14.28 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

When you are searching for a singular gemstone that answers both the desire for show stopping beauty and the need for long term wearability, this C.Dunaigre certified 14.28 carat pear shape green emerald answers that call. This gem measures 23.86 by 14.54 by 6.85 mm, and its faceted mixed brilliant cut has been executed to enhance the vibrant green that defines Zambian origin. At eye level the clarity is graded slightly included, which in an emerald of this size and intensity adds character without distracting from the gem feeling. The color intensity is intense, the polish is excellent, and the enhancement is standard, all qualities that combine to create a gem with real presence and refined sparkle. The Natural Emerald Company presents this stone as a focal piece for collectors who value provenance, and for clients who want an engagement ring or statement jewel that reads as both natural and luxurious.

Imagine this pear shape transformed into a variety of settings to suit your lifestyle and taste. As a classic solitaire ring the tapered pear silhouette will lengthen the finger, offering a bold yet elegant profile for a bespoke engagement ring. Set as a halo, the emerald will be surrounded by diamonds or colored sapphires to amplify its intense green, while a three stone design can pair it with graduated diamonds or matched emeralds to tell a story across the finger. In a pendant the pear shape hangs beautifully as a drop, lending itself to both modern minimal settings and vintage inspired gallery work. For earrings the gem could be mirrored with a matching partner sourced by The Natural Emerald Company for a balanced pair, or it could be paired with smaller accent stones in chandelier or linear drop designs. The substantial carat weight also makes the stone ideal for a statement ring, a cufflink set for menswear, or a central element in a hand crafted brooch for collectors who prize uniqueness.

When considering customization, the proportions and cutting style of this stone give your jeweler options. The mixed brilliant cut offers numerous facets to catch light, which means prong settings can maximize brilliance while bezel settings can protect the girdle and provide a contemporary secure look. For daily wear pieces such as engagement rings, I suggest a design that protects the pointed tip, either with a custom protective prong, a V prong, or a partial bezel, to combine security with aesthetic. For necklaces and brooches that will receive less abrasion, open settings and refined prongs will allow more light to enter the pavilion for maximum fire. The Natural Emerald Company works with master setters and designers to provide CAD renderings and material recommendations, including metal choices from platinum for durability to warm 18 karat gold tones that will enhance the green. Combining this emerald with small melee diamonds, baguettes, or colored accents can create everything from a modern solitaire statement to a richly detailed vintage inspired composition crafted to suit your daily life or special occasion use.
