1.35 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Deep within the verdant landscapes of Zambia, where the earth holds secrets of ages past, lies the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Our story starts in a tranquil corner of this African nation known for its lush terrains and rich tapestry of gemstones. Here, amidst the mineral-rich soil and under the careful supervision of skilled artisans, a singular green emerald begins its tale. This land, famed for its superlative emeralds that can rival the most prestigious stones from around the globe, offers to its seekers a glimpse into its heart. In this hallowed soil, where Zambian emeralds boast an intense color and a clarity often compared to the legendary emeralds of Colombia's Muzo mines and the vibrant green of Brazil's beryl, emerges our emerald.

The gemstone we pridefully present to you, an exemplary 1.35-carat emerald, has been meticulously crafted to reveal its inherent beauty. With dimensions of 7.71 x 5.97 x 4.27 mm, this emerald cut stone has undergone a precise transformation under the hands of experienced lapidaries. The traditional emerald cut showcases its ability to catch and reflect light in a dance akin to the swaying leaves of the abundant flora from which it was born. Its medium color intensity pulls you in like a forest inviting exploration, offering a striking yet soothing hue that enhances its unique narrative. It is a stone both reminiscent of deep, untouched woods and the uncharted depths of the purest ocean greens.

Reverberating through its very structure is a history as clear and compelling as its clarity grade, assigned as very slightly included upon evaluation. This feature enhances its charm by presenting purity unmarred, the kind that invites deep admiration under any gaze or light.
