14.81 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Zambia

One transparent emerald weighing 14.81 carats is presented, oval in shape, with dimensions of 18.76 x 14.86 x 7.01 mm, cabochon cut, originating from Zambia, offered by The Natural Emerald Company. The gem displays a vivid green hue that is uniformly distributed across the table and dome, and the surface exhibits an excellent polish that enhances surface reflection and overall brilliance. The cabochon profile has been executed with smooth, even curvature, providing consistent light return and a rich, saturated appearance from multiple viewing angles. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is typical for natural emeralds of this size and color intensity, and the stone has undergone standard enhancement in keeping with industry practice.

Optical and material characteristics are described precisely, the transparency of the stone allows internal features to be observed without compromising the vivid visual impact, and inclusions are present but do not materially distract from the overall color or surface presentation. The vivid color intensity is a defining attribute, combining depth and saturation that is rare at this weight and dimension for an oval cabochon, and the even color distribution supports use in settings where uniformity of tone is required. The excellent polish contributes to a smooth, glasslike finish, and the cabochon cut accentuates the stone’s color and body tone while minimizing the visibility of internal features. Enhancement described as standard is consistent with clarity enhancement methods commonly used to stabilize and improve visual clarity, and any such treatments have been applied to meet accepted gemological standards.

Practical considerations for design and setting are straightforward, the dimensions allow for use in a prominent ring, a pendant, or a bespoke jewelry piece where a substantial cabochon presence is desired, and the oval outline lends itself to classic and contemporary design languages. Given the slight inclusions noted at eye level, secure bezel or partial bezel settings provide both protection and a complementary design frame, while open gallery work can be used when a lighter mounting is preferred, depending on the final design intent. For provenance and quality assurance, the origin of Zambia is recorded, and the stone is offered with full disclosure of weight, dimensions, cut, clarity assessment, polish quality, color intensity, and enhancement status, in accordance with The Natural Emerald Company standards.
