This particular emerald boasts a weight of 2.28 carats, perfectly balanced in a cushion shape that measures 9.22 x 7.02 x 5.19 mm.

Emeralds, revered throughout history, command the admiration of gemstone enthusiasts for their unparalleled verdancy. This emerald, mined from the esteemed Zambian deposits, carries the rich heritage of its origins with pride. Zambian emeralds are highly sought after for their unique bluish-green undertones and exceptional clarity, distinguishing them from their Colombian and Brazilian counterparts. As such, this Zambian emerald stands out, not only for its impressive carat weight but also for its vivid color intensity and striking vibrancy that eclipses more common gemstones such as emeralds from other regions.

Clarity is a critical factor in assessing the quality and desirability of any gemstone. The emerald we present has a clarity grade of slightly included, as evaluated at eye level, meaning that any inclusions present are minimal and do not significantly detract from its beauty or value. Unlike diamonds, where clarity is of utmost importance, the inclusions in emeralds are often embraced as evidence of their natural formation. In fact, these inclusions, often referred to as the emerald's "jardin," add character without overshadowing the gemstone's allure. This particular piece, polished to an exemplary finish, ensures a flawless surface that enhances the overall brilliance of the gemstone.

The mixed brilliant cut of our emerald further elevates its appeal by maximizing its light performance. This cutting style involves strategically placed facets that create a dazzling display of light and color, often likened to a kaleidoscopic effect. This ability to capture and refract light is why the cushion-shaped mixed brilliant cut is favored for precious gemstones. Coupled with its exquisite polish, the emerald delivers extraordinary visual impact not only due to its rich and vivid color but also to the memorable brilliance that leaves a lasting impression.

At The Natural Emerald Company, we pride ourselves on our commitment to quality and authenticity. Our carefully sourced Zambian emeralds are a testament to the enduring beauty and value that high-caliber gemstones bring to collectors and jewelry connoisseurs alike. This emerald exemplifies the pinnacle of nature's craftsmanship, offering a distinctive and luxurious option for those who understand and appreciate the finer intricacies of gemstone selection. Having this remarkable emerald in one's collection speaks to one's appreciation of beauty, rarity, and enduring value, attributes that are as timeless as the gemstone itself.
