3.69 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Beneath the Zambian soil where ancient rivers once carved their paths, this emerald began its long journey as a whisper of chromium and beryllium trapped inside crystallized veins of host rock. Miners working small concessions guided by generations of local knowledge found this crystal as a glint among the greenish slate, and from the moment it was lifted to daylight it held promise. At The Natural Emerald Company we honor that promise by tracing each stone back to its origin, and this transparent emerald carries the hallmark of Zambian terrain, a cool and vivid green that speaks of deep earth humidity and geological patience. ICA certified and authenticated, it is a 3.69 carat pear shape green emerald whose story is as important to us as its color, a narrative of careful extraction, responsible partners on the ground, and a commitment to preserving the natural character that makes Zambian emeralds so beloved.

From rough to refined this emerald was shaped by hands that balanced weight retention with optical performance, sculpting a pear silhouette that is both timeless and modern. Measuring 13.29 x 8.51 x 5.07 mm, the gem was fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to create a play of light that complements its intense color intensity, and the excellent polish brings forward an inner depth that only transparent emeralds can reveal. The clarity grade is included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone carries natural inclusions like fingerprints of the earth, each one a small map of its origin, and these inclusions are embraced as part of its identity rather than hidden. Enhancement is standard, a practiced and stable treatment that enhances durability and appearance while maintaining transparency and the stone s inherent vitality. As cutters and polishers worked, their decisions were made to maximize the emerald s luminous green, to preserve its character as a jewel that draws attention without shouting, and to ensure that when set it will both scintillate and offer that serene, deep glow that defines fine emeralds.

Imagine this pear shaped 3.69 carat Zambian emerald set at the heart of a design, its intense green demanding attention in daylight, and softly glowing under evening lights. In a classic solitaire setting mounted vertically the tapered point lowers the center of gravity, lending elongation to a hand or neckline, while a halo of fine diamonds will amplify the mixed brilliant cut s fire without overpowering its green heart. As a pendant the stone becomes a drop of forest light that moves with you, catching sunbeams and reflecting a spectrum of subtle greens, and as a center for a bespoke ring or pair of earrings the gem will stand out whether paired with warm yellow gold for a vintage inspired look, with cool white gold or platinum for a modern contrast, or with rose gold for an unexpected, romantic warmth. The emerald s transparency and excellent polish mean that settings which allow light to enter from multiple angles will best showcase its brilliance, and designs that respect the stone s natural inclusions will highlight the narrative of origin that discerning collectors and wearers appreciate.
