1.70 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Introducing a stunning addition to our exclusive collection at The Natural Emerald Company, this 1.70 carat emerald exemplifies the allure and elegance that only a meticulously crafted gemstone can offer. Expertly cut into an emerald shape, this piece measures an ideal 8.17 x 6.07 x 4.72 mm, perfectly proportioned to enhance its inherent beauty. With a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, this gem maintains a remarkable transparency that showcases its intense color intensity. The exquisite polish further enhances its appeal, providing a captivating brilliance that competes with the finest emeralds from around the world, originating from the renowned mines of Zambia.

Zambia has gained prominence in the gemstone market for producing emeralds with distinct, vibrant hues, and this particular emerald serves as a testament to that reputation. The intense green coloration found in this stone is comparable to the lush richness typically associated with Colombian emeralds, renowned for their deep verdant shades. However, what sets Zambian emeralds apart is their often cooler bluish to pure green tones. This piece embodies that characteristic Zambian hue with a vivacity and clarity that rival the traditional emeralds of Colombia and surpasses in versatility those found in Brazil, which are known to carry a lighter, more yellowish tone.

The emerald cut of this gemstone is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a technical feat of craftsmanship. This cut highlights the transparency and rich color of the emerald while minimizing the visual impact of inclusions, enhancing its clarity and color intensity. The meticulous faceting creates a hall of mirrors effect, lending the piece an extra dimension of depth and complexity. This style of cut pays homage to the classic origins of emerald cuts and is considered ideal for stones originating from Zambia due to its ability to emphasize the distinctive body color and maintain the purity of the stone's structure.

The intense color intensity of this emerald positions it among the most sought-after gemstones. Its saturation and tone echo the lush landscapes of its Zambian origins, promising a depth of color that remains vibrant yet elegantly understated. The consistent color distribution throughout the gem underscores its high-quality craftsmanship and commitment to excellence. Such meticulous attention to detail ensures that each facet glimmers with an unmatched brilliance, affirming the stone's stature among connoisseurs who value precision as much as beauty.
