10.96 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

In the verdant hills of Zambia, cradled in the heart of the African continent, there was once a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Deep beneath the rich earth, where time seemed eternal, lay an exquisite piece of nature's art. Unearthed with respect and admiration, this emerald embarked on a journey that parallels a timeless epic. Known for its rich and deep hues, the Zambian emerald stands apart for its intense green color that seems to capture the soul of the lush landscapes it calls home. Here, amid the traditional mining villages, the tale of our emerald begins.

This particular emerald, weighing a mesmerizing 10.96 carats, finds its beauty encapsulated in a classic emerald cut, allowing its vibrant and deep green tones to capture light and flow into the gaze of those who admire it. Its dimensions, 14.24 by 10.78 by 7.50 mm, grant it a presence that is both commanding and elegant. The clarity grade, slightly included at eye level, is a testament to its natural origin, showcasing the unique fingerprint of Mother Earth herself. As each gentle stroke of polish was applied, it was as if the historical echoes of its creation were being meticulously honored, enhancing an already exquisite visage while preserving its authenticity.

The intense color intensity of this emerald shines with an alluring radiance, casting shades that complement the myriad of human beauty. Whether adorning warm or cool skin undertones, the emerald resonates differently but sincerely. On those with cooler undertones, its intense color becomes even more vibrant, a luscious river of green that sings against alabaster or olive skin. For those with warm undertones, this emerald's hue dances harmoniously, exuding a soft, vivid warmth that enhances golden or deeper skin tones. Its versatility as a gemstone for jewelry provides a perfect opportunity to enliven not just the jewelry piece but the very aura of one's presence.
