2.28 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

The emerald presented here is an exquisite specimen of remarkable craftsmanship bestowing upon it an extraordinary allure. At 2.28 carats, this transparent green gemstone manifests an elegant oval shape with dimensions precisely measured at 9.70 x 7.40 x 5.68 mm. Such dimensions contribute to a balanced aspect ratio, enhancing the gem’s visual appeal and ensuring a harmonious interface between the dimensions and facet arrangement. This emerald showcases an advanced mixed brilliant cut, a strategic choice intended to optimize the reflection and refraction of light. Such a cut is instrumental in amplifying the gem's inherent optical attributes.

The mixed brilliant cut features a melange of faceting styles, carefully calibrated to maximize the play of light within the emerald's crystalline structure. By combining larger facets with meticulously arranged smaller ones, this cut capitalizes on the strengths of both classic brilliant and step cuts. The larger facets predominantly situated on the crown ensure that the emerald captures light effectively, while the smaller pavé-maintained facets on the base facet enhance its dispersion. Such a configuration engenders a lively scintillation as light reflects internally and externally, rendering an iconic brilliance synonymous with top-tier emeralds. This refined interaction with light underscores the gem's intrinsic properties, significantly enhancing its visibility and radiance from various viewing angles.

Graded with medium intense color intensity, this emerald captures a vivid green hue that is both profound and captivating. Originating from Zambia, a renowned locale for emerald excellence, the chromatic richness of this stone is further emphasized by its proprietary mixed cutting style. The coursework of skilled artisans ensures that the stone's vibrant color is seamlessly married with its overall translucence. Color intensity is a critical parameter, affecting the perceivable aura of the gem. This stone's robust saturation upholds the aesthetic purity characteristic of premium emeralds. By meticulously choosing a cut that maintains color consistency throughout the gemstone, The Natural Emerald Company underscores its commitment to upholding the highest standards of gemological artistry.

The emerald bears a clarity grade of slightly included, as evaluated at eye level.
