5.34 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This pear shaped green emerald is a rare and graceful expression of nature and history, a transparent 5.34 carat gem that carries both presence and refinement. Measuring 14.59 x 10.12 x 7.02 mm, the stone has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines the scintillation of modern faceting with the soft, elongated silhouette of a timeless teardrop. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity is very slightly included, a mark of authenticity that allows the gem to breathe with inner life, while its vivid color intensity announces itself with a pure, saturated green that seems to glow from within. The polish is excellent, placing every facet in perfect conversation with light, and the enhancement is standard, a traditional and accepted practice that preserves the gem while honoring its natural character. Sourced from Zambia, this emerald bears the geological signature of one of the world s most respected modern origins, and it arrives to you under the care and provenance standards of The Natural Emerald Company.

Emeralds have been prized across continents and centuries, serving as emblems of power, protection, and renewal, and this pear shaped stone is a continuation of that long human story. From ancient civilizations that set green gems into crowns and amulets, to the courts of Europe and the palaces of South Asia where long drops and teardrop ornaments became tokens of lineage, the pear shape has always suggested both elegance and narrative. The practice of oiling or otherwise enhancing emeralds to improve clarity stretches back hundreds of years, a gentle art that aligns with historical traditions of care, and the standard enhancement used for this gem is a subtle echo of those methods. Zambia s emeralds have their own chapter in the modern history of the stone, recognized for deep, vivid tones that can rival the legendary deposits of older fame, and choosing a Zambian gem is a choice to connect with contemporary mining that respects both geological heritage and skilled lapidary craft.

The mixed brilliant cut of this emerald has been chosen to marry color and light, the crown facets drawing extraordinary fire and the pavilion structure offering return of brilliance that accents the vivid green, while the pear outline creates a poised silhouette that flatters many settings. At 14.59 x 10.12 x 7.02 mm and 5.34 carats, the gem has real scale without overwhelming restraint, making it ideal for a single statement ring, a pendant that descends elegantly from the neck, or a pair of bespoke earrings that echo classical drop forms. The very slightly included clarity grade means the stone is visually clean to the naked eye, maintaining transparency that allows the viewer to see the depth and saturation of color without distraction. A masterful polish heightens this effect, presenting crisp facet junctions and a luminous surface that communicates both quality and care. Traditional settings in yellow gold will warm the green and reference centuries of classic design, white metals will offer a modern contrast that emphasizes brightness, and a halo of smaller diamonds can recall historical pieces where colored gemstones were framed by a constellation of white stones to signify status and refinement.
