4.20 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Owning a truly exceptional emerald is a rare privilege, reserved for collectors who understand the language of color, cut, and provenance, and this transparent 4.20 carat oval shape green emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is just such a jewel. At 13.00 by 9.29 by 5.76 mm it presents a commanding presence that reads larger than its carat weight might suggest, its vivid color intensity announcing itself with a deep, saturated green that is unmistakably Zambian in character. The stone has been fashioned into a mixed brilliant cut, combining the scintillating fire of brilliant facet arrangements with the classic grace of an oval outline, and it displays an excellent polish that allows light to dance freely across its surface. With a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this emerald retains the natural hallmarks that make emeralds unique, inclusions that affirm its authenticity while remaining unobtrusive to the unaided eye. Enhancement is standard, performed in a manner that preserves the stone’s intrinsic beauty and durability. For those who seek a gem that speaks of refinement and rarity, this emerald is a statement piece that will elevate any collection, and it is available only in limited quantity through The Natural Emerald Company.

What distinguishes this emerald as a true centerpiece is the exceptional cut and consequent brilliance, the way each facet has been thoughtfully proportioned to maximize light return and to emphasize the vivid green that is the gem’s defining attribute. The mixed brilliant cut used here marries the brilliance of modern facet geometry with the elegance of traditional oval symmetry, producing lively scintillation across the crown and a deep, luminous glow from the pavilion. The excellent polish enhances facet clarity and edge definition so that when the stone is set it will sing under both natural and artificial light, becoming the focal point of any jewelry design. Slight inclusions, characteristic of natural emeralds and visible only upon close inspection, contribute to the gem’s story and do not detract from its overall radiance. The stone’s proportions, including its pleasing length to width ratio and well controlled depth at 5.76 mm, make it especially suited for prominent settings such as solitaire rings, dramatic pendants, or bespoke high jewelry pieces where the cut and brilliance can be showcased. Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate how the facet arrangement accentuates the color, creating zones of vivid green interlaced with flashes of brilliance, ensuring that this emerald commands attention as the central element of any creation.
