1.11 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

This exceptional translucent 1.11 carat oval green emerald from Pakistan is a refined addition to any high end gemstone collection, and it exemplifies the thoughtful sourcing and presentation that collectors seek. Measuring 7.77 by 5.29 by 4.39 millimeters, this cabochon cut gem displays an intense green color that immediately distinguishes it from many competitors, while its slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level gives it natural character without compromising its visual appeal. The excellent polish enhances the cabochon dome, allowing light to flow across the stone in a way that emphasizes depth and saturation rather than distracting from it. The stone has received standard enhancement, which is a widely accepted treatment in the market, applied to preserve the integrity of the material while improving stability and overall appearance. For discerning buyers who prioritize authenticity and aesthetic presence, this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company balances natural origin, careful finishing, and collectible quality.

Compared with faceted Colombian or Zambian emeralds of similar weight, this cabochon offers a different and highly desirable set of advantages for collectors who want rarity and presence in equal measure. Faceted stones tend to emphasize brilliance and scintillation, and while that is appealing in its own way, cabochons showcase color and translucency to dramatic effect, making them especially valuable when the color is as intense and even as this Pakistani example. Many market options are either heavily included to the point of diminished visual appeal, or they are so extensively treated that their natural characteristics are obscured. This emerald sits in a superior place between those extremes, with slightly included clarity that confirms natural origin and provenance, while excellent polish and careful cutting maximize the visual impact per carat. For collectors seeking pieces that read as both classic and uncommon, this green cabochon brings a look that is less replicated in mainstream jewelry offerings.

From a value perspective this emerald is a compelling purchase. Emeralds of intense green with pleasing translucency and good polish often command premiums when they combine these attributes in a wearable size, and at 1.11 carats this stone reads large for finger jewelry or a pendant, while preserving collectible appeal for cabinet display. Compared to lower grade stones from bulk markets, which may present with duller color or inferior surface finish, this gem benefits from quality finishing that increases its immediate desirability and resale potential. Compared to lab grown or heavily filled emeralds, the natural origin from Pakistan and the slightly included clarity speak to authenticity, which many collectors prioritize above short term cost savings. The standard enhancement applied here is entirely compatible with long term enjoyment, while the cabochon cut mitigates the visibility of internal features in a way that enhances wearability and aesthetic longevity.

At The Natural Emerald Company we curate gems that offer clear advantages to serious collectors, and this Pakistani cabochon is an example of that commitment.
