3.29 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

The emerald is a gemstone that has captivated the admiration of jewelry enthusiasts and collectors for centuries. Our featured emerald, handcrafted by The Natural Emerald Company, is a prime example of why these precious gems hold such allure. Spanning 9.98 x 7.97 x 5.63 mm, this 3.29 carat transparent emerald is a masterpiece of natural beauty and expert craftsmanship. Its distinguishing feature is the emerald cut, a shape that showcases the stone’s depth and luster, maximizing its innate color and clarity. As light streams through the gem, it refracts brilliantly, rendering a stunning visual experience that is both timeless and elegant.

When assessing an emerald, the interplay between cut, clarity, and color significantly informs its overall value. The clarity grade of this particular emerald is labeled as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. This distinction is crucial for educated buyers, as clarity impacts transparency and brilliance. The inclusions, often referred to as the unique fingerprints of a gemstone, are minimal and do not detract from the stone’s beauty. In fact, they emphasize the emerald's natural origins, offering an unvarnished view into the geological history encapsulated within.

The medium intense color intensity of this emerald is particularly striking. Color intensity is a key determinant of an emerald’s quality, and this stone’s vivid green hue radiates with unparalleled vibrancy. This characteristic is often attributed to the trace elements of chromium and vanadium, which give the emerald its pronounced green shade. The Zambian origin of this emerald further enhances its profile, as Zambia is renowned for producing high-quality stones with exceptional color saturation. Mines in this region yield gemstones with an exquisite balance of rich green tones that appeal to both collectors and connoisseurs.

Our emerald’s excellent polish only adds to the allure. Achieving a high-level polish requires meticulous attention to detail by expert craftsmen, ensuring that every angle of the gem is finished to perfection. The smooth surface allows light to interact with the stone without any distortion, highlighting its natural beauty and enhancing its visibility from every viewpoint. At The Natural Emerald Company, we uphold the highest standards of quality, offering gemstones that are both exceptional in appearance and responsibly sourced. In acquiring this emerald, a buyer secures not only a piece of jewelry but a legacy gem with a narrative steeped in history and rarity.
