Natural Zambian Emerald – 3.91 ct
Dimensions: 10 × 9 × 5 mm • Cut: Emerald • Lightly oiled
✨ Gemmological description
This natural emerald comes from Zambia, an origin now firmly established on the international gemstone market. Zambian emeralds are recognised for their intense green colour, sometimes with a slight bluish nuance, as well as a crystal structure that is generally more homogeneous than that observed in other producing regions.
Light oiling is a traditional treatment, common and accepted in the emerald trade. It aims to improve the appearance of natural growth fissures without altering the colour or composition of the stone. A treatment level described as minor indicates limited intervention, consistent with international professional standards.
💎 Interest and positioning
At close to 4 carats, this emerald sits in a category of stones particularly appreciated for bold jewellery creations. The emerald cut, developed specifically for this gem, showcases the colour while respecting the internal structure of the crystal.
The combination of a substantial weight, a recognised origin and a moderate treatment makes it a stone well suited to a bespoke jewellery project where clarity and gemmological balance are sought.
💍 Use in jewellery
This emerald is particularly well suited to:
Yellow gold, white gold or platinum settings are traditionally favoured to underline the emerald's green hue, while providing suitable protection for this gem, which is naturally sensitive to knocks.
