1.64 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

There are gemstones that simply exist to be worn, and then there are exceptional treasures reserved for those who understand rarity and provenance. This 1.64 carat Zambian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company belongs to the latter category. From the moment light finds its way into the mixed brilliant facets, the stone announces itself with a depth of green that feels both ancient and immediate, as if distilled from a forgotten forest and polished for a private gallery. Owning this emerald is not merely purchasing a gem, it is claiming an heirloom in the making, a bespoke centerpiece that marks a singular chapter in a love story, a life milestone, or an elevation of personal style. We curate only the most extraordinary stones, and this oval shape emerald is offered in strictly limited quantity, an invitation extended to a select few who insist on authenticity and intimate exclusivity.

Technically refined and visually arresting, this transparent oval emerald weighs 1.64 carats and measures 9.59 x 7.48 x 4.36 mm, proportions that make it an ideal candidate for a striking engagement ring. The mixed brilliant cut delivers a scintillating play of light while maintaining the classic elegance of an oval silhouette. Clarity is graded as slightly included evaluated at eye level, a hallmark of natural emeralds that testifies to their geological journey and lends a distinctive personality to each stone. The color intensity is vivid, a saturated green that reads alive and luminous under a variety of lights. An excellent polish enhances the surface luster, allowing the vivid color and internal reflections to communicate with maximum clarity. Enhancement is standard, as is commonly practiced to stabilize and accentuate this gem species, and the origin is Zambia, a source celebrated for producing rich, pure green crystals with excellent color saturation. These combined characteristics create a gemstone that is both rare and wearable, a jewel that rewards close inspection and sustained admiration.

When considering an engagement ring, this emerald offers a narrative that diamonds alone cannot replicate. Emeralds symbolize enduring love, renewal, and wisdom, qualities that resonate deeply in the vows of partnership. The oval dimension and brilliant influenced cutting allow this stone to appear larger on the finger than its carat weight might imply, granting luminous presence without overwhelming daily wear. For those seeking a contemporary yet timeless design, a low bezel setting in warm 18 karat gold will accentuate the green while offering protective security to the slightly included stone. For a more classical expression, a four prong platinum or white gold mounting flanked by single cut or tapered baguette diamonds will channel vintage glamour. For clients wishing to emphasize exclusivity, we recommend a custom halo drawing upon antique motifs, handcrafted at our atelier to fit the exact contours of the 9.59 x 7.48 x 4.36 mm oval. Because emeralds are naturally softer than sapphires and diamonds, we advise practical daily considerations and gentle care, but when set thoughtfully, this gem becomes a lively, enduring signifier of commitment and taste.

At The Natural Emerald Company we pride ourselves on guiding collectors and couples through every step of acquiring a gem of this caliber. This Zambian 1.64 carat oval emerald is presented with provenance information and a transparent discussion of enhancement practices, and we offer optional independent certification to corroborate origin and treatment if desired. Our design team is available to create a bespoke engagement ring around this stone, tailoring profile, metal, and accent stones to your lifestyle and aesthetic, ensuring that the final piece communicates both personal meaning and artisanal refinement. Because stones like this do not arrive often, we handle each inquiry with care and confidentiality, reserving the opportunity for clients to claim this emerald exclusively. If you seek a singular expression of love that will be admired across generations, this vivid green, excellently polished, slightly included emerald from Zambia is a rare and worthy choice, and The Natural Emerald Company is honored to introduce it to you.
