2.61 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

One beautiful transparent 2.61 carat green emerald, cut in a classic emerald shape, measures 8.53 by 7.21 by 5.51 mm, and displays vivid color intensity with an excellent polish. Clarity is observed as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, resulting in exceptional transparency and minimal visible inclusions that do not detract from the stone brilliance. The emerald cut emphasizes the saturated green tone and depth of the gem, producing broad flashes of color across a well proportioned table while precise faceting yields crisp facet junctions and balanced light return. This specimen is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, a characteristic that preserves the original material properties and visual character. The combination of weight, proportions, color saturation, and finish make this emerald suitable as a centerpiece in a refined ring, pendant, or bespoke commission, where a protective setting will both highlight the cut and guard the stone in daily wear.
