3.42 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This exceptional C.Dunaigre certified 3.42 carat emerald cut green emerald measures 10.14 x 8.06 x 5.56 mm, and it presents a textbook example of how excellent material, precise cutting, and responsible disclosure combine to produce a gem that appeals to educated buyers. The emerald cut emphasizes the stone's transparency and vivid color intensity, creating broad, even color planes that allow the gem to display its saturated green with excellent brightness. The clarity is graded eye clean at eye level, which means that under normal viewing conditions the stone shows no visible inclusions, a quality that is uncommon at this size and that significantly enhances both aesthetic appeal and market desirability. The polish has been evaluated as excellent, producing sharp facet junctions and crisp light return, and the reported enhancement is standard, with the nature and treatment disclosed on certification. Origin is Zambia, a source known for producing emeralds with lively, often slightly bluish green tones and notable transparency, a regional signature that informed buyers recognize and value. The C.Dunaigre certificate substantiates the gem's weight, cut, clarity assessment, enhancement status, and origin, providing the documentation that collectors and connoisseurs require for confident acquisition.
