3.46 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Imagine holding a moment of pure joy, a touch of the earth that sings with color and memory, a 3.46 carat treasure that is ready to become part of your most meaningful stories. This cushion shape green emerald measures 9.06 x 9.03 x 6.86 mm, and it has been cut in a mixed brilliant style to capture light with lively sparkle and depth. The clarity is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which gives the stone natural character and an honest presence while remaining beautifully transparent. The color intensity is vivid, a deep verdant green that invites admiration, and the polish is excellent, creating a smooth and lustrous mirror on every facet. Enhancement is standard, as is common among fine natural emeralds, and the origin of this exceptional gem is Zambia, a source known for producing gems that combine rich color with thoughtful sourcing.
