18.24 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Zambia

This exceptional translucent 18.24 carat cushion shape green emerald measures 15.84 x 15.64 x 11.14 mm, with a traditional sugar loaf cut that accentuates depth and body, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish. The clarity is graded included, evaluated at eye level, a charming and authentic emerald characteristic that reveals natural internal features which add life and character to the stone, rather than detracting from it. The gem displays a rich, saturated green with flattering blue undertones, allowing light to play across the domed sugar loaf crown and create a gentle glow. At this substantial size, the stone offers presence and elegance, suitable for a distinctive solitaire ring, a statement pendant, or a bespoke creation that highlights its cushion silhouette and voluptuous profile. Enhancement is standard, consistent with responsible trade and common practice in the market, and the overall finish and faceting quality speak to careful cutting and an excellent polish that maximizes the stone s natural color and translucency.
