1.18 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Afghanistan

One transparent 1.18 carat fancy shape green emerald, dimensions 7.05 x 6.31 x 4.25 mm, double cabochon cut, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, excellent polish, enhancement standard, origin Afghanistan. The gem exhibits a rich, saturated green with even color distribution across the surface, and transparency that allows light to transmit softly through the stone. The double cabochon cut presents gently domed faces on both sides, a form that emphasizes color depth and yields a smooth, tactile surface well suited to protective settings. The excellent polish provides a clean, reflective finish that complements the vivid tone and enhances perceived depth, while the fancy shape offers design flexibility for both traditional and contemporary mounting styles.

The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates minor natural inclusions consistent with fine emeralds, inclusions that do not materially detract from the visual appeal or the stone’s transparency in standard viewing conditions. Enhancement standard has been applied in accordance with common industry practice, and contributes to stability and aesthetic improvement while remaining discrete. Given its 1.18 carat weight and 7.05 x 6.31 x 4.25 mm dimensions, this emerald is well suited to be the focal point in a bespoke ring or pendant, and it can also perform attractively in a pair of matched settings for earrings when paired with complementary stones. For secure wear and long term preservation, settings that offer edge protection, such as bezels or partially enclosed prongs, will support the cabochon profile and reduce exposure to knocks.
