The origin of this emerald is Zambia, and that provenance adds more than a provenance line to a certificate, it adds character, rarity, and a story of Earth and people. Zambian emeralds are admired around the world for their vivid, often slightly bluish green tones, and for a clarity and depth that can be surprisingly free of heavy inclusions. Emerging from geology that has nurtured gem quality crystals over millions of years, a Zambian emerald bears the signature of place, the mineral history of its birth, and the touch of skilled hands that brought it to life. Knowing the source of a gemstone is knowing where its story begins, and that knowledge enhances its emotional resonance. When you give or receive a Zambian emerald, you are sharing a connection to distant landscapes, to miners and cutters who shaped the stone with care, and to a tradition of gemstones that collectors and lovers of beauty have sought for decades.

Every detail of this heart shape has been considered to create a gem that is as wearable as it is wondrous. The mixed brilliant cut combines the scintillating brilliance of a round cut with the elegance and outline of a heart, capturing light in both sparkle and depth, and translating it into a living green that seems to move with every turn. The measured proportions of 8.26 by 8.17 by 4.70 millimeters mean the stone sits beautifully in a setting, offering presence without overwhelming, and inviting close appreciation. The clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, speaks to a gem that is transparent and lively, with internal features that are natural and characterful rather than detracting. The enhancement listed as standard reflects time honored and accepted practices that enhance the stone gently and responsibly, improving stability and visual performance without altering the gem in ways that would mask its identity. Combined with excellent polish and the careful cutting that creates the heart silhouette, this emerald becomes an intimate object, perfect for an engagement, an anniversary, a declaration, or simply a spontaneous gift that says I see you and you are loved.
