1.58 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

At The Natural Emerald Company we present a finely proportioned, transparent emerald weighing 1.58 carats, shaped as an oval with precise dimensions of 9.07 x 6.92 x 4.32 mm, featuring a mixed brilliant cut that enhances both face up brilliance and color saturation. This Zambian origin emerald displays intense color intensity, a hallmark of many high quality Zambian stones where chromium and vanadium contribute to a vivid, slightly bluish green tone. The clarity is graded slightly included when examined at eye level, which is consistent with natural emeralds and contributes to the gemetic character and authentication of the stone. The gem has an excellent polish, which allows light to travel cleanly through the pavilion and crown facets, maximizing visual depth and scintillation. The stone has undergone standard enhancement, a widely accepted treatment in the trade to improve clarity and stability, performed with care to preserve the natural appearance and to facilitate practical use in fine jewelry.

In terms of durability this emerald is well suited for daily wear with appropriate considerations, beryl family stones typically register around 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, providing good resistance to everyday abrasion, while the natural inclusions that give emeralds their unique internal landscape can also create points of relative fragility. For this reason we recommend protective settings such as bezel or halo styles that support the girdle and minimize exposure of the pavilion to knocks and sharp impacts. Routine care should avoid ultrasonic cleaners and aggressive steam treatments, instead using warm soapy water and a soft brush, and periodic inspections to ensure settings remain secure. With its vivid Zambian color, eye level transparency, excellent polish, and responsible standard enhancement, this 1.58 carat oval emerald represents a valuable acquisition for an educated buyer seeking a balance of natural character and everyday practicality, offered with the expertise and commitment to quality you expect from The Natural Emerald Company.
