2.49 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This remarkable transparent green emerald weighs 2.49 carat, and measures 9.24 x 6.84 x 5.37 mm, its emerald cut revealing crisp step facets that deliver a serene play of light. The color is vividly intense, a lush, jewel tone that evokes the first joyful breath of spring, and the clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, ensuring impressive transparency and presence in any setting. The polish is excellent, the facets finishing with a mirror like sheen that allows the stone to sing with every movement. This Zambian origin emerald carries the authentic character and depth collectors and romantics adore, enhanced by standard treatment that respects the stone while stabilizing its natural beauty. At The Natural Emerald Company we see this gem as more than an object, it is a promise, a memory in the making, a center of attention that will spark happiness every time it is worn.

Imagine this emerald at the heart of a custom design, surrounded by a delicate halo of high quality white diamonds to amplify its vivid green, creating a classic bridal piece that reads timeless, elegant, and deeply sentimental. For a romantic twist, pair the centerpiece with small rose pink sapphires or pink tourmalines set in warm 18 karat rose gold, the pink accents lifting the green into a tender harmony that speaks of love and shared moments. For modern drama, set the emerald in cool platinum with tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders to emphasize the emerald cut lines, the contrast of white metal sharpening the gem, giving a powerful, confident look. For those who desire a vintage feel, a milgrain detailed bezel in yellow gold with tiny old mine diamonds framing the stone will bring warmth and an heirloom quality, perfect for stories passed down through generations. Beyond rings, picture the same emerald as a pendant cradled by a diamond halo, or as part of a three stone ring flanked by two vibrant blue sapphires for a triad of ocean, forest, and sky. Each combination invites a distinct mood, allowing your custom piece to capture joy, to celebrate love, and to become a treasured reminder of a moment well lived. At The Natural Emerald Company I am here to help design the perfect setting that honors this emerald, and brings your vision to life.
