3.57 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Zambia

This listing describes one transparent 3.57 carat cushion shaped green emerald, measuring 8.75 by 8.74 by 6.59 millimeters. The gem has a sugar loaf cut, presenting a distinctive domed profile that concentrates color saturation toward the center and yields a soft play of light across the pavilion. Color is classified as intense, with rich medium to deep green saturation and a well balanced tone that reads uniformly across the table. Clarity is graded included, evaluated at eye level, reflecting internal features that are visible without magnification but consistent with natural emerald character and origin. The emerald displays excellent polish, with smooth, mirror like facet surfaces and well defined edges that enhance luster and wearable appeal. Enhancement is noted as standard, consistent with conventional trade practice for emeralds, and the stone is sourced from Zambia, a locality known for producing strong green material with good transparency and attractive color.

From a gemological and practical perspective this emerald is well suited to jewelry where the sugar loaf form can be showcased, including bezel settings, closed back pendants, and designs that accommodate the stone height and cabochon like dome. The cushion outline and measured proportions offer a classic silhouette that works in both contemporary and traditional settings. Standard enhancement indicates that routine care precautions are advisable, avoid prolonged exposure to heat and harsh chemicals, refrain from ultrasonic or steam cleaning, clean with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush, and consider periodic inspection by a qualified jeweler to monitor the integrity of any enhancement and the mounting. The combination of intense color, transparent body, and excellent polish makes this stone attractive for collectors and designers seeking a natural Zambian emerald with authentic character. The Natural Emerald Company provides this gem with full disclosure of origin and enhancement, and can assist with additional services such as mounting recommendations or bespoke setting options upon request.
