural jardin inclusions mimicking appearances we experience when looking deep in green water lakes. A pure optical delight with some eye visible flowing from side to side inclusions.
Estimated to have been shaped and polished around the early 1900’s, one cant help but sense the Art-Deco geometry possessing two step-facet rows and a smaller third facet break creating a higher than usual crown surrounding a small table, a signature characteristic portraying this very special era. Even though crafted about a century ago, its old craftsmanship, although a bit wobbly, is superb and evidence to the importance of the lapidarist craft.
Although never set in a jewel this emerald possesses a very fine patina which adds an old world allure and character which further confirms its unique old-cut status.
Available loose or as a bespoke experience.
