1.18 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

Emeralds have carried the weight of history for millennia, revered by pharaohs, emperors, and artisans across continents, and this pear shaped cabochon embodies that same lineage of beauty and meaning. From the riverine treasures of ancient civilizations to the private collections of royal courts, the green of an emerald has always suggested renewal, authority, and quiet luxury. This particular gem, offered by The Natural Emerald Company, is a translucent 1.18 carat pear shaped emerald that measures 7.95 by 5.51 by 4.80 millimeters, and it arrives as a bridge between past and present. The cabochon cut softens the light into a gentle inner glow, a finish that has been favored for centuries when a stone’s color and depth matter more than brilliance alone. Its intense green color immediately captures the eye, while the excellent polish translates that color into a surface so smooth it seems to invite touch. To hold it is to feel connected to a tradition of craftsmanship that honors the natural character of the stone, rather than forcing it to conform to modern expectations of sparkle.

For the collector who values authenticity and story, the internal character of this emerald is part of its distinct charm. Clarity is graded included at eye level, which means that natural inclusions are visible under close inspection, confirming the gem’s natural origin and individuality, they give the stone a living texture and a map of its formation deep within the earth. The cabochon profile emphasizes color saturation and translucency, creating a luminous field of green that can appear to breathe as light moves across it. At 1.18 carat and with those harmonious proportions, this pear shape is perfectly suited to a timeless pendant, a classic solitaire ring, or a statement pair of drop earrings, designs that honor continuity and legacy. Standard enhancement has been applied, a customary practice to improve clarity while respecting the stone’s natural character, and the excellent polish ensures that every curve catches light with grace. When set in a traditional bezel or a refined prong mount, this gemstone will feel both heirloom and contemporary, a piece that looks as comfortable in a museum case as it does in daily wear.
