3.11 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

The remarkable 3.11 carat emerald cut emerald that we offer stands as a testimony to the grandeur of geological artistry. Precisely formed over millions of years beneath Zambia's resilient terrain, this gemstone comprises the alluring intersection of time, pressure, and Earth's intricate mineralogical processes. Its dimensions, at 10.09 x 7.84 x 5.22 mm, reveal a substantial presence that is both commanding and refined, reflecting the permanence and allure of emeralds through the ages.

This emerald's journey to its current magnificent form began deep within the ancient geological structures of Zambia. Under immense pressure and heat, trace amounts of elements such as chromium and vanadium intertwined to impart this gemstone with its resplendent green hue. Over the course of eons, tectonic activities and the cooling of hydrothermal fluids allowed these elements to crystallize, giving birth to a stone whose color intensity is classified as nothing short of intense, a vivid portrayal of nature's palette perpetuated through time.

Expertly fashioned into an emerald cut, this gemstone showcases symmetrical step-cut facets that enhance its structural beauty. Designed to maximize the interplay of light and the purity of its color, the cut exemplifies both sophistication and heritage, a cut often reserved for the finest emeralds. Although it possesses a slight degree of inclusions, evaluated at eye level, these natural characteristics merely affirm its authenticity and remind us of the dynamic conditions under which it was created.

The clarity of the emerald, graded as slightly included, further serves as an illustration of its natural origin. These minuscule inclusions do not detract from the gemstone's allure but rather narrate the tale of its formation under Earth's awning. Matched with an excellent polish, prerequisites of high-standard craftsmanship transform this emerald into a beacon of elegance. The careful polishing brings forth an impressive sheen, highlighting both its intrinsic qualities and the meticulous skill employed in its finishing.
