1.42 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Close your eyes and imagine a moment that will live forever, a story that begins with a single, perfect green, a gemstone that holds more than color, it holds a memory. This transparent 1.42 carat asscher octagon green emerald from Zambia arrives as a promise, with dimensions of 6.39 x 6.38 x 5.08 mm, an asscher cut that gives it crisp architectural lines, a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a medium intense color intensity, an excellent polish, and a standard enhancement. At The Natural Emerald Company we have watched many gems become the heart of the moments people carry with them, and this emerald stands out as a rare balance of presence and personality. The geometry of the asscher faceting creates a stage for light to move with purpose, the octagonal outline presenting a vintage elegance that is at once modern and timeless, and the transparency of this stone allows you to peer into its depths like a window into an emerald garden.

It is inside that you will find its true signature, the inclusions that make this stone unmistakably alive. Look closely and you will see delicate botanical veils that sweep like tiny ferns and mossy trails, natural scenes frozen in crystalline time, pinpoints and feather like whispers that scatter light into soft glows, and minute mineral crystals that sit like ancient seeds waiting to be discovered. These features are not faults, they are fingerprints, a unique inclusion map that tells the story of the earth that birthed this gem, the pressure and heat and patient patience of geological time. The asscher cut with its step facets transforms these internal landscapes into a living tableau, each facet acting as a frame that reveals and reframes the inclusions as the gem moves, giving the wearer an ever changing private view. Because the stone is slightly included at eye level the character is clearly visible without detracting from its appeal, the inclusions becoming points of warmth rather than distraction, and the excellent polish ensures that every plane reflects light with a glass like clarity that amplifies the signature green color. The medium intense hue is a sweet spot, it is richly verdant without overpowering, a color that reads as confident and tender at once, a color that flatters skin and catches every eye.
