1.75 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

One transparent pear shaped green emerald weighing 1.75 carats, dimensions 10.05 by 7.12 by 4.48 millimeters, presents a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, offered by The Natural Emerald Company. The gem was fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, with a brilliant style crown that maximizes facet dispersion and scintillation, and a modified pavilion where carefully calculated step and kite facets preserve color saturation through controlled light leakage. The pear outline shows precise symmetry between the rounded and pointed ends, the girdle is proportioned to allow secure mounting, and the culet is finished to support optimal light return without introducing undesirable leakage. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, indicating the stone displays exceptional visual transparency for an emerald, inclusions are minute and located such that they do not interrupt the visual flow of color. Enhancement is standard, using traditional oiling and resin stabilization techniques typical for emeralds, applied conservatively to improve apparent clarity while maintaining structural integrity. Origin is Zambia, which contributes to the stone s characteristic balance between saturated green and slight bluish undertones, a color profile that responds well to mixed brilliant facet architecture to yield both depth and lively surface flash.

On the Mohs scale the emerald registers at approximately 7.5 to 8, placing it well above common jewelry materials such as glass and many organics, and below corundum which sits at 9 and diamond at 10, this comparison highlights that the stone offers good hardness for daily wear when properly set, yet it does not match the scratch resistance of sapphire or diamond. Practical durability for this specific Zambian emerald is enhanced by its very very slightly included clarity and by conservative stabilization, however toughness is influenced by internal features and cleavage directions inherent to beryl, so the stone benefits from protective mounting. For frequent wear we recommend settings that shield the pointed tip, such as a bezel or prong guards, and routine inspection to ensure any filler remains intact. At The Natural Emerald Company we can advise on mounting options and care procedures to preserve polish and color, ensuring this 1.75 carat pear shaped mixed brilliant emerald delivers lasting performance along with the technical refinement collectors value.
