2.36 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

From the lush, mineral rich soils of Zambia to the careful hands in our workshop, this emerald tells a story of earth and craft that I am proud to share with you. Unearthed by miners whose knowledge is passed down through generations, this transparent green emerald carries the deep, living tones that make Zambian stones so coveted. At 2.36 carat, with dimensions of 9.79 by 6.72 by 4.97 millimeters, the stone was shaped into a classic emerald cut to emphasize its broad, luminous table and rich internal color. Evaluated at eye level as slightly included, its natural inclusions add a fingerprint of authenticity while the intense color intensity and excellent polish bring a vivid, velvety green to the surface. A standard enhancement has been applied, consistent with traditional treatments that gently stabilize and clarify while preserving the gem's character. Every facet was planned and executed to honor the rough form discovered in the mine, transforming nature's creation into a refined jewel without erasing its origin story.

As an engagement choice this emerald is both romantic and rare, offering a narrative that outshines a simple purchase. Imagine this green heart capturing light at your partner's hand, a symbol of growth, renewal, and enduring commitment that traces back to the Zambian earth. The emerald cut provides a modern, elegant silhouette that sits beautifully in both classic and contemporary settings, while the slightly included clarity gives the gem personality and proof of its natural birth. At The Natural Emerald Company we ensure each stone arrives with provenance and purpose, so you can present not just a ring, but a meaningful heirloom. Whether set in platinum for a timeless look, or warmed by yellow gold for a vintage embrace, this 2.36 carat Zambian emerald will stand as a distinctive, soulful choice for an engagement piece that carries story, place, and the hands that shaped it.
