0.82 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

If you have been searching for a singular gem that resolves the balance between everyday wearability and museum quality beauty, this transparent 0.82 carat emerald from Afghanistan is the answer you have been seeking, and The Natural Emerald Company is proud to present it to you. This emerald cut stone measures 8.40 by 4.16 by 3.15 millimeters, offering an elegant elongated silhouette that flatters almost any design, from classic solitaires to contemporary east west rings and bespoke pendant creations. With a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the gem reads with exceptional transparency and internal life, while its medium color intensity provides a vivid but wearable green that suits both casual and formal settings. The cut has been expertly executed to emphasize the stone s internal glow, and an excellent polish ensures that each facet catches the light and returns it as a lively green flash. If your priority is a stone that feels special the moment you see it, yet remains practical for daily wear and custom design, this emerald finishes your search.

Beyond the measurements and laboratory notes, imagine the ways this emerald can resolve your design needs and aesthetic goals. The emerald cut offers clear step facets that create a hall of mirrors effect, which is ideal for someone who prefers refined geometry and graceful lines over high brilliance. For an engagement ring, this shape sits beautifully on a slim band, making a 0.82 carat stone appear larger than its weight suggests, while retaining a sophisticated and timeless profile. For collectors or connoisseurs who value origin and story, the Afghanistan provenance adds a layer of rarity and character that pairs well with bespoke settings that allow the stone to breathe. The medium tone of the green harmonizes with yellow gold for warmth, with rose gold for a vintage feel, and with platinum or white gold for a modern, chic contrast. The standard enhancement applied to this stone is consistent with best practices in the trade, and the treatment has been carefully performed to maximize the appearance while preserving structural integrity and longevity.
