A 4.3ct Pyramid of Vivid Green Light
$8,000.00
Between the sharp brilliance of a faceted cut and the softness of a cabochon lies the rare and historic Sugarloaf Cut. Resembling a sweet confection or a small pyramid, it offers a visual experience like no other: a curved dome from the top, a rounded triangle from the side, and a perfect square from above.
Favored by icons like Elizabeth Taylor and houses like Bulgari, this cut demands perfection. We present a magnificent 4.3ct Zambian Emerald in Vivid Green. Because the Sugarloaf cut hides nothing, the gem must be crystal clean. Set in 18k Gold, this piece transforms effortlessly from a statement ring to an elegant pendant.
“Horizontal ridges, side peaks, distinct from every angle.”
The Sugarloaf Cut is not just a shape; it is a lens into the soul of the gemstone. Legend says it originated from 12th-century Jordanian candy crafting or the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio. Unlike faceted stones that sparkle, the Sugarloaf maximizes the saturation and gelatinous texture of the gem. It requires a stone of exceptional color and clarity, as any inclusion is immediately visible. It is a bold, “Old Money” choice that highlights the gem’s natural beauty over artificial brilliance.
💎4.3ct Vivid Green: Only the most saturated gems deserve the Sugarloaf cut. This Zambian emerald boasts a “Vivid Green” hue that looks as deep and clear as the ocean—intense, pure, and mesmerizing.
✨The Unforgiving Cut: While standard cuts can hide flaws, the Sugarloaf exposes the heart of the stone. This gem is selected for its high clarity, allowing light to pass through its domed peak creating a soft, glowing aura.
🎨Convertible Masterpiece: Why choose between a ring and a necklace? This High Jewelry piece features a smart mechanism allowing you to detach the emerald centerpiece and wear it as a pendant, doubling its versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sugarloaf Cut gemstone?
A Sugarloaf cut is a type of cabochon with a four-sided pyramid shape and rounded corners. It has a flat base and a domed peak. It is a rare, vintage-style cut often found in Art Deco and High Jewelry collections (like Bulgari).
Why are Sugarloaf emeralds rare?
Because the cut has few facets to hide imperfections, the rough emerald material must be of very high clarity and intense color (Vivid Green) to look good. Most emeralds are too included to be cut this way.
