0.35 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

A luminous fragment of the earths ancient story is embodied in this transparent 0.35 carat round emerald, a gem that speaks to tradition as much as to beauty, sourced from the storied deposits of Afghanistan. Measuring 4.90 x 4.89 x 2.85 mm with a mixed brilliant cut, this stone balances classical form with modern cutting precision, allowing light to dance through its intense color intensity and reflect off an excellent polish. Evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of slightly included, the tiny natural inclusions are a visible signature of authenticity, marking this emerald as a natural treasure rather than a laboratory reproduction. The standard enhancement is consistent with long established practice, and it preserves the stones depth and saturation while honoring its natural character. At The Natural Emerald Company we prize such examples for their capacity to connect present moments with generations past, the deep green tone recalling imperial jewelry, ancient talismans, and the reverence for emeralds that has endured across cultures and centuries.

This gem is small in size, yet immense in legacy potential, an ideal cornerstone for a piece meant to travel through time and family lines. Set in a traditional solitaire ring or a classic bezel pendant, the round shape and mixed brilliant faceting will ensure the stone remains the focal point for decades, ready to be worn at weddings, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations. Care and provenance will cement its status as an heirloom, a certificate of origin from Afghanistan and a simple history of ownership included in its presentation creating the narrative that future heirs will cherish. Practical stewardship will protect its beauty, routine gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap, periodic inspection of the mounting, and safe storage away from harsh chemicals and extreme heat will preserve the vivid green and excellent polish. Because emeralds can be recut and reset without losing their essence, this 0.35 carat round gem is not only a beautiful jewel for today, it is a living legacy for tomorrow, a carefully chosen element of family heritage offered with commitment and expertise by The Natural Emerald Company.
