1.09 Ct. Aquamarine from Mozambique

A transparent 1.09 carat emerald-cut blue aquamarine, sourced from the renowned gemstone-rich regions of Mozambique, represents an exquisite choice for discerning collectors and jewelry aficionados. With dimensions of 7.26 x 5.13 x 4.04 mm, this particular aquamarine exemplifies a balance between size and manageability, ensuring it retains its elegance when set in jewelry. An essential aspect of this stone's allure is its emerald cut, a sophisticated shape that significantly enhances its natural properties of light reflection. Originally developed for emeralds, this type of cut involves a series of parallel facets, emphasizing clarity and delivering a unique play of light exclusive to stones of such mastery.

The clarity grade of this aquamarine is rated as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning it possesses minuscule inclusions barely visible without magnification. This level of clarity is an important characteristic for thoughtful buyers who appreciate gemstones as nature's untouched art. The clarity works in harmony with the emerald cut to optimize light performance, creating an elegant 'hall of mirrors' effect inside the stone. When light enters, it bounces internally along the step-cut facets before radiating spectacularly from the surface. This phenomenon amplifies the aquamarine's serene, ocean-like blue hue, making it captivate anyone who beholds it.

Color intensity plays a crucial role in determining an aquamarine's value, and this gem possesses a very light color intensity indicative of its unique, delicate appeal. The aquamarine's blue color is a quieter, more subtle tone, offering a sense of sophistication and grace. Unlike stones marked by intense saturation, a softly hued aquamarine like this can serve as a versatile choice for various jewelry designs, providing understated luxury that complements rather than overwhelms any ensemble. The stone's color, coupled with its delightful clarity and cut, characterizes a perfect synergy of nature and craftsmanship, enhancing its desirability among knowledgeable buyers.
