1.07 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

When you are searching for an emerald that ends your quest for beauty and reliability, this transparent 1.07 carat emerald cut gem from The Natural Emerald Company answers that call. Its dimensions of 7.91 x 6.05 x 3.03 mm give it classic emerald cut proportions that flatter a variety of settings, from a timeless solitaire to a three stone ring that highlights side diamonds or sapphires. The gem exhibits a medium intense color intensity that reads as a pure, vibrant green with a slightly cool leaning, it is transparent with a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and it has an excellent polish that maximizes light return across the table and step facets. Enhancement is standard, a well understood and commonly accepted practice that stabilizes and improves the stone while preserving its natural character. As stewards of fine gems, The Natural Emerald Company presents this stone as an immediate solution for anyone seeking a wearable, visually engaging emerald with proven provenance from Zambia.

Beyond raw specifications, this emerald cut stone performs like a confident, composed centerpiece. The step cut creates broad, luminous planes that emphasize color over flash, allowing the gem to display even saturation and depth across its surface. The medium intense color is balanced and versatile, strong enough to read vividly in daylight yet refined enough to complement precious metals and accent stones without overpowering them. The slightly included clarity grade provides the telltale internal fingerprint of a natural emerald, inclusions that are visible to the trained eye but do not detract from the gem’s overall appeal, and in many designs they add character and authenticity. The excellent polish ensures the facets sit crisp and smooth, so the emerald captures and releases light with a calm brilliance that suits engagement jewelry as well as collector pieces seeking a classic emerald expression.

Comparing hue and tone to emeralds from other famous locations clarifies what makes this Zambian gem a distinctive choice. Colombian emeralds are often celebrated for a pure, warm green with a velvety saturation that can appear almost lush, they frequently show a brighter, slightly warmer tone that seems to glow from within. By contrast this Zambian emerald leans a touch cooler, with a bluish green undertone that creates a fresh, vivid presence, and the medium intense saturation gives it vibrancy without the very deep darkness some collectors seek. Brazilian emeralds tend to present a lighter, sometimes more yellowish green, which reads as lively and sunny but can lack the cool depth seen here. Ethiopian and other new locality stones can show a vivid lime to grass green, which can be energetic and modern, while Russian and other older deposits sometimes lean darker or more olive. Placing this Zambian stone beside examples from Colombia and Brazil makes its distinct personality clear, it carries the cool clarity and vigorous mid tone that many buyers favor for settings that emphasize timeless elegance.

For the customer seeking the perfect engagement ring centerpiece or a rare addition for a connoisseur collection, this emerald delivers the balance of beauty, practicality, and provenance you want. Its 1.07 carat size and emerald cut proportions make it ideal for settings that require symmetry and clean lines, the medium intense green offers broad design compatibility, and the slightly included clarity speaks to its natural origin while remaining visually pleasing. At The Natural Emerald Company we can advise on mounting options that protect the stone and enhance its lines, from low profile bezels that shelter the girdle to open prong settings that allow more light through the pavilion. If your desire is to finalize a proposal with a stone that reassures as it delights, or to acquire a Zambian emerald that complements a curated collection, this gem is a confident resolution to that search.
