This exquisite round shape green emerald, offered by The Natural Emerald Company, presents a striking example of the unparalleled beauty and quality associated with Zambian gemstones. Weighing in at an impressive 1.60 carats and with dimensions of 7.62 x 7.51 x 5.10 mm, this emerald has been masterfully cut to maximize its natural allure. It boasts a mixed brilliant cut, which enhances both the brilliance and fire of the gem, creating a breathtaking interplay of light and color.
The hue of this emerald is a rich, vivid green with an intense color saturation that stands out among gemstones from other renowned locations. The tone and depth of its green are comparable to the fine quality emeralds from Colombia, which are known for their dark, bluish-green shades. However, this Zambian emerald distinguishes itself with a brighter, slightly more transparent appearance, which adds a layer of complexity and desirability rare in the emerald market. Its excellent polish further accentuates its gorgeous hue by allowing maximum light reflection, which is an essential quality for a gemstone of this caliber.
Clarity in gemstones is a crucial factor when considering a purchase, and this emerald has been graded as slightly included. This means that while some inclusions are present, they do not detract significantly from the gem's overall beauty and allure. In fact, inclusions in emeralds are expected and even admired as part of their natural character, referred to as the 'jardin' or garden. This particular stone has an eye-clean appearance, meaning any inclusions present are not visible without magnification, allowing the vivid color intensity to be the primary focus.
The origin of a gemstone can greatly influence its value, and Zambian emeralds are increasingly sought after in the industry for their superior durability and unique coloration. This gem's vibrant hue and impressive clarity make it a valuable addition to any sophisticated jewelry collection. The Natural Emerald Company prides itself on sourcing only the finest emeralds, ensuring that each piece is not only a stunning investment but also a lasting testament to nature's artistry. Whether set into a ring, pendant, or earrings, this remarkable emerald will undoubtedly capture attention and admiration for years to come, providing incomparable elegance and a timeless connection to one of the world's most renowned emerald sources.
