Emeralds have been treasured for thousands of years, known as the quintessential green gemstones with a rich heritage that spans cultures and continents. Their lush verdant hue is synonymous with spring, rebirth, and royalty, ensuring their enduring popularity among gemstone enthusiasts and jewelry collectors alike. The allure of emeralds has always been their connection to opulence and mystique, making them a highly sought-after choice for fine jewelry.
This particular gemstone is an exquisite example of the best characteristics one can expect from high-quality emeralds. We present a transparent, 2.48-carat oval-shaped green emerald, which radiates a vibrant depth of color that is nothing short of breathtaking. Its dimensions, appreciable at a glance, measure a significant 10.08 x 7.91 x 5.17 mm, substantial enough to make a statement in any setting.
The mixed brilliant cut of this emerald optimizes the play of light within the stone, enhancing the visual impact of its inherent clarity and colour. The clarity grade of very slightly included—evaluated at eye level—indicates that any natural inclusions are minimal and do little to detract from the gemstone's overall beauty and transparency. Such a clarity grade is uncommon and highly prized in emeralds, which are typically known for their inclusions.
Its vivid color intensity is one of its most stunning features, capturing the quintessential emerald green that is both deep and lit with an inner fire. This intensity ensures that the gemstone will stand out, whether set as a solitaire or amidst other stones in a more elaborate piece. The excellent polish contributes to the gemstone's luster, giving it a mirror-like surface that reflects light beautifully.
Originating from the rich mineral deposits of Zambia, this emerald benefits from the region's unique geological conditions, known to produce some of the finest examples of this gemstone. Zambian emeralds are valued for their exceptional purity and vibrant greens that can rival the more traditionally sought-after Colombian emeralds.
Customers interested in owning a gemstone that embodies both luxury and natural beauty will find this emerald an ideal choice. Its size and superb aesthetics make it perfect for creating a signature piece of jewelry, such as a cocktail ring or a pendant that demands attention. Those who appreciate the power of an emerald's lore and value the traceable origins of their gemstones will be pleased by the Zambian lineage of this particular piece.
