1.67 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This pear shaped masterpiece from The Natural Emerald Company presents an invitation to refined possession, a jewel that captures both the gaze and the imagination. We offer one transparent 1.67 carat emerald, cut into a graceful pear silhouette, with dimensions 10.45 by 6.93 by 4.08 millimeters, expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes scintillation with broad, luminous planes. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a distinction that renders this stone visually pristine to the wearer, while preserving the subtle, natural character that signals authenticity. The color intensity is intense, a saturated green that reads as both alive and composed, and the polish is excellent, producing a mirror like surface that amplifies the gems inner fire. Enhancement is standard, executed with the care and restraint expected of responsible ateliers, and the emeralds origin is Zambia, a source known for producing stones of remarkable depth and vibrancy. In your hand this gem reads as an objet of achievement, its size and clarity offering immediate presence, its cut and finish conferring a modern elegance that will translate effortlessly into a statement ring, a pendant, or an heirloom commission.

To appreciate the singular voice of this Zambian emerald, it is illuminating to set it beside some of the world capitals of emerald lore. Colombian examples from Muzo and Chivor are celebrated for a pure, velvety green that often carries a slightly bluish undertone and a luminous, almost water like clarity, a tone prized by connoisseurs for its classical restraint. Brazilian emeralds often display a lighter, fresher green with sometimes golden or yellowish nuances that give them a lively, sunlit character. Our Zambian gem, by contrast, sings in a deeper register, its hue leaning toward a vivid, cool grass green with a crystalline clarity that reads as electric and modern. Where Colombian stones can evoke gentle verdant depth, and Brazilian stones can suggest springtime luminosity, this Zambian gem announces itself with a bolder chroma and a cool clarity that seems to glow from within, owing in part to the masterful mixed brilliant cutting that balances brilliance and broad flashes of color.

Placed within a broader palette of famous green gemstones, the personality of this emerald becomes even more distinct. Russian demantoid garnets are famed for a fiery, slightly yellow green that shimmers with a different kind of brilliance, a lively sparkle that differs from the deep, soothing saturation of an emerald. Green tourmalines, especially Paraiba tourmalines by contrast often present electric blue green tones with neon clarity, a different spectrum of desirability entirely. Peridot tends toward an olive or chartreuse family, warmer and earthier than the cool, intensely saturated green of this Zambian emerald. The tone of the stone we present sits elegantly between the historical softness associated with the finest Colombian examples and the vivid, contemporary clarity that collectors now celebrate in Zambian material. That balance makes this gem a rare interpretive canvas for a jeweler, because it reads as both classically beautiful and unquestionably modern, allowing settings that range from minimalist platinum to richly worked vintage inspired metalwork.
