2.24 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

There are stones that speak in whispers and stones that sing, and this emerald sings like an old promise rediscovered. We present a transparent green emerald weighing 2.24 carats that sits like a quiet sunbeam within an emerald cut, its clean facets guiding light into a luminous heart. The gem measures 8.26 by 7.47 by 5.14 mm, a size that reads as intimate on the hand and magnificent when set as the centerpiece of a ring or pendant. Its color reads as vivid in intensity, a green that is both fresh and deep, a color that calls to mind rain on jungle leaves and the hush of new growth after a storm. The clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, inclusions that are small companions rather than flaws, a map of the earths passage that lends character and provenance to the gem. An excellent polish lifts each facet into crisp geometry, while a standard enhancement speaks to the stone as a living treasure that has been tended rather than altered. This is an emerald that reflects thoughtful cutting and careful finishing, and when you hold it in daylight it gives back a glow that feels like affirmation.

Imagine passing this gem from hand to hand across generations, each giver leaving an invisible signature in its facets. A jewel crafted around this 2.24 carat emerald will not merely be ornamentation, it will be a vessel for stories. The emerald cut shapes the light into a steady, enduring cadence, a geometry that reads as both modern and timeless. Its transparency invites memories to settle inside it, and its very slightly included nature will be spoken of like the delicate foxing of a beloved book, a trace of authenticity that proves the stone is genuine and alive. Because it balances presence with restraint, the 8.26 by 7.47 by 5.14 mm proportions allow for settings that can be repaired, resized, remounted, or reinterpreted as fashions and hearts change. An heirloom must be adaptable, it must be trusted to survive the hands of children and the curiosity of grandchildren, and the solid construction implied by the excellent polish and precise emerald cut ensures that it can be reset into a softer bezel for daily wear or a more ornate vintage mount for ceremonial moments. To entrust this gem to a lineage is to entrust a tangible emotion, a green thread that stitches stories of love, resilience, and quiet celebration across decades.

There is also a story of place woven into the stone, a provenance that adds a layer of meaning. This emerald is from Zambia, a source known for producing gems with a unique vibrancy and depth. When you choose a gem from The Natural Emerald Company you choose transparency in origin and care, and this specimen carries the signature of its land in its green. Because emerald is a member of the beryl family with natural inclusions common to its formation, the standard enhancement it carries is a traditional practice to improve clarity subtly, and as caretakers of such stones we recommend gentle maintenance rather than harsh routines. With occasional professional cleaning, mindful storage away from hard impacts, and a love that understands the balance between everyday wear and ceremonial use, this emerald can be worn for weddings, anniversaries, births, and quiet evenings, and later repurposed for new tastes and tender hands. Envision a grandmother reaching into a velvet box and lifting this gem, a flash of green igniting recollection, and then passing it forward with a story and a kiss. That is how heirlooms live, not in the vault alone, but in the pulse of family life. For those seeking a stone that combines natural origin, exquisite proportion, and a color that feels like home, this Zambian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is an invitation to begin a legacy.
