In the heart of Zambian soil lies a hidden treasure that has captivated humans for centuries—the magnificent green emerald. The journey of this emerald begins deep within the earth, where ancient geological processes laid down the vibrant hues of this remarkable stone. The Zambian landscape is marked by rich mineral deposits, where tectonic shifts and natural forces have come together over millennia to nurture these spectacular gems. Mined responsibly by skilled artisans who understand and honor the earth that provides these jewels, our emerald emerges from nature's depths as a testament to the wondrous crafts of geology and human collaboration.

Once unearthed, the raw emerald is imbued with rich green tones that speak of the ancient emerald forests that once lay over the land. The stone makes its transition from a rough, organic form into a symbol of luxury and elegance through expert craftsmanship. This particular gem, weighing in at an impressive 3.14 carats, carries dimensions of 9.61 x 9.49 x 6.82 mm, lending it a robust and opulent presence. But the true beauty of the emerald is revealed through its geometric faceting, which is designed for maximum light play, allowing the gem to capture and reflect light in a dance of color and luminance.

Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this emerald exhibits a fusion of traditional and modern cutting techniques that enhance its innate beauty. The shape is round—symbolic of its timeless appeal and classic charm. The meticulous cutting process results in a stone that offers a vivid color intensity, where the nuances of green range from the deep allure of a lush forest to the vibrant freshness of new leaves in spring. This stone possesses an excellent polish, speaking to the skill and precision of our expert cutters, who have carefully worked to unleash its fullest potential.
