1.37 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This transparent Zambian emerald began its journey embedded in emerald bearing schist, recovered by artisanal and small scale mining teams under regulated practices in Zambia, then consolidated and inspected by field buyers for color and clarity potential. The near rough crystal was selected for its rich green tone and clean window that promised a fine faceted result, then routed to experienced lapidaries for precision cutting. The result is a marquise shape emerald weighing 1.37 carat, with finished dimensions of 12.07 x 6.02 x 3.59 mm, executed in a mixed brilliant cut to balance brilliance and color. The stone displays intense color intensity, excellent polish, and transparency appropriate for fine jewelry, with a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and enhancement standard as applied to improve stability and appearance. Throughout cutting and finishing, The Natural Emerald Company monitored facet alignment and proportions to preserve weight while maximizing even color distribution and optical performance.

After cutting and initial inspection, the stone underwent a comprehensive quality assessment, photographic documentation, and secure packaging for grading and market presentation. The mixed brilliant marquise profile offers an elongated silhouette that concentrates color along its length, a consideration for setting design and light performance, and its measurements and excellent polish facilitate precise prong and bezel mounting. Slight inclusions are consistent with natural origin and do not compromise the gem visually at normal viewing distance, while the intense color intensity remains the defining attribute when set under varied lighting. The Natural Emerald Company maintains provenance records and condition notes for this emerald, and can provide detailed measurements, imagery, and certification information on request, enabling designers and buyers to make informed decisions based on objective specifications and observable characteristics.
