2.43 Ct. Emerald from Ethiopia

There are treasures that feel like vows, and this emerald is one of them. Born beneath the highlands of Ethiopia, where early morning light gathers itself into dew and the earth remembers ancient rains, this gem carries the quiet promise of a place that sings in green. We present a transparent C.Dunaigre certified emerald, weighing 2.43 carats, cut in a classic emerald shape with precise step facets that turn light into a gentle, rhythmic shimmer. Measuring 9.62 by 7.56 by 4.96 millimeters, it sits with a presence that is both refined and profoundly intimate. From the moment your fingers brush its surface you will feel the history of its creation, each facet a page in the story of the land that formed it, polished to an excellent finish that lets the heart of the stone breathe freely.

Imagine a story where two lovers meet beneath a canopy of green, their whispers carried away by the wind and returned as a promise engraved in crystal. The vivid color intensity of this emerald evokes the first deep exhale of spring, the kind that fills the lungs and resets the world. Its green is not merely a color, it is an emotion, a memory of shaded rivers, of moss and new leaves, of a future imagined in the hush that follows a confession. The very slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, is like the honest imperfection of life that we choose to honor, those small internal lines that make the gem uniquely itself and lend warmth to its glow. A standard enhancement has been applied with care and respect to preserve the stone's natural voice, ensuring that what you receive is an authentic encounter with nature, not an imitation of feeling.

Beyond its beauty, this emerald is a statement of certainty and grace. The step cut, with its concentric planes, creates a soft pavilion of light that refuses to shout, preferring instead to reveal its secrets in slow, intimate moments. Each plane reflects love as if it were a mirror that knows how to hold a gaze, and every angle is finished with an excellent polish that speaks of expert hands and patient devotion. For those who seek meaning, the C.Dunaigre certification provides the assurance of provenance and quality, a document that accompanies the gem like a well written letter accompanying a treasured keepsake. The origin in Ethiopia ties the stone to a landscape of deep cultural resonance, grounding its romance in a real place that has cradled these colors for millennia.

At The Natural Emerald Company we honor gemstones as companions for life, not as mere ornaments. This emerald is a companion for recollection, for vows, for the small acts that thread a lifetime together. Place it in a setting that allows light to enter and linger, let it be the center of a ring that will be worn through ordinary days and extraordinary nights, or a pendant that rests close to the heart like a whispered secret. When you hold this gem you hold a bridge between earth and emotion, a vivid green that will keep its clarity and its narrative through the years. If you imagine a jewel that is both a gift and a testament, that carries with it the scent of rain on distant hills and the steady pulse of honest life, then this emerald is waiting to become part of your own story.
