See this exact gemstone in compatible SARATTI settings.

This 2.21 CTS Natural Nigerian Emerald is distinguished by a particularly favourable GUILD treatment finding: “Indication of insignificant clarity enhancement.” This records only an insignificant degree of clarity enhancement, an exceptionally limited enhancement profile that deserves prominence when assessing the individual stone. GUILD identifies the gemstone as Natural Beryl, variety Natural Emerald, and records its colour as Green. In the supplied photographs, the stone presents a bright, cool-leaning green appearance, with strong colour activity concentrated around the outer facets and natural internal characteristics visible through the broader central field.

Its Cushion outline is close to square at 8.05 × 7.85 mm, with softly rounded corners that give the stone a balanced face-up presence. Rather than the linear steps of an Emerald Cut, GUILD records a Modified Brilliant cut. Angular perimeter facets create lively flashes around the border, while the larger central area returns light more softly and appears comparatively open. At 5.25 mm deep, the proportions provide useful physical presence without the unusually deep profile seen in some cushion-cut Emeralds.

At 2.21 CTS, the gemstone has sufficient scale to function confidently as a significant centre stone while remaining versatile for bespoke design. Its Nigerian origin, near-square Cushion geometry and exceptionally limited enhancement profile make it particularly suited to a purpose-designed solitaire, refined diamond surround, three-stone arrangement or pendant. It may be acquired loose or developed through SARATTI into an individually engineered jewel designed around its exact dimensions and natural character.

Characteristics
  • Indication of insignificant clarity enhancement — GUILD: The laboratory records only an insignificant degree of clarity enhancement, representing an exceptionally limited enhancement profile for this Natural Emerald.
  • Independent GUILD identification: GUILD identifies the gemstone as Natural Beryl, variety Natural Emerald.
  • Nigerian origin: Nigeria is supplied as the approved origin information for this individual gemstone.
  • 2.21 CTS weight: A substantial loose Emerald with strong potential as the focal stone of a bespoke fine-jewellery design.
  • Green colour: GUILD records the colour grade as Green; the supplied imagery shows a bright, cool-leaning face-up expression under the photographed lighting.
  • Near-square Cushion outline: Measurements of 8.05 × 7.85 mm create a balanced, softly rounded face-up shape.
  • Modified Brilliant cut: Angular brilliant-style facets create active flashes around the outer portion of the gemstone rather than the linear reflections of an Emerald Cut.
  • Considered proportions: Measures exactly 8.05 × 7.85 × 5.25 mm, combining a broad cushion face with moderate physical depth.
  • Natural internal character: Internal features remain visible in the supplied imagery and are described without assigning an unsupported clarity grade.
  • Significant centre-stone potential: Its proportions lend themselves to a solitaire, diamond surround, three-stone ring or individually developed pendant.
  • Emerald care: Emerald ranks 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale but commonly contains fissures, so protective setting design and careful handling are recommended.
  • Cleaning guidance: Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning. Gentle cleaning with warm, soapy water is recommended.
  • Independent certification: Accompanied by a GUILD Gemological Report and intended for SARATTI Gemstone Identification certification.

MAY BIRTHSTONE

Emerald is the traditional birthstone for May and is also associated with the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries. Its long history in fine jewellery makes it an established choice for milestone pieces as well as individually commissioned designs.

DESIGN INVITATION

The near-square Cushion outline offers a balanced foundation for a bespoke centre-stone design. Platinum or white gold could create a crisp contrast with the green body, while yellow gold would introduce a warmer frame around the gemstone.

A protective four-corner solitaire could keep the outline visually open, while a restrained diamond surround or three-stone composition could emphasise its 8.05 × 7.85 mm face-up dimensions. Its scale is equally suitable for a refined pendant where the Cushion form can remain clearly defined.

This Natural Emerald may be acquired loose or developed through SARATTI’s bespoke service into a setting engineered specifically around its dimensions, depth and natural internal characteristics.

Your gemstone is set into the design you choose. Every pairing is reviewed by a specialist before production begins.

HANDCRAFTED

The garden inside
decides how we hold it.

Every emerald carries fractures, and they decide where a claw can sit. So the setting is drawn around this stone's own map, and set cold. A ring for occasions, a pendant framed in diamonds, earrings matched over months.

Before you decide

Questions worth asking.

Is this the exact gemstone I will receive — and can I see more of it?

Yes. The gemstone shown on this page is the individual stone you are considering — not a representative image from a parcel.

We photograph and film the actual stone and do everything possible to show its color, proportions and character faithfully. Even so, gemstones can respond differently to daylight, warm interior light and different screens.

If you are uncertain, we can provide additional photographs or video and, where useful, reshoot the stone under different lighting or from another angle before you decide.

Can I confirm the gemstone is still available before I proceed?

Of course.

Send us the product link or reference and our concierge can confirm availability before you proceed.

For an important purchase, we would rather confirm first than have you make a decision around a stone that has already been spoken for.

How do I know which setting will suit this gemstone?

The builder presents settings intended to work with the gemstone you have selected.

Before production begins, the pairing is reviewed for proportion, security and suitability.

If we believe another setting, proportion or approach would serve the stone better, we will tell you before anything is made. The setting should serve the gemstone — not simply accommodate it.

What happens after I choose my gemstone and setting?

We confirm the important details with you before production begins.

That includes your gemstone, setting, metal, side stones where relevant, size, engraving and any personal details.

Nothing enters production until the final specification has been reviewed and approved.

Will I see the finished piece before it is sent?

Yes.

Once your piece is complete, it is photographed and filmed with your gemstone set into it.

Those images are sent to you before dispatch, so you can see the finished jewel before it leaves SARATTI.

How long will my piece take?

Made-to-order pieces generally require around three to four weeks from final approval to completion.

A loose gemstone purchased on its own can usually be prepared for dispatch much sooner.

If you are working towards a proposal, anniversary, birthday or travel date, tell us before ordering. We will let you know what is realistically possible rather than promise a date we cannot honour.

How will my order be delivered?

Your order is sent by insured courier with tracking and appropriate delivery security.

The route and carrier depend on destination and value.

Where duties or local taxes may apply, our concierge can explain the available delivery options before dispatch.

Can I return a loose gemstone?

A loose gemstone may be returned within fourteen days of delivery provided it remains unworn, unset and unaltered, with its packaging and documentation intact.

Please contact us before sending anything back so the return can be arranged securely.

What happens once the gemstone has been set?

A jewel created around your selected gemstone is made specifically for you.

Once the final specification has been approved and production has begun, the gemstone and materials are committed to your piece.

That is why we take time to confirm the details with you before making begins.

What if I am still unsure?

Then do not rush the decision.

We can help you compare this gemstone with another, look again at color or proportion, send additional imagery, discuss a setting or simply talk through what matters most to you.

The right stone should feel considered — not hurried.

What happens after I receive my piece?

Our relationship does not end at delivery.

SARATTI provides ongoing care for the jewelry we create, including inspection, cleaning and appropriate maintenance support as the piece is worn over time.

If anything ever concerns you, speak with us before attempting repair or alteration elsewhere.
