0.51 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

When you are searching for a gemstone that finishes a design rather than competes with it, you want clarity in both the stone and the decision you are making, and this 0.51 carat princess shape green emerald answers that need with distinction, clarity, and personality. Transparent and precisely cut to dimensions of 4.60 x 4.59 x 3.84 mm, this princess cut emerald balances brilliant geometry with a soft, living green that reads immediately to the eye as authentic and alive. The clarity grade is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that under normal viewing the stone presents a clean face free of distractions, and under magnification it reveals the tiny natural story lines that make genuine emeralds so appealing to collectors and connoisseurs. The vivid color intensity is rare in a gem of this size, offering the deep, saturated green that people instinctively associate with classic emerald beauty, while an excellent polish ensures each facet reflects with crispness and sparkle rather than dullness. Enhancement standard, origin Afghanistan, and the provenance that comes with a gem from a respected source all combine to make this piece a confident choice for anyone seeking a jewel with both soul and technical quality.

Imagine this vivid green princess emerald set into the exact piece you have been dreaming of, and you will see why this gem stands out in any jewelry setting. The square symmetries of the princess cut create an internal play of light that emphasizes the stone color instead of dispersing it into rainbow flashes, so the green remains the star whether the setting is a minimalist solitaire or an elaborate halo. In white gold or platinum the contrast will be modern and striking, the cool metal pushing the green to pop with crystalline clarity, while in yellow or rose gold the warmth of the metal will make the emerald glow with an almost vintage richness. A low profile bezel will protect the delicate corners while showcasing the clean face of the stone, and a classic four prong or double prong head will allow maximum light to enter the table and bring forward the vivid tone. For a more contemporary effect place this princess cut at the center of a three stone design where tapered baguettes will channel light inward, or let it speak as a single statement studded into a bespoke ring, pendant, or pair of earrings that highlights the precise geometry and intense chroma. The size and proportions at 4.60 x 4.59 x 3.84 mm make it versatile for finger, ear, or neck, sitting confidently on the hand as a memorable accent or anchoring a fine engagement design with personality and enduring color.
