2.06 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Imagine holding a moment of pure green fire, a living memory that will light up faces for generations. This remarkable gem from The Natural Emerald Company is a transparent, two point zero six carat cushion shaped green emerald, crafted with a mixed brilliant cut that dances with light as you move. Its generous proportions of eight point three four by eight point two zero by five point four one millimeters give it a presence that is both elegant and bold, a gem that feels significant without ever shouting. The color is intense and evocative, a green so lush it seems to hold a secret forest within, finished with an excellent polish that lets each facet sing. Clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which adds character and a gentle depth to the stone while maintaining beautiful transparency. Originating from Zambia, and offered with a standard enhancement, this emerald carries provenance and authenticity that lovers of fine gems will recognize and cherish.

Think of the ways this jewel can become the heart of your story, customized into pieces that reflect who you are and the moments you celebrate. As a solitaire engagement ring the cushion shape embraces the finger with soft corners and a bold table, a classic silhouette that speaks of devotion and timeless style. In a halo setting this emerald will appear larger and more luminous, surrounded by a ring of sparkling diamonds that amplify its intense green and create a halo of devotion around your love. For those who love symmetry and balance, a three stone design pairs the center emerald with two tapered diamonds or sapphires, symbolizing past present and future, while vintage inspired settings with milgrain and filigree emphasize romance and enduring craftsmanship. The mixed brilliant cut is forgiving and versatile, reflecting light in multiple directions, which makes this gem ideal for prong settings that maximize sparkle, and also for bezel settings that accentuate the cushion outline and offer a sleek modern look for everyday wear.

Beyond rings this emerald becomes a luminous pendant, a pair of elegant earrings, or a striking cocktail piece that announces joy and celebration. A single emerald suspended on a fine chain will sit close to the heart, its intense green an intimate statement that grows more meaningful with every glance. Pierced earrings crafted as studs or drops can mirror one another or be matched by design to other pieces, creating a cohesive set that tells a personal story. For bold evening wear imagine this stone set in a halo pendant or a cluster ring, surrounded by baguette diamonds or tiny pavé stones for movement and drama. The stone also adapts beautifully to men’s jewelry, where a simple bezel set in warm yellow gold or cool platinum becomes a signature piece, resilient for daily wear and astonishing in its quiet confidence. The dimensions and the excellent polish of this emerald make it particularly adaptable, whether the design needs to embrace the depth and pavilion for light return, or to showcase the cushion outline as a central visual element.

When you commission a custom piece through The Natural Emerald Company you work with people who love gems as much as you do, people who listen to the story you want to tell and translate it into metal and stone. Our designers and bench jewelers can help you choose the perfect setting that protects the gem and amplifies its beauty, whether that means prongs that elevate the stone for light play, a low bezel for durability, or a delicate halo for maximum presence. We can explore metal choices that change the mood entirely, pairing the emerald with warm rose gold for a romantic glow, yellow gold for a vintage regal feeling, white gold or platinum for a crisp modern contrast. Accent stones can be diamonds for brilliance, sapphires for color harmony, or custom carved details that echo a personal motif. Because this emerald has a standard enhancement and natural inclusions that give it character, our team will carefully orient the stone to reveal its most captivating face, and provide care guidance so that your custom piece becomes a living heirloom, passed forward with the same delight it brings today. Reach out to us for a design consultation, and let this Zambian treasure be the gem that marks your happiest moments, a piece made to inspire joy, to celebrate love, and to become part of your family stories for years to come.
