0.27 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

A rare opportunity awaits the discerning collector, a jewel that speaks of faraway high valleys and of hands that have shaped something extraordinary for the few who truly seek singular beauty, The Natural Emerald Company is proud to present a transparent 0.27 carat round emerald that embodies exclusivity and refined taste. Sourced from Afghanistan, a storied origin known among connoisseurs for producing emeralds with character and soul, this gem measures 4.36 by 4.37 by 2.82 millimeters, and has been cut into a round shape with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement that maximizes fire and brilliance. With a clarity grading of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this emerald carries the authentic fingerprint of nature, a gentle reminder that rare beauty is not manufactured but revealed. The color intensity is medium intense, a vivid and alluring green that finds the perfect balance between depth and liveliness. The polish is excellent, resulting in mirror like facets that catch and return light with a lively sparkle. Enhancement is standard, applied with the care that preserves the gem’s integrity, and the overall presentation is of a piece that belongs to an elite collection, offered with the confidence of a trusted source, The Natural Emerald Company.

What makes this gem truly stand apart is its vibrant green, a hue that will arrest the eye in any jewelry setting, whether set in the most modern minimalist bezel or in a classic prong crown surrounded by diamonds. The medium intense color saturates the stone evenly, allowing the green to read as fresh and verdant under daylight, yet deep and mesmerizing in evening light, giving your chosen setting a dynamic presence. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to create scintillation and contrast, allowing flashes of color to dance across the crown while the pavilion facets return a steady tone of green that anchors the stone in elegance. From the face up view, the round shape presents a perfect focal point, ideal for solitaire rings where the stone’s green communicates quiet authority, for pendant designs where the color becomes a private signal of taste, or for delicate cluster settings where the emerald lends a jewel like halo color that elevates surrounding diamonds. Each jewelry design will benefit from the gem’s transparency, as light penetrates and refracts freely, producing that luminous green that good emeralds display, and ensuring that your piece becomes a conversation starting heirloom, not just an accessory.

The clarity profile of slightly included at eye level is a characteristic many collectors and fine jewelers prize, as it confirms the stone’s natural origin and offers a unique internal landscape that catches light in varied ways. These natural features, rather than detracting, add depth and individuality, ensuring that no two pieces are interchangeable and that your emerald carries its own story. The excellent polish enhances every facet junction, providing crisp facet planes that promote brilliant return of light and a highly finished appearance in any mounting. Standard enhancement has been applied with respect to preserving the gem’s natural color and stability, and our team at The Natural Emerald Company can provide full details on the treatment, so that you may make an informed and confident choice. This gem is small enough to be a delicate statement, yet its presence is outsized, as the vivid green and refined cutting make it a centerpiece rather than an afterthought. For custom commissions or for those seeking a one of a kind pairing, this emerald integrates seamlessly into bespoke designs, rewarding careful settings such as a low profile bezel for everyday luxury, a four prong mounting to maximize light entry, or a halo that contrasts white stones against the green for a sharp, museum quality aesthetic.
