0.31 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

This is a transparent 0.31 carat oval emerald that exemplifies the balance between collectible quality and practical size for custom jewelry, offered by The Natural Emerald Company. The stone measures 4.94 by 4.07 by 2.72 mm, with an oval outline that provides a classic silhouette while retaining efficient weight distribution for precision settings. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the pavilion facets enhance light return and scintillation, while the excellent polish ensures clean facet junctions and superior surface luster. Color is intense, a vivid green that is both saturated and well distributed across the table, which is especially important for small stones where color concentration can be easily lost. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning the inclusions are minor and do not materially detract from the gem when set, but they do confirm natural origin and authenticity, attributes discerning buyers appreciate. Enhancement is standard, in line with common and accepted industry practice for emeralds, and the documented origin of Afghanistan adds provenance that is increasingly valued by educated collectors and designers alike.

For custom jewelry design the dimensions and oval format make this emerald exceptionally versatile, it sits comfortably in delicate solitaire rings, three stone settings, halo surrounds, and as a focal accent in bespoke pendants or fine ear studs. The slightly elongated oval shape facilitates visual size increase on the finger and lends itself to east west or north south orientations for modern design language, while the mixed brilliant cut provides lively sparkle that complements both white and yellow metal settings. Because the gem is modest in carat weight but intense in color and well cut, it is ideal for clients seeking a refined and wearable center stone or a high quality accent that will integrate seamlessly into custom pieces without requiring oversized mounts. When you specify this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company you receive a gemstone that combines reputable origin, considered grading, and practical proportions, making it an excellent choice for thoughtful custom work and lasting design.
