1.77 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This 1.77 carat transparent oval green emerald from Zambia, offered by The Natural Emerald Company, stands out in the market for its rare combination of clarity, color, and cut. With dimensions of 8.98 x 7.05 x 4.74 mm and a mixed brilliant cut, this stone captures and returns light in a way that many traditional step cut emeralds cannot. Compared with lower grade material that appears dull or cloudy, this emerald is graded very slightly included at eye level, meaning it reads as clean to the naked eye, while still preserving the natural inclusions that confirm its authenticity. Its medium intense color intensity delivers a vibrant, lively green that sits between sheer and overly saturated tones found in some stones, offering superior wearable beauty and versatility. The excellent polish enhances the stone s surface and facet junctions, producing additional sparkle and refined presence that many commercial emeralds lack, and the standard enhancement used is consistent with industry practice, stabilizing and enhancing the gem without compromising its natural character.

Over the years this Zambian emerald will continue to captivate because its fundamental qualities are enduring, not trend driven. The inherent stability of emerald color means it will not fade like some dyed or treated materials, and the excellent polish and precise mixed brilliant cutting will keep the gem reflecting light beautifully as it is worn and enjoyed. Compared with lab created stones that lack natural inclusions, and with heavily included or poorly cut material that can appear flat, this gem offers a balance of natural provenance, visual purity, and craftsmanship that ages well and retains collector and jewelry value. Proper care will further ensure longevity, simple measures such as avoiding harsh chemicals and high heat, and periodic inspection and maintenance by a trusted jeweler will preserve its face up beauty. At The Natural Emerald Company we select stones for their natural appeal and long term desirability, and this 1.77 carat Zambian emerald exemplifies why our clients choose natural, well cut, eye clean gems for heirloom pieces and distinguished settings.
