2.55 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This transparent, Other certified Zambian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company weighs 2.55 carats and measures 9.66 by 6.13 by 5.59 millimeters. The stone exhibits an intense green color, an emerald cut outline, and a clarity grade of slightly included when viewed at eye level. The cutting and finishing parameters include an excellent polish and no enhancement, preserving the natural character of the material. The rectangular emerald cut with clipped corners yields a clean face up presentation, the internal features and natural inclusions are consistent with untreated Zambian material, and the overall dimensions give a substantial visual presence relative to its weight, making the gem suitable for classical ring settings or bespoke jewelry where proportion and color are primary considerations.

The emerald cut is a step cut that enhances this stone’s inherent properties of light reflection by emphasizing broad, flat facets and long, parallel facet lines that act as reflective planes. Instead of producing a dispersed scintillation like brilliant cuts, the step faceting creates deep, even flashes of light and a hall of mirrors effect that reveals the stone’s color saturation and internal structure with clarity and depth. The modest table and well controlled pavilion depth balance light return and color concentration, so the intense green appears even and stable across the face, while the excellent polish maximizes crisp internal reflections and clean facet junctions. Because there is no enhancement, the cut is calibrated to showcase the natural intensity rather than mask it, allowing the step facets to direct light into and back out of the body color, enhancing perceived saturation. The result is an elegant, measured brilliance that highlights the emerald’s color depth and transparency, renders inclusions in a manner that can be aesthetically integrated into the stone’s character, and provides strong reflective planes that suit both contemporary and traditional mounting styles.
