1.43 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

The emerald offered by The Natural Emerald Company is an exceptional example of nature's artistry and human craftsmanship combined. This 1.43 carat gem, expertly fashioned into an emerald cut shape, represents the pinnacle of quality within its class. With precise dimensions measuring 7.94 x 5.92 x 4.08 mm, its form is honed to accentuate the striking features inherent to fine emeralds. The emerald cut, revered for its ability to emphasize a stone's inherent clarity and color, beautifully showcases the gem's internal brilliance.

This particular emerald hails from Zambia, a renowned source of some of the most coveted green gemstones in the world. Zambian emeralds are distinguished by their vibrant and intense colorations, largely due to the rich presence of chromium within their geological formations. Our emerald exhibits a remarkable intense color intensity, providing a vivid green hue that commands attention. The green is rich and lush, characteristics that collectors and jewelry enthusiasts seek for both investment potential and aesthetic pleasure.

On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, emeralds typically register around 7.5 to 8, indicating a commendable balance between beauty and durability. While not as hard as sapphires or diamonds, their structural integrity allows them to withstand regular wear. This balance is especially crucial for those who wish to appreciate their emeralds daily, whether set in an elegant pendant or as a centerpiece in an engagement ring. However, as with all precious gemstones, proper care and protection can significantly extend the life and luster of the emerald, particularly by avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals and extremes of temperature.

One of the remarkable aspects of this emerald is its clarity, graded as slightly included, when evaluated at eye level. While inclusions at this level might be visible upon close inspection, they do nothing to detract from the overall aesthetic appeal of the gem, and indeed, many connoisseurs regard them as unique fingerprints of nature. It is essential to highlight that the excellent polish of this emerald further elevates its status, enabling its surface to reflect light with unparalleled radiance. The precision with which this gemstone was cut and polished by craftsmen caught in the marriage between tradition and innovation ensures a flawless finish that enhances its natural brilliance.

At The Natural Emerald Company, we understand that our clients possess an appreciation for gemstones that are composed of exquisite quality and distinct character. The craftsmanship employed in the faceting of this emerald is motivated by our commitment to letting each stone tell its story, rich with color, history, and emotion. For those who seek an emerald that is not only a visual marvel but a testament to quality and expert artisanship, this Zambian emerald is a compelling choice. With its captivating green hues and meticulous craftsmanship, it represents the unforgettable allure of one of nature's most breathtaking creations.
