2.66 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This 2.66 carat, emerald cut green emerald carries the weight of centuries of admiration, a gemstone form that has graced royal signet rings and classic jewels since antiquity. At 9.09 x 7.06 x 5.32 mm, this transparent, faceted gem presents an impressive table and elegant step facets that celebrate the timeless geometry of the emerald cut. Its intense color intensity commands attention, while the clarity graded as slightly included evaluated at eye level gives the stone an authentic personality that speaks to its natural origin in Zambia. The excellent polish brings a refined brilliance to the facet planes, allowing the deep green hues to breathe with every movement. The enhancement is standard, a customary treatment that improves durability and clarity in a way that is widely accepted by connoisseurs and lapidaries, preserving the gem s inherent character rather than masking it.

For bespoke jewelry this emerald is an ideal canvas, its size and shape lending themselves to a range of classic and heirloom designs. The elongated emerald cut offers a flattering profile for a solitaire ring that looks both regal and restrained, and it adapts beautifully to a three stone or halo composition where its step facets contrast with brilliant side stones for a sophisticated interplay of light. As a pendant the proportions sit elegantly against the neckline, and in cufflinks or a signet inspired piece the stone asserts a dignified presence without overwhelming the design. Because the dimensions allow for secure bezel settings as well as prong work that showcases the table, the gem is perfectly suited to custom settings that balance protection with maximum visibility. At The Natural Emerald Company we appreciate the enduring appeal of such a stone, and our craftsmen can advise on mounting techniques that honor its origin, polish, and natural inclusions while creating a piece meant to be cherished across generations. If you are seeking a center stone that combines historical resonance with practical versatility for custom design, this Zambian emerald is an exceptional choice.
