1.28 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

This exceptional translucent 1.28 carat pear shape green emerald is offered exclusively by The Natural Emerald Company, a singular piece that embodies rarity and quiet magnificence. The gem measures 9.17 by 5.97 by 3.53 millimeters, and its cabochon cut presents a smooth, domed surface that captures and diffuses light with a soft, velvety glow. At eye level the clarity is slightly included, an honest and characterful attribute that confirms the stone is natural, and the polish is excellent, delivering a satiny finish across every curve. The color intensity is classified as intense, a deep and resonant green that reads luxurious without overpowering, and the enhancement is standard, applied with techniques that preserve the gem's integrity and enduring beauty. Because Pakistani emeralds are encountered far less frequently on the market than stones from more heavily trafficked sources, this emerald arrives as a discreet and coveted rarity, suitable for discerning collectors who seek a jewel that feels both refined and singular.

When comparing hue and tone to Colombian emeralds, this Pakistani piece leans into a slightly cooler and more crystalline green, with an edge of mineral clarity that offers an almost dewy translucence. Colombian stones are often celebrated for their pure green hue with a lively, verdant tone, and this emerald shares that purity while presenting a marginally cooler undercurrent that reads as sophisticated and modern. In contrast to Zambian emeralds, which frequently carry a deeper, more forest like tone with pronounced blue undertones, the Pakistani example favors a brighter mid to deep green that feels luminous rather than heavily bluish. Brazilian emeralds can range widely from yellowish greens to olive tones, and against those, this cabochon exhibits a cleaner, more focused green, without the warmer notes that sometimes soften Brazilian material. Afghan and Panjshir emeralds are known for their saturated, vivid greens and crystalline transparency, and this Pakistani gem occupies a nearby but distinct position, offering intense color without the overtly electric saturation, resulting in a tone that is elegant and timeless.

Owning this pear shape cabochon from Pakistan grants access to a private echelon of gemstone collectors, a rare opportunity that The Natural Emerald Company presents with discretion and care. The cabochon form, with its polished dome, invites settings that celebrate the gem as a sculptural focal point, ideal for bespoke pieces intended to be conversation starting heirlooms, and the slightly included clarity is a storyteller of origin and authenticity, an assurance that this stone has lived in the earth and bears the gentle signatures of geological time. For clients accustomed to Colombian brilliance or Zambian depth, this emerald offers a sophisticated alternative that balances intensity with a softer luminosity, and for those who favor Brazilian versatility, it proposes a more pure and cooler green. At The Natural Emerald Company each gem is curated for its individuality, and this Pakistani cabochon is available in strictly limited quantity, a single stone that will be placed into one distinguished commission or private collection at a time. For a private consultation regarding bespoke mounting options, provenance documentation, and to arrange a confidential viewing, The Natural Emerald Company stands ready to provide personalized service, ensuring that this emerald is presented with the discretion and reverence its rarity deserves.
