0.37 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

From the highland veins of Afghanistan to the careful hands of our master cutters, this pear shaped green emerald carries a quiet story of place and people, a living fragment of earth refined into a jewel. Mined by artisanal teams working in small, responsible operations, this emerald began as a crystalline promise in rock that local miners revealed with care and respect for the land. At The Natural Emerald Company we prioritize relationships that support fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental stewardship, and we document the stone's origin and standard enhancement so you may know its journey. The rough was selected for its transparency and intense green, then sent to cutters who bring decades of experience to the mixed brilliant cut, shaping a 0.37 carat pear that measures 6.69 x 4.21 x 2.64 mm. The result is a gem with excellent polish, lively facets that play with light, and a clarity graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a characteristic that affirms its natural formation and adds to its unique personality.

For the conscious collector this emerald fits like a promise kept, a statement of beauty that aligns with ethical intention and enduring style. Its intense color intensity reads as a vivid, wearable green that complements both minimalist settings and heirloom designs, making it ideal as a center stone for a delicate pendant, a refined ring, or an elegant pair of bespoke earrings. The standard enhancement used is common and fully disclosed, preserving the stone's natural character while enhancing stability, and our provenance from Afghanistan is verified through our chain of custody practices. When you choose this gem from The Natural Emerald Company you are choosing transparency, traceability, and a connection to communities whose livelihoods are tied to the land. We welcome you to imagine this pear shaped emerald nestling into a design that speaks to your values, and we are available to discuss mounting suggestions, certification details, and care recommendations so that this beautiful, responsibly sourced emerald becomes a cherished piece in a conscious collection.
