1.09 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

This Afghanistan emerald arrives with a pedigree that speaks to the ancient rhythm of the earth and the long tradition of fine gemstone cutting, a legacy that The Natural Emerald Company is proud to uphold. We present a transparent 1.09 carat, emerald cut gem with dimensions of 7.04 by 5.14 by 3.82 mm, exhibiting a medium intense green that captures a classic, timeless hue favored by collectors and connoisseurs for generations. The emerald cut emphasizes breadth and depth of color while offering a restrained, elegant profile that pairs beautifully with traditional settings. With excellent polish and a standard enhancement, this stone shows a refined surface brilliance and stability that make it an ideal center stone for a solitaire ring or a heritage inspired pendant, a piece intended to be passed down as a family heirloom.

The internal characteristics of this gem are not imperfections to hide, but signatures to celebrate, small gardens and mineral veils that tell the story of its formation deep within Afghan terrain. Graded slightly included at eye level, these inclusions are the emeralds fingerprint, each pattern unique and contributing to the stone personality and authenticity. Inclusions can create subtle plays of light and texture that lend life to the green, and in this specimen they enhance the depth and character without diminishing its transparent appeal. The standard enhancement used is a traditional and accepted treatment that stabilizes and enriches the appearance while maintaining the natural origin and integrity of the gem. For those who appreciate antiques and classic designs, this emerald offers the perfect marriage of historical resonance and wearable elegance, a stone whose provenance and visible nature invite stories and admiration. At The Natural Emerald Company we guide collectors and clients through the nuance of clarity, color, and cut, ensuring that every choice reflects a respect for heritage and a keen eye for stones that endure through time.
