0.47 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Zambia

This emerald embodies a lineage that reaches back to the earliest treasures hoarded by monarchs and pilgrims, a stone whose deep green has long been a symbol of renewal, prestige, and enduring taste, offered now by The Natural Emerald Company. This piece is a translucent 0.47 carat oval emerald, with precise dimensions of 5.21 x 4.07 x 2.80 mm, fashioned as a cabochon to honor the classic forms that have been prized for centuries. Its intense color intensity and excellent polish allow it to radiate a rich verdant glow, while its slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, speaks to the natural birth and authenticity of the gem, rather than the synthetic perfection of modern imitation. Originating from Zambia and treated with standard enhancement, this emerald carries the geological story of African deposits, a heritage that connects every setting to the earth and to generations of artisans who have refined raw beauty into wearable legacy.

In any jewelry setting this stone will assert itself with quiet authority, its vibrant green commanding attention even at a modest 0.47 carat size, because color and presence matter more than sheer scale. The smooth domed surface of the cabochon concentrates light into a soft internal glow, making it especially striking in classic bezel mounts, vintage inspired bezels, and minimalist gold or platinum settings that let the color speak for itself. When paired with warm yellow gold the green becomes luminous and luminous, when set in white metal it offers a dramatic contrast that elevates both the gem and its mount. Natural inclusions add character and depth, telling a story that no lab created stone can replicate, and the excellent polish ensures a tactile and visual finish worthy of heirloom pieces. For collectors and designers seeking a gem that blends history, authenticity, and unmistakable color, this Zambian cabochon is a perfect choice, and The Natural Emerald Company is ready to assist with setting recommendations and bespoke commissions, ensuring the stone shines in a design that will be cherished across generations.
