1.06 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This extraordinary transparent 1.06 carat cushion shape green emerald measures 6.83 by 6.82 by 3.31 mm, and presents a mixed brilliant cut that marries classic cushion proportions with scintillating brilliance. Its clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a hallmark of natural character that allows the stone to remain distinctly transparent while retaining a sense of geological provenance. The color is intense, a lush and saturated green that remains evenly distributed across the pavilion and table, and the polish is excellent, permitting light to dance cleanly across each facet. The enhancement is standard, and the origin is Zambia, a source known for producing some of the finest emeralds in the world. This gem is a singular specimen whose proportions and finishing make it ideal for an heirloom quality piece.

The emeralds vivid hue is the defining feature, a vibrant green that commands attention and complements every metal choice from cool platinum to warm eighteen karat yellow gold. Set as a solitaire ring, it will read as a bold, contemporary statement, while paired with a delicate halo the intense color will be intensified, appearing to glow from within. In a pendant, the stone will catch ambient light and draw the eye to the neckline, and in custom bespoke creations the mixed brilliant cut will provide a modern sparkle that dances differently than traditional step cut emeralds. Because of its excellent polish and balanced proportions, this cushion will sit beautifully in bezel, prong, or tension settings, and will translate equally well into masculine cuff studs or graceful drop earrings. Its transparency gives a clarity of color that will remain legible in salon lights and sunlight alike, ensuring the stone never blends into the background.
