0.94 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Afghanistan

This translucent 0.94 carat cushion shape green emerald measures 5.75 by 5.65 by 4.30 mm and presents a sugar loaf cut that emphasizes depth and luster. The gem displays vivid color intensity with an even distribution of tone across the table, and the surface shows an excellent polish that enhances brilliance and surface reflection. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, offering visible natural character without compromising overall visual appeal. Enhancement is standard, consistent with conventional clarity enhancement treatments for emeralds, and the origin is Afghanistan, a source known for finely colored stones. The combination of a compact carat weight, pleasing proportions, and a domed sugar loaf profile results in a gem that reads richly in color while remaining practical for a range of wearable designs.

The stone adapts well to multiple jewelry settings due to its balanced dimensions and durable presentation, and The Natural Emerald Company can provide guidance for optimal mounting solutions. For rings, low bezel settings provide security and protect the domed crown, while open bezel or flush installations can preserve the cushion silhouette for everyday wear. For bespoke solitaire or three stone designs, a partial bezel combined with discreet prongs maintains the stone profile while offering retention and light return, and a halo of tapered accent stones can enhance perceived size without altering the emeralds natural color. For pendants and earrings, a simple bezel or capsule setting showcases the sugar loaf curve and ensures secure handling, and foiled or open backed mounts can be considered to influence perceived saturation and brilliance. In custom creations where the stone must sit flush with metal, minor recutting options are available to refine pavilion proportions, and our team can supply exact measurements and proposed mount drawings to confirm fit prior to fabrication.

Clients working with The Natural Emerald Company receive technical information about weight, dimensions, cut style, clarity level, enhancement type, and origin to support design decisions, and we collaborate with jewelers to select metals, setting styles, and protective measures appropriate to the gem profile. The result is a tailored setting that leverages the emeralds vivid color and polished surface while ensuring structural integrity and long term wearability.
