1.10 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

There is something deeply reassuring about a gem that carries both the weight of the earth and the quiet dignity of time, a stone that reads like a page from a long and cherished story, rather than a fleeting fashion. This translucent green emerald, a cushion shaped cabochon from Pakistan, sits comfortably within that tradition. It offers a medium intense green that speaks of fertile valleys and ancient trade routes, a color that feels both familiar and rare. In cultures that have treasured green gems for millennia, such an emerald would be chosen not only for its beauty, but also for its promise of continuity, a token to be passed down through the generations. At The Natural Emerald Company we honor that lineage, and we present this piece as an emblem of continuity, a small but resolute heirloom ready to be set into a ring, a pendant, or kept as a treasured specimen in a personal collection.

Beyond sentiment, this emerald is a study in considered proportion and classic lapidary craft. It weighs 1.10 carat, with dimensions of 7.12 by 6.37 by 3.73 mm, a size that balances presence with wearability, suited for designs that celebrate the stone itself. The cabochon cut smooths and amplifies the gem's inner glow, creating a surface that catches the eye without demanding reflection from facets. This shape draws attention to the stone s internal character, including its slightly included clarity as evaluated at eye level, which to the connoisseur reads as evidence of natural origin and geological story. The medium intense color intensity offers a verdant saturation that is lively without overwhelming, and the excellent polish gives the dome a lustrous finish that feels warm to the touch. The enhancement is standard, a typical and accepted treatment in the trade, applied to ensure the gem s appearance is stabilized and ready for setting, while preserving its essential nature and provenance. When you hold this cushion cabochon, you will notice how the translucence allows light to move within the stone, revealing layers of depth and subtle internal textures that are the hallmark of an authentic natural emerald.

There is a timelessness in choosing a piece like this, an understanding that beauty is most enduring when it is rooted in history and craft. Pakistani emeralds have been admired for their distinct character, and this stone carries that regional voice with quiet confidence. It is ideal for designs that honor tradition, such as a classic bezel setting that follows the cabochon s silhouette, or a minimalist pendant that allows the gem to read like a talisman worn close to the heart. For those who prefer a more ornate direction, the gem s size and color lend themselves to vintage inspired frames that reference centuries of jewelry making, creating a dialogue between ancient techniques and contemporary taste. At The Natural Emerald Company we work with clients to envision settings that respect a stone s story, recommending metals and styles that highlight translucence and color while ensuring the gem is protected for daily wear and for passing along as an heirloom.

Owning this 1.10 carat cushion cabochon is an invitation to join a continuum of appreciation that stretches back through history, a mindful choice that places value on legacy over trend.
