1.06 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Imagine lifting a treasure of living green into the light, a cushion shaped emerald that seems to breathe with color and calm, a gem that will make ordinary moments feel like celebrations. This is a transparent 1.06 carat cushion shape green emerald, precisely measured at 7.20 x 5.68 x 4.22 mm, cut with a mixed brilliant design that captures and returns light with a lively, modern scintillation. Its vivid color intensity is the first thing that will arrest your attention, a saturated green that speaks of rain fed valleys and rich earth, a tone deep enough to be regal and bright enough to be utterly joyful. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a level that allows the stone to retain exceptional transparency and character, while the excellent polish magnifies its inner life and gives each facet a crisp, luminous finish. Enhancement is standard, treated in a manner that is commonplace among fine emeralds, carried out to preserve and enhance the natural beauty without compromising the integrity of the stone. Origin is Zambia, a source known for producing pure, vivid emeralds with a contemporary edge, and this gem carries that provenance with pride and authenticity.
