2.23 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

A pear shaped green emerald arrives like a secret held between two hands, a tear of forest light carved in faceted brilliance. Weighing 2.23 carat, with dimensions 10.84 x 7.46 x 5.26 mm, this gem carries the deep, waking green of Zambian earth, a vivid color intensity that sings beneath each facet. The mixed brilliant cut captures and scatters light like sunlight through leaves, and the excellent polish gives its surface a glassy, river clear finish. Slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone wears its natural story proudly, a gentle map of origin and formation that adds character rather than concealment. Treated with standard enhancement, it is a living jewel that retains the honest beauty of its mine, ready to become the heart of an intimate design or the centerpiece of an heirloom creation. At The Natural Emerald Company we present this emerald as both a treasure and a promise, an element of nature refined by the careful hand of the cutter and the patient craft of the jeweler.

Imagine this pear shaped emerald set as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, a droplet of green that elongates the finger and draws the eye inward, held by delicate prongs so the light can breathe from every angle. Picture it nested in a classic halo ring, where tiny diamonds form a luminous frame that heightens its vivid color, or imagine it in a three stone design, accompanied by trapezoid diamonds that speak of balance and companionship. For those who prefer a modern, architectural voice, a bezel setting will cradle the gem and emphasize its clean outline, offering a contemporary silhouette that is both secure and chic. As a pendant, the emerald becomes a drop of emerald sea, suspended at the throat to catch the pulse of light and movement, perfect for a solitaire mount or embraced by a subtle diamond halo for extra fire. Earrings transform the stone into mirrored windows of color, each pear shape reflecting the other in symmetry, or they can be paired with different cuts for an eclectic signature. A bracelet composed of pear shaped links or a single emerald set within a cuff can wear the gem close to the wrist, letting its green glimmer announce a quiet confidence with every gesture.

There are choices that turn this gem into an antique poem, and choices that turn it into a new stanza of modern design. A vintage inspired setting plays up the stone s natural inclusions and deep color, with milgrain details and filigree arms that weave the past into the present. For a minimalist lover, the stone can float in a thin band of gold, its mixed brilliant cut capturing light like a small lantern. Consider a custom setting where the point of the pear faces inward for a unique, guarded meaning, or reversed for a more languid, pendulous look. The emerald also invites colored metal combinations, yellow gold to warm and enrich its tones, white gold or platinum to lend contrast and spotlight its green purity, rose gold for an unexpected romantic glow. For a regal commission, the gem may be flanked by sapphires or emeralds of smaller size, creating a tapestry of jewel tones that sings of lineage and celebration. Every setting choice becomes a stanza in the wearer s story, each prong and bezel a punctuation that frames and defines the gem s voice.
