Zambia is one of the most important emerald-producing countries in the world – and for good reason. Zambian emeralds are celebrated for their deep, rich green with a subtle bluish undertone that lends them a distinctive depth. Not a bright, grassy green, but one that seems to emanate from within the stone itself.
This 1.31-carat emerald is cut in an octagonal shape – the classic form for emeralds, and no coincidence. The step-cut faceting holds light in a calm, even manner that allows the color to speak fully, without fragmenting it. At 6.87 × 5.19 mm, the stone carries a pleasing presence – compact, but far from inconspicuous.
Many inclusions are present. In emeralds, this is not a flaw – it is nature. The so-called jardin, the inner garden of inclusions and growth traces, has been part of this gemstone's identity for centuries. No two emeralds are alike, and it is precisely this inner uniqueness that has captivated collectors and lovers of fine gems throughout history. The GLA certificate confirms origin and quality.
For those who seek a genuine emerald with real character – and who understand what character means in this stone – this is it.
