This extraordinary natural emerald is a rare offering from The Natural Emerald Company, a gem selected for discerning collectors and custom jewelers who seek pieces of true character and presence. We present a single transparent 4.02 carat emerald, fashioned in the classic emerald cut to showcase its deep, pure green. The stone measures 11.71 x 8.83 x 4.94 mm, a size and profile that translates with graceful authority into central ring settings, striking pendants, or bespoke brooch designs. Its vivid color intensity captures attention without artifice, while the excellent polish ensures a refined surface that accentuates each facet plane. This emerald carries a clarity grade of included, evaluated at eye level, a candid expression of natural formation that conveys provenance and personality, rather than concealment. Enhancement is standard, performed to stabilize and present the gem with integrity, and its origin in Zambia aligns it with a lineage of gemstones prized for saturated, lively green tones. For those who seek uncommon quality and exclusivity, this emerald is offered in limited presentation, each stone curated and available only in small quantities through The Natural Emerald Company.

The emerald cut complements the stone by emphasizing color depth and controlled light return, producing a luminous table and elegant step facets that reveal the gem as a window into its inner character. Because the stone is transparent with included clarity, the internal jardin is visible in a way that tells the story of the crystal and the earth that produced it, a narrative many collectors value above flawless sterility. The excellent polish enhances facet junctions and edge crispness, delivering refined reflections that make the vivid green appear alive across viewing angles. At 4.02 carats and with dimensions of 11.71 x 8.83 x 4.94 mm, the gem offers a substantial presence without overwhelming classic setting proportions, and it translates beautifully to designs that balance modern minimalism with timeless elegance. The standard enhancement applied is a responsible industry practice that stabilizes the stone, ensuring durability in everyday wear, while preserving the Zambian color character that is both deep and luminous.

When set in jewelry this Zambian green becomes a master of color harmony, complementing a wide spectrum of skin tones in unique ways, creating looks that feel custom and intimate. On fair skin tones the vivid green reads as a jewel tone that brings warmth to cool complexions, providing contrast that brightens the face without appearing harsh, a perfect choice for a solitaire ring or a pendant worn close to the skin. On light to medium skin tones the stone integrates gracefully, where the green appears rich and saturated, offering a luxurious pop of color that can be amplified by yellow gold settings to enhance warmth, or paired with white metals for a refined, contemporary aesthetic. For olive and tan complexions the vivid green sings in harmony, resonating with natural undertones to create an elegant, almost organic unity, a look that is particularly compelling in halo settings that add brightness while allowing the core green to remain dominant. On deep skin tones the emerald attains regal intensity, where the vivid color provides luminous contrast and depth, especially when mounted in yellow gold which amplifies warmth, or in rose gold for a softer, romantic glow, while platinum or white gold settings give a striking, modern counterpoint that accentuates the gem as a centerpiece of bold luxury.
