1.98 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

One beautiful transparent 1.98 carat heart shape green emerald, dimensions 7.22 x 10.16 x 4.69 mm, faceted cutting style with a mixed brilliant cut, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, enhancement standard, origin Zambia. This gemstone is presented by The Natural Emerald Company, and these exact specifications are the foundation of every conversation about how this emerald can become the centerpiece of a lifetime of memories. The weight and proportions combine to make a stone that reads as both intimate and impressive, a near two carat heart that holds presence without shouting. The mixed brilliant faceting brings internal fire and scintillation, while the excellent polish ensures the surface reflects light with a mirror like finish. The very slightly included clarity means that to the naked eye this emerald appears clean and pure, allowing the intense green to command attention, and the standard enhancement ensures stability and beauty that jewelry designers understand and appreciate.

Imagine this heart shaped emerald set as a classic solitaire ring with a delicate split shank in warm yellow gold, a modern bezel set pendant that floats over the heart, or a romantic halo of pavé diamonds that amplifies its verdant glow. Because the shape is heart, every setting becomes an act of storytelling, and the mixed brilliant cut gives versatility to both bold and subtle designs. For a timeless engagement piece, envision the emerald nestled in a three stone composition, flanked by tapered baguettes that elongate the finger and emphasize the stone length of 10.16 mm. For everyday elegance, a low profile bezel in platinum offers protection and modern minimalism, ideal for someone who wants to wear their heart close to the skin every day. For evening glamour, a claw set halo with micro pavé shoulders will turn this emerald into a sparkling statement that catches camera flash and candlelight alike.

Beyond rings, this heart shaped emerald lends itself to earrings, pendants, and bespoke designs that honor personal moments and family stories. A pair of complementary smaller emeralds could become drop earrings that sway and shimmer, or this single heart could be pierced into a charm necklace that layers with other tokens of love. Designers will find that the 7.22 x 10.16 mm footprint allows creative bezel and prong constructions, tension settings for modern lovers of clean lines, and convertible pieces that switch from pendant to brooch with simple craftsmanship. The intense color intensity ensures that whether set in rose gold to warm the hue, in white gold to create contrast, or in yellow gold to evoke vintage romance, the emerald will read as rich and alive. The Natural Emerald Company encourages custom consultations, because the emotional resonance of a heart shaped stone is most powerful when it is cut and set to reflect the story you want to tell.

Choosing this emerald is more than buying a gem, it is commissioning a memory and creating a ritual of joy. Picture the smile when a ring is opened to reveal a vivid green heart, the emotion when a pendant is placed over a collarbone at an anniversary dinner, the delight when family members admire a creation that celebrates heritage and personal taste. Our team at The Natural Emerald Company loves working with clients to translate feelings into metal and design, suggesting settings that protect the stone and highlight its best virtues, such as low profile bezels for active wearers, open galleries to maximize light for those who prize brilliance, and vintage inspired settings for lovers of intricate milgrain and filigree. From initial concept sketches to final polish, we guide the process to ensure the final piece reflects your unique voice, turning this Zambian emerald into a wearable symbol of love, celebration, and enduring beauty.
