2.94 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Emeralds have been treasured across civilizations for millennia, symbols of renewal, sovereignty, and enduring beauty. This C. Dunaigre certified emerald offered by The Natural Emerald Company embodies that timeless legacy in a form both classical and refined. Cut into an asscher-octagon silhouette measuring 9.02 by 8.45 by 5.76 millimeters, its step facets recall antique craftsmanship while allowing a contemporary brilliance to emerge. The vivid green hue is unmistakable, a saturated, lively color that speaks to the rich soils of Zambia from which it was sourced. With an excellent polish and a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone presents a transparency and depth that collectors and connoisseurs will recognize instantly. The presentation is completed with standard enhancement, applied with the care and ethical standards our clients expect.

What truly elevates this gem beyond its visual allure is its substantial weight, a precise 2.94 carats, a scale that places it in a rare and coveted category for natural emeralds of this quality and cut. Nearing the three carat mark, this asscher-cut emerald carries a weight that meaningfully increases both its scarcity and its long-term value, particularly when paired with such vivid color intensity and superior polish. The asscher-octagon shape enhances the perception of size, offering a broad table and elegant step facets that make the most of every millimeter. For those who prize provenance, the Zambian origin and C. Dunaigre certification provide documented assurance of authenticity and quality, factors that matter significantly in valuation and legacy. Whether set as the centerpiece of a heritage ring, heirloom pendant, or bespoke commission, this 2.94 carat emerald is more than a gemstone, it is a piece of history preserved in green, ready to be passed forward with the confidence and expertise of The Natural Emerald Company.
