An No-Oil Emerald from Zambia Beyond Compare
The Story Behind the Award-Winning Emerald
“This recognition is a true honour,” says Mr. Rajesh Daga, owner of Fine Colour Gems. “Our 16.39-carat No-Oil Zambian Emerald represents the pinnacle of what we strive for—purity, perfection, and passion.”
Graded “Excellent” by Gübelin Gem Lab, one of the world’s most trusted authorities in gemstone certification, the emerald is notable for its vivid green hue, eye-clean clarity, and precise octagon cut. “It’s more than just a gemstone—it has depth, character, and a soul,” Mr. Daga adds.
Ethical Sourcing from the Heart of Zambia
Responsibly Mined and Carefully Selected
Sourced ethically from Gemfields, Zambia, in 2020, this rare emerald was hand-selected after months of careful evaluation. “We focused not only on beauty but also on the stone’s natural strength and purity,” explains Mr. Daga.
From mine to masterpiece, every stage of its journey was handled with meticulous care.
Fine Colour Gems upholds transparency, sustainability, and fair trade practices, ensuring that every gemstone reflects both natural beauty and ethical integrity.
Distinctive Qualities of our No-Oil Emerald
Colour, Clarity, Cut, and Rarity in Perfect Harmony
This 16.39-carat Zambian emerald is a true collector’s piece, combining qualities rarely found together in one stone:
Vivid, evenly saturated green colour that glows with life
Eye-clean clarity, unusual for natural emeralds
No-Oil, confirming absolute natural purity
Expertly executed octagon step cut, maximizing brilliance and symmetry
“Each of these traits would make an emerald special on its own,” says Daga. “But when all come together in one gem, the result is nothing short of extraordinary.”
Rising Demand for High Quality Zambian Emeralds
Emerald Gemstones as Investment-Grade Treasures
The global market for high quality Zambian emeralds is witnessing remarkable growth. According to Rajesh Daga, limited supply from emerald mines and increasing appreciation for quality emerald rough are the main factors driving up demand and value.
“With mining companies like Gemfields and Grizzly exploring deeper deposits, fine quality emeralds are becoming harder to source,” he notes. “Buyers today seek not just beauty, but authenticity and investment potential. No-Oil emeralds like this are seen as heirlooms—symbols of legacy and lasting value.”
Fine Colour Gems: A Legacy of Excellence
Commitment to Authenticity and Craftsmanship
For Mr. Rajesh Daga and his team, this award is more than recognition—it’s a reflection of their philosophy. “This emerald showcases everything Fine Colour Gems stands for—purity, craftsmanship, and respect for nature,” he shares proudly.
With every creation, the brand continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in ethically sourced, high-value Zambian Emeralds & top quality Tanzanites, trusted by collectors, investors, and jewellery designers worldwide.
