1.42 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This transparent 1.42 carat, emerald cut green emerald measures 7.64 x 5.86 x 4.43 mm, and presents a vivid color intensity with an excellent polish. The classic emerald cut and step facets emphasize the stone's saturated green tone and produce broad flashes of color and depth, while maintaining a refined, geometric silhouette. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which is consistent with natural emerald formation and imparts character without compromising the gem's overall visual appeal. This emerald originates from Zambia and has received standard enhancement, a common and accepted practice to improve stability and appearance. The stone displays even color distribution and good transparency, allowing consistent light return through the table and facets, which enhances presence in both direct and softer lighting.

As an engagement option this emerald is compelling for those who value color driven beauty and considered design, and it performs well in a variety of settings. The rectangular emerald cut complements both classic solitaire and halo designs, and the stone can be set with protective elements such as a bezel or a diamond halo to reduce exposure of the girdle and corners in everyday wear. Given the natural inclusions and the standard enhancement, routine care is recommended, including avoiding exposure to household chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and heavy impacts, and arranging periodic professional inspection of the setting. The combination of vivid Zambian color, precise proportions, and excellent polish makes this gem suitable for a meaningful engagement ring that balances presence and practicality. The Natural Emerald Company presents this emerald with clear technical specifications and responsible sourcing information, supporting an informed choice for an engagement piece intended to be cherished and worn with care.
