2.79 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

In the heart of Zambia, nestled among the rich veins of the Kafubu River Basin lies the origin of a remarkable gemstone that embodies the beauty and elegance desired by connoisseurs and collectors alike. This transparent 2.79-carat asscher-cut emerald, with its distinct octagon shape and impressive dimensions of 8.39 x 7.67 x 6.19 mm, begins its journey in the mineral-rich soils where the delicate balance of temperature and pressure has nurtured its growth over millions of years. Zambia, renowned for producing some of the world's finest emeralds, bestows upon this gemstone its vivid green hue and distinguished clarity, making it a truly exceptional find in the world of gemstones.

The incredible journey from rough mineral to market-ready jewel begins with carefully planned mining operations that prioritize sustainability and efficiency in the heart of Africa.

Our commitment to ethical sourcing ensures that this emerald, like all our gems, upholds the highest standards of responsibility from mine to market.

The art of transforming this rough emerald into a stunning gemstone lies in the hands of expert cutters who specialize in the asscher cut, a distinct and elegant style known for its precision and timeless appeal. The asscher cut is particularly renowned for its step-cut facets, which create a brilliant, hall-of-mirrors effect that captivates the eye and enhances the natural beauty of the stone. It is a style that dates back to the early 20th century, revered for its combination of luster and geometric symmetry. Under the guidance of experienced artisans, the emerald undergoes a transformation, sculpted to reveal its maximum potential. The outcome is a gemstone featuring an excellent polish that reflects light and color in a way that can only be described as enchanting.
