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

This pair of marquise green emeralds presents a balanced and refined statement of classic gemstone elegance. The stones weigh 1.71 carats and 2.14 carats respectively, and they display transparent clarity with an intense color saturation that communicates depth and vibrancy. Each gem has been cut in a mixed brilliant style to enhance light return and scintillation across the marquise outline. The polish on both pieces is excellent, creating smooth facets and crisp facet junctions that contribute to the stones apparent brightness and visual appeal. These attributes make the pair suitable for use as a matched set in a variety of fine jewelry applications, from companion stones in a ring to accent stones in a bespoke pendant or earrings.

Detailed proportions are provided to assist with design and setting decisions. The larger stone measures 12.21 x 6.60 x 4.24 mm, and the companion measures 12.19 x 6.90 x 4.98 mm. The dimensions confirm a symmetrical marquise profile with lengths that accommodate elongating settings and widths that provide stable surface area for secure mounting. Clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural emerald material and contributes to the stones character without compromising their overall transparency. Enhancement is standard, applied to improve stability and visual performance in a manner consistent with industry practice. Origin is Zambia, a source known for producing material with rich green tones and dependable optical properties.

At The Natural Emerald Company we prioritize responsible sourcing and the environmental context of every parcel we offer. These Zambian emeralds were acquired through supply channels that emphasize reduced environmental impact, careful site rehabilitation, and ongoing water management in the mine area. Mining partners engaged in the production of these stones implement practices intended to minimize land disturbance, preserve surrounding habitat where feasible, and restore worked areas through progressive rehabilitation. In addition, community engagement is a component of the sourcing model, and efforts are made to ensure that local labor benefits from employment opportunities, fair working conditions, and capacity building. Traceability is maintained through documented supply chain steps from mine to finished stone, enabling transparency about origin and handling.

Practical considerations for setting and long term care are straightforward. The marquise shape and mixed brilliant facet arrangement respond well to protective settings that shield the pointed ends, such as prong caps or bezel accents, and the dimensions provided allow precise seat planning for bezel, prong, or tension styles. Standard emerald care practices apply, including avoiding harsh chemicals, limiting exposure to extreme heat, and having settings inspected periodically to ensure stability. For design consultation or additional documentation regarding the sourcing and enhancement treatment, our specialists at The Natural Emerald Company can provide supporting information and imagery to assist in selection and placement. This pair of Zambian marquise emeralds combines natural character, technical refinement, and documented responsible sourcing to meet the needs of discerning designers and collectors.
