This stunning Zambian Emerald is incredibly bright and lively in the hand. Its rich green has a touch of blue, giving it its distinct color. Set in a 14k gold band, it's complimented by a twenty-two diamond halo and six diamond accented basket. 

I cut this Emerald in a design called "Omni-Oval" written by Robert Strickland. The high number of facets in this design work extraordinarily well with this beautiful stone.

Emeralds are known to have many flaws that are visible to the naked eye. This lovely Emerald has a few visible specks of carbon, noticeable in the magnified images above, but otherwise it is flawless. It's untreated and hasn't been oiled. The absence of fissures or cracking in this stone means it will not be as fragile as most Emeralds are known to be.
