1.37 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

There is a quiet authority to an emerald that carries the deep, enduring green of the earth, and this charming, transparent 1.37 carat oval emerald from Zambia embodies that timeless presence. Carefully sourced and presented by The Natural Emerald Company, this gem measures 8.97 x 7.05 x 3.73 mm, and it speaks to both history and heirloom quality. Zambian emeralds have long been admired for their vibrant saturation and clarity, and this stone shows vivid color intensity with a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The stone has undergone standard enhancement to stabilize and reveal its best expression, and it benefits from an excellent polish that allows the color to sing. In hand or set into a classic mount, this emerald evokes a lineage of noble jewelry, a connection to the traditions that have celebrated green gems since antiquity, and a promise that it will remain a cherished piece for generations.

What truly elevates this emerald is the precision of its faceted, mixed brilliant cut, a cutting style that harmonizes the old world sense of form with modern optical performance. The mixed brilliant design combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with carefully proportioned pavilion facets, creating an internal architecture that optimizes light entry, reflection, and return to the eye. The oval shape, elongated and generous in face up size, enhances the gem s perceived scale and creates an elegant play of light that flows across the table and along the shoulders. The excellent polish and the cutter s attention to facet junctions produce crisp reflections and lively scintillation, while the very slightly included clarity permits deep, even transmission of light without compromising the gem s natural character. The result is an emerald that balances rich, saturated color with spirited brilliance, a stone that honors tradition while performing with modern brilliance. For those who appreciate legacy and craftsmanship, this Zambian oval emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is a graceful embodiment of enduring beauty, ready to sit at the heart of a classic ring or a treasured pendant.
