0.99 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Emerald Pair from Zambia

From the moment these two emeralds first formed deep within Zambia's ancient terrains, they began a long and patient story of pressure, mineral perfusion, and time. Nourished by geological processes that took millions of years, each stone offers a slightly different but harmonious expression of green, one weighing 0.47 carats and the other 0.52 carats. Their oval shapes were chosen to honor their natural proportions, and the mixed brilliant cuts were executed to open the stones to light while preserving the material we value most, their color. Measured at 6.05 by 4.12 by 2.83 millimeters, and 6.07 by 4.10 by 3.11 millimeters, the pair sits in balance as a matched set that will read beautifully in a pair of earrings or a bespoke companion set. At eye level they show a clarity grade of slightly included, a characteristic that attests to their natural origin and gives them a living, internal topology that catches light with a subtle, authentic depth. The color is a medium intense green, a tone that speaks of Zambia and its distinct emerald character, and the polish is excellent, a final touch that allows each facet to sing.

The Natural Emerald Company cares deeply about the journey these gemstones take from mine to hand, and our sourcing reflects a commitment to ethical practice at every step. We work with small scale and responsible mining partners in Zambia who follow safe labor standards, provide fair wages, and invest in local community infrastructure, healthcare, and education. We require traceability documentation that follows each parcel of rough from its point of extraction, and our supply chain is subject to third party audits to ensure compliance with environmental protections, responsible waste management, and progressive land rehabilitation where mining has taken place. These emeralds underwent standard enhancement to improve stability and appearance, a practice we disclose openly so that every customer understands treatment and value. Our cutters and polishers are selected for their skill and for their adherence to humane working conditions, and every facet of the finishing process is photographed and recorded so that the story of these stones remains transparent from the very first light they see in the earth to the final polished surface.
