1.62 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

If you are searching for an exceptional center stone that will end your search for the perfect engagement gem or the crown of a collector, this transparent 1.62 carat pear shape green emerald is the answer. Measuring 9.18 by 6.86 by 4.69 mm, the stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style that maximizes light return and creates a lively, scintillating face up presence. The vivid color intensity is striking, the clarity is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level which means the stone reads clean and bright to the eye, the polish is excellent, and the standard enhancement is consistent with fine Zambian material. The pear shape offers a graceful silhouette that flatters many finger sizes when set vertically in a ring, and it also reads beautifully as a pendant focal point for a classic tear shaped drop. For the customer who wants a gemstone that feels rare but wearable, this emerald combines gorgeous depth of color with practical dimensions and eye level clarity, making it an ideal choice whether your priority is everyday elegance, a statement engagement ring, or a standout museum quality piece for a collection.

When considering how to showcase this emerald in a custom design, think in terms of contrast and harmony. A halo of small white diamonds will amplify the vivid green and create a brilliant perimeter that enhances the pear outline, while tapered baguette side stones will elongate the finger and add architectural balance. For a warmer, vintage inspired look choose 18 karat yellow gold to bring out the emeralds golden green notes, for a modern, high contrast presentation choose platinum or white gold to let the green read electric against cool metal, and for a romantic, soft glow choose rose gold to add a gentle warmth without muting the stone. If you prefer color accents, pair with small Royal blue sapphires for a regal triad, with pink spinels for a feminine contrast, or with minty tsavorite garnets for a layered green palette. The Natural Emerald Company can help you visualize a custom setting, from classic solitaire with a diamond halo to three stone designs and bespoke pendant creations, and will advise on proportions so the 9.18 by 6.86 by 4.69 mm pear sits perfectly within your chosen design.
