1.85 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This transparent round green emerald weighs 1.85 carat, a weight that places it in a highly desirable range for both fine jewelry and investment grade gems. The size allows for confident presence on a range of mounting styles, from classic solitaires to more elaborate halo settings, while maintaining excellent proportion and durability. At 1.85 carat the stone represents a premium tier for Zambian emeralds, offering a balance between visual impact and the relative scarcity that accompanies larger, high quality material. Its transparent nature enhances light transmission and color saturation, allowing the intense green hue to read cleanly to the eye, and the weight of 1.85 carat contributes directly to both aesthetic presence and market value.

The gem measures 7.72 x 7.68 x 5.58 mm, with a round outline and a faceted mixed brilliant cut that has been executed to emphasize brilliance and color depth. The mixed brilliant faceting pattern combines pavilion and crown geometry designed to return maximum light, while preserving weight and maintaining an even face up appearance across the table. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, reflecting minor internal characteristics that do not detract from overall transparency or visual appeal but which are consistent with natural emerald formation. The polish is excellent, which ensures crisp facet junctions and optimal light return. Taken together, the dimensions and cutting style work in concert with the 1.85 carat weight to produce a stone that reads as both substantial and refined when set.

Color is a defining attribute of this piece, characterized by intense color intensity that is evenly distributed across the stone. The intense green hue, combined with the stone full transparency and the slightly included clarity grade, creates a visual impression of depth that is a hallmark of premium emerald material. Origin is Zambia, a source known for producing emeralds with vivid coloration and strong crystallographic quality. Enhancement is standard, consistent with routine clarity treatments accepted in the trade, and these treatments are disclosed transparently. The combination of a near two carat weight, intense color, excellent polish, and an expert mixed brilliant cut elevates this emerald into a category that is sought after by connoisseurs and gem professionals alike.
