0.27 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

A singular expression of refined taste, this transparent 0.27 carat emerald, cut in a classic emerald shape, measures 4.49 by 3.42 by 2.51 millimeters and commands attention with an intense green that seems to glow from within. The step cut lends a stately architecture to the stone, each linear facet reflecting light with a calm, sophisticated fire, while an excellent polish elevates the surface to a mirror like finish. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the clarity speaks to authenticity and natural character rather than flaw, and the standard enhancement maintains the stones integrity and stability. Sourced from Afghanistan, this emerald carries the rare provenance of old world deposits, a provenance that only deepens its narrative when presented by The Natural Emerald Company, where each gem is chosen for its harmony of color, cut, and presence.

Envision this gem at the heart of a custom creation, set in a delicate bezel of 18 carat platinum to heighten the emeralds cool, verdant tone, or in warm 18 carat yellow gold to create an arresting contrast that reads as bold and timeless. A halo of fine, single cut white diamonds will frame the center stone with scintillation, allowing the intense green to remain the focus while adding couture sparkle, or alternatively, a pair of tapered baguette diamonds on either shoulder will echo the emerald cut geometry and extend its elegant silhouette. For a more modern statement, flank the emerald with two petite, deep blue sapphires to create a regal triad, or pair it with soft pink spinels for a feminine, fashion forward juxtaposition. In a cocktail ring, a low gallery and secure prong construction will let light travel through the pavilion, maximizing color and depth. As a pendant, the gem will sit intimate to the skin, a private emblem of achievement. Each setting will be meticulously finished to match the stones polish and step cut lines, ensuring the final jewel reads as an heirloom quality piece, an unmistakable reflection of discerning taste offered by The Natural Emerald Company.
