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

This matched pair from The Natural Emerald Company presents two transparent Zambian emeralds weighing 1.18 carats and 1.20 carats respectively, each fashioned in a classic oval shape to maximize face up color and presence. The stones measure 8.05 x 6.02 x 3.43 mm and 8.11 x 6.07 x 3.75 mm, sizes that are closely coordinated for balanced earrings or a matched pendant and ring set. Both gems are cut in a mixed brilliant style, a cutting profile that combines step cut pavilion facets with brilliant crown facets to enhance both color saturation and scintillation. Clarity is graded included at eye level, which is the trade standard for natural emeralds, and the gems are described as having intense color intensity with an excellent polish. Enhancement is standard, a commonly accepted clarity treatment in the trade that typically involves light oiling or similar filling to improve apparent clarity without compromising structural integrity. Origin is Zambia, a recognized source for vivid, cool green emeralds that often display a slightly bluish undertone, a characteristic that contributes to their appeal among knowledgeable buyers seeking strong, lively green hues.

When comparing this pairing to other gemstone sets, the primary advantage of a matched emerald pair lies in the consistency of hue, tone, and intensity, attributes that are often more difficult to achieve in mixed gemstone combinations. Against a diamond accent or a halo of white stones, these Zambian emeralds will read as vivid, saturated green, providing a striking, harmonious contrast that emphasizes the stones color rather than competing with it. Compared to pairs that mix different origins or gem species, this set offers superior visual coherence, since both stones share the same geological fingerprint and treatment history, which enhances their suitability for symmetrical settings. For the educated buyer who prioritizes color quality as the most significant factor in emerald valuation, these stones offer intense color and excellent polish, while the included clarity grade is consistent with natural, untreated inclusions that affirm origin and authenticity. For customers seeking guidance on setting options or certification, The Natural Emerald Company can provide additional documentation and bespoke mounting recommendations to ensure the stones achieve their fullest visual and investment potential.
