3.72 Ct. Emerald from Nigeria

The emerald, a gemstone steeped in history and revered for its exquisite beauty, has long been a symbol of wealth, power, and elegance. Among the many emeralds that allure the discerning collector, our highlighted piece stands out—a transparent 3.72 carat emerald cut green emerald. This magnificent gemstone, with dimensions of 11.20 x 6.74 x 6.08 mm, embodies both the artistry of nature and the unrivaled skill required to craft a stone of such perfection. Emeralds, unlike many other gemstones, possess a unique allure due to their mesmerizing color and natural inclusions, which are considered part of their character and charm.

Emeralds hold a distinctive position in the hierarchy of precious stones because of their captivating green color. This particular emerald showcases a light color intensity that allows for a playful dance of light within the stone, offering a subtle yet enchanting brilliance. Compared to more common gemstones such as amethyst or citrine, whose vibrant hues are often opaque, the transparency of this emerald draws attention, making it truly exceptional. Our emerald's emerald cut enhances its lustrous facets and its magnificent appearance, elevating it above everyday gems in terms of both rarity and visual appeal.

In terms of clarity, this emerald achieves a grade of very slightly included, indicating only minor inclusions that are visible at eye level. These include natural characteristics that form within the earth over millions of years, telling a story that enhances the stone's inherent value. They do not detract from its beauty but instead add depth and dimension. The excellent polish of the emerald ensures that its surface reflects light with unmistakable brilliance, heightening its overall allure. When placed beside a diamond with similar carat weight, this emerald may reveal a comparable sparkle but offers a unique charm and sophistication that distinctively set it apart.

The origin of this emerald from Nigeria contributes additional significance and value. Nigerian emeralds are valued for their vibrant color and relatively high transparency. This combination signifies not just the geological conditions required to form such gemstones but also the meticulous extraction and cutting processes emphasizing sustainability and craftsmanship. The Natural Emerald Company takes pride in curating gemstones from established origins known for adherence to ethical practices. Each piece tells a story not just of geology, but also of the dedication to quality that defines our brand.

When considering the acquisition of such a gemstone, educated buyers recognize that value extends beyond mere carat weight.
