1.29 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Nestled within the lush, verdant landscapes of Zambia, where the earth’s embrace has nurtured some of the world's most captivating gemstones, lies the origin of a timeless treasure—the emerald. Our radiant 1.29 carat Asscher-cut green emerald is a testament to nature’s exceptional craftsmanship and the enduring allure of this illustrious gemstone. The transparent body of this emerald, with its beautifully measured dimensions of 6.74 x 6.52 x 3.84 mm, is truly a sight to behold. The octagon shape, a design that harkens back to the sophisticated elegance of bygone eras, speaks to the dual nature of the emerald as both a symbol of majestic legacy and boundless possibility.

Emeralds have captured the imagination and affection of civilizations for millennia. From the regal settings of Cleopatra’s palace to their coveted inclusion in the royal jewels of India, these gems have always been praised for their vivid green hue and spiritual resonance. Today, our emerald maintains this storied legacy through its medium color intensity, a hue that whispers rather than shouts, preferring the hushed tones of elegance to ostentatious display. This subtle vibrancy is meticulously contrasted in an Asscher cut, further immortalizing the stone’s innate qualities in a design that celebrates both proportion and clarity.

A hallmark of any gem’s beauty is its clarity. Though slightly included, as evaluated at eye level, this emerald retains a captivating transparency that underscores its enchanting nature. The gentle whispers of inclusions are not flaws but beautiful narratives of the stone’s journey through time. These tales, wrapped in the verdant mystique of the green gem, are often sought by connoisseurs who appreciate the raw and unfiltered essence of the earth’s exquisite creations.

On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, emerald is a prominent figure, with a ranking between 7.5 and 8. This comparative hardness confers upon our Asscher-cut emerald not only an enduring beauty but also a resilient spirit, well-suited to a lifetime of wear as either a bold statement piece or a cherished heirloom. Adeptly polished to an excellent finish, the emerald promises both visual pleasure and tangible durability, ensuring it resonates through generations with grace and eminence.

It serves as an enduring emblem of our passion for tradition and the legacy of quality we relentlessly strive to uphold. Each facet of the emerald tells a history steeped in luxury and testament to the rich tapestry of human culture, while also promising a future adorned with timeless beauty.
