1.72 Ct. Emerald from Ethiopia

The journey of this magnificent green emerald began millions of years ago beneath the surface of the Earth. In the rugged terrains of what we now know as Ethiopia, deep within the ancient geological formations, intense pressure and heat gave birth to this captivating gemstone. Over time, natural geological processes such as tectonic shifts and volcanic activities brought the emerald closer to the Earth's crust, making it accessible to human discovery. This emerald, enduring the test of time, encapsulates the secrets of Earth's primordial seasons, presenting an alluring glimpse into our planet's vibrant history.

This particular emerald boasts a remarkable weight of 1.72 carats and is beautifully shaped in an oval form with dimensions of 9.21 x 7.27 x 4.54 mm. Crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, it enhances the stone's inherent sparkle, maximizing the play of light to reveal its vibrant green hue. The intensity of its color is particularly striking, setting it apart from other gemstones. This vivid green is the result of the mineral beryl containing chromium and vanadium, elements that infuse the emerald with its unique and desirable color intensity. The stone's clarity is graded as slightly included, an expected feature in emeralds that adds a touch of character and authenticity. Unlike synthetic alternatives, these slight inclusions remind us of the natural process through which Mother Nature forms these wonders.

Expertly polished, this emerald reflects light with an exceptional brilliance, showing the skillful work of artisans who seek to present gemstones in their most dazzling form. The polish signifies not only the craftsmanship involved but also the care taken to maintain the integrity of this natural treasure.
