2.10 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

There are gemstones, and then there are pieces that quietly announce their singularity, reserved for discerning collectors and bespoke designers who understand that true rarity is felt as much as it is seen. This transparent Zambian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is one such stone, weighing a dignified 2.10 carats and masterfully fashioned into a classic emerald cut. At 8.73 by 7.33 by 4.26 millimeters, its proportions are impeccably balanced, delivering a substantial face up presence that remains refined and versatile. The color intensity reads as dark and sumptuous, the kind of green that commands attention without loudness, while an excellent polish gives every facet a mirror like finish. The clarity is graded included when viewed at eye level, a truthful affirmation of natural character, and the enhancement is standard, applied in the traditional manner that preserves and respects the gem’s integrity. Stones of this profile, with deep Zambian provenance and careful finishing, are rarely available, and ownership confers membership in a quiet circle of collectors who prize authenticity and provenance as much as beauty.

This emerald’s emerald cut and measured size make it an exceptional candidate for custom jewelry, and for a client seeking a statement that is both architectural and elegant it could not be better suited. The step cut planes of the emerald cut create broad, luminous facets that emphasize color and clarity in a way brilliant cuts do not, so the dark, saturated green becomes the star of any design, rather than being fragmented by excessive scintillation. At 8.73 by 7.33 millimeters the gem fits comfortably into classic ring heads and modern bezel settings alike, while the 4.26 millimeter depth is ideal for secure prong work, bezel walls, and bespoke channel mountings, giving a jeweler room to design supportive, protective settings without compromising the stone’s visual weight. For an engagement ring the shape reads as timeless and aristocratic, for a pendant it becomes a confident centerpiece, and for cufflinks or a signet inspired design it offers masculine presence with elegant lines. Custom designers will appreciate that the emerald cut lends itself to paired stones and side diamonds, because its geometry creates crisp negative space that can be framed with tapered baguettes, round brilliants, or contrasting colored gems, enabling a truly unique creation that highlights the gem’s dark green glow while fitting precisely to the wearers proportions and lifestyle.

Owning a gem like this is about more than acquiring a beautiful object, it is about commissioning a piece that becomes a personal heirloom, designed around a stone with character and history. At The Natural Emerald Company we treat each emerald as the nucleus of a bespoke conversation, working with master setters and designers to ensure the final mounting amplifies the gem’s innate strengths, conceals inclusions where needed with thoughtful metal work, and showcases the depth of color with the right metal tone and accent stones. The included clarity at eye level is not a flaw to hide, it is a story of natural formation that speaks to authenticity, and the standard enhancement applied is industry respectful, intended to stabilize and beautify without sacrificing provenance. Availability of stones with this particular combination of size, emerald cut symmetry, Zambian origin, dark intensity, and excellent polish is very limited, and we encourage serious collectors and clients seeking a one of a kind commission to contact us for a private consultation. Allow us to reserve this emerald and guide you through design options, from classic four prong solitaire settings that emphasize the table, to custom bezel and halo arrangements that frame it like a private jewel, and secure for yourself an object of rare taste and enduring value.
