When considering an addition to a high-end gemstone collection, discerning collectors seek only the rarest, most exquisite pieces with a story as captivating as their sparkle. In the world of precious gems, where the earth's finest treasures are carved into captivating jewels, our 1.71 carat oval-shaped green emerald stands out as a truly remarkable choice. This emerald, available exclusively from The Natural Emerald Company, exemplifies the perfect harmony of natural beauty, craftsmanship, and provenance, designed to elevate any collection to unparalleled heights.

The gemstone's extraordinary transparency allows one to peer into its depths, where a world of vibrant green hues is delicately illuminated. Each facet of the emerald has been masterfully crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, ensuring that the stone captures light from every angle, releasing a dance of color that captivates the beholder. While the clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this characteristic merely enhances its authenticity and charisma without compromising the stone's inherent luminosity. Such natural inclusions are often cherished by collectors for affirming the gem's natural origins and rarity.

Compared to other emeralds on the market, this stone's medium color intensity sets a benchmark of purity and vivacity. While stones of deeper hues can sometimes appear dense and impenetrable, our gem maintains a balance that allows its brilliant green to shine through clearly and unmistakably. This vibrancy, achieved effortlessly yet unmistakably, ensures the emerald's lasting appeal, providing collectors with a piece as timeless as the earth from which it came. Coupled with an excellent polish, the gemstone harbors an almost liquid luster, an indelible mark of the painstaking craftsmanship offered by The Natural Emerald Company.

Originating from Zambia, one of the world's most esteemed sources for high-quality emeralds, this gemstone carries a legacy rooted in exceptional mineral formation and geographical wonder. Zambian emeralds are celebrated for their distinct transparency and robust color, often compared to Colombian counterparts. Yet, they bring a unique charm of their own. Our emerald flawlessly embodies these qualities, its provenance adding an element of rarity and prestige that is unmatched. For collectors seeking gems imbued with cultural and geographic significance, this Zambian emerald presents an irresistible story of origin.

Ultimately, selecting an emerald from The Natural Emerald Company means acquiring more than just a piece of geological beauty; it is an investment in a legacy of luxury and sophistication. As other gemstones might merely ornaments, this particular emerald represents a lineage of excellence and carefully curated beauty that speaks volumes both in solitude and as a part of a larger ensemble. For the discerning collector seeking the apex of gemstone grandeur, our oval-shaped green emerald is undeniably the choice that offers elegance unmatched by any other, imbuing its owner with a sense of rarity and esteem.

This custom made necklace setting is a study in refined restraint and luminous presence, a piece designed for those who understand that true elegance is measured in detail, rather than ostentation. Crafted to accommodate a choice of center stone in sapphire, ruby, emerald, or a bespoke gemstone of your own selection, the setting invites a singular focal point that speaks of legacy and personal narrative. The metal palette is equally considered, with options in fourteen karat rose gold, fourteen karat white gold, eighteen karat white gold, fourteen karat yellow gold, eighteen karat yellow gold, and platinum nine hundred and fifty. Each metal choice alters the personality of the piece, from the warm, intimate glow of rose gold, to the crisp, modern clarity of platinum, allowing the wearer to select a metal that reflects their style and status. Above all, this setting is about the celebration of a central jewel, elevated by a crown of smaller diamonds, set with the precision of a jeweler who sees light as the medium of true beauty.

The accent stones are arranged in an elegant, crown like formation above the circular center mount, where perfectly matched round diamonds sit like constellations framing the principal gem, enhancing its beauty and adding luminous complexity to the design. These smaller stones are not mere afterthoughts, they are compositional partners that orchestrate the gaze toward the heart of the necklace, creating a graduated shimmer that suggests movement even when still. The round shape of the side diamonds offers a classic return to the fundamentals of brilliance, each facet cut and positioned to catch and relay light into the center, while the careful spacing and prong work ensure that every diamond retains its individuality and maximum fire. In a world of fleeting trends, this accent stone style endures, a timeless halo that bestows additional sparkle without competing with the center stone, instead amplifying its color, depth, and perceived size in the most tasteful way.

Understanding how this setting maximizes light reflection is essential to appreciating its effect on wrist and neckline alike. The open circular gallery beneath the center stone allows light to enter from multiple angles, while the raised, crown like placement of the round accent diamonds creates reflective planes that redirect light back into the central gem. This architecture of light means that the center stone benefits from both direct illumination and a complex interplay of reflected highlights, increasing apparent brilliance and scintillation. The prong settings for the accent diamonds are minutely calibrated to minimize metal obstruction, preserving the maximum surface area of each stone to interact with light, while the choice of metal further influences the overall impression. White gold and platinum, with their cooler tones, enhance the perception of white light and fire, making diamonds appear more scintillant, whereas yellow and rose gold introduce a warmer backdrop that can enrich the hue of a ruby or emerald, giving the entire composition a more romantic glow. The final result is a necklace that reads as effortless luxury, an heirloom quality setting that elevates any chosen center gem, and a wearable trophy for those who appreciate the subtle language of exceptional jewelry.
