1.18 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

This pear shape, translucent emerald from Pakistan presents a rare combination of size and color for a cabochon cut. It weighs 1.18 carat, and measures 7.95 x 5.51 x 4.80 mm, dimensions that are uncommon for cabochon emeralds with strong clarity and depth of tone. The stone exhibits an intense green color intensity, evenly distributed across the surface, and an overall translucency that allows light to modulate the hue without revealing excessive cloudiness. Clarity is graded included at eye level, consistent with natural emerald characteristics, and the cabochon form has been executed to preserve color saturation rather than maximize faceted brilliance. The polish is excellent, rendering smooth, reflective surfaces that emphasize the gem body color and internal textures, while standard enhancement has been applied in accordance with industry practice.

In the context of comparable material, this specimen stands apart in two respects. Many cabochon emeralds of similar weight can display either lighter, less saturated color, or heavier concentrations of inclusions that reduce translucency, or both, while rarer examples approach this emeralds balance of intense color and usable clarity. The pear shape intensifies the perception of depth at the wider end, and provides a graceful orientation for a pendant or a drop style ring setting, the form also facilitating creative designs that showcase the vivid green. Pakistan as the stated origin contributes to its distinct character, and the combination of origin, color intensity, and cabochon sizing is not commonly available in the current market for natural emeralds. For collectors and designers looking for a strong green tone in a gem that is discreetly translucent rather than fully transparent, this item occupies a narrow segment of offerings.

The Natural Emerald Company documents this stone with full technical specifications, and assistance is available to discuss certification options, recommended settings, and care. Given the included clarity grade and standard enhancement, cleaning by gentle soap and warm water is advised, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals to preserve any enhancement and the cabochon surface. The gem is well suited to a bezel or protective setting to reduce impact risk at the pointed end, and its polished cabochon surface will age well with routine care.
