Emeralds, with their captivating green hue, have been treasured across civilizations for over 4,000 years. Coveted for their rarity and lush color, which symbolizes renewal and life, these precious gemstones have consistently held a place of honor among the four classic precious gems, alongside diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.
The emerald described here is an exquisite gem, clearly defined by its significant weight of 11.16 carats, making it a remarkable treasure for a collector or someone seeking to make a statement with their jewelry. The stone features a classic emerald cut—a rectangular shape with stepped facets that maximize the stone's color and clarity—expertly executed to reveal the beauty and depth of the gem.
Measuring 13.73 x 12.41 x 9.34 mm, the emerald possesses a substantial size that provides a commanding presence, whether set in a ring, pendant, or brooch. The origin of this gem, Zambia, is notable as Zambian emeralds are highly prized for their deep green color and relatively high clarity compared to emeralds from other regions.
The term "slightly included" clarifies that while the emerald may have some natural inclusions, they are minimal and do not detract significantly from the overall visual appeal of the stone when it is observed with the naked eye. The vivid color intensity of this specimen indicates a rich, saturated green that is both rare and desirable in emeralds, further enhanced by the excellent polish, which ensures that the gemstone catches the light and sparkles with every movement.
For customers looking to invest in a timeless piece of natural artistry, this emerald offers the prestige and allure that only a gemstone of such caliber can provide. Whether intended as the centerpiece of an heirloom-quality piece of fine jewelry or as a standout addition to a collection, the combination of size, clarity, color, and origin makes this emerald a compelling choice for anyone wanting to celebrate life’s special moments with enduring elegance.
The allure of this magnificent green emerald goes beyond its physical attributes to fulfill the deep-seated human desire for beauty, rarity, and connection to nature's wonders. Indulging in this luxurious gemstone satisfies the quest for exclusivity and provides the proud owner with a symbol of status and sophistication.
