1.68 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

Presenting a beautiful translucent green emerald from The Natural Emerald Company, a 1.68 carat cushion shaped gem with dimensions of 8.16 by 7.58 by 4.02 millimeters, cut as a cabochon to showcase its color and internal character. This emerald displays a medium intense color intensity that reads as a vivid, pleasing green under mixed lighting, and it carries a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a typical and honest reflection of natural formation. The surface finish is an excellent polish that gives the cabochon a smooth, satiny sheen and a lively play of light across its domed face. Enhancement is disclosed as standard, the widely accepted and industry-standard treatment for emeralds, and the stone’s origin is Pakistan, a region known for producing vivid green material with attractive character. As a representative of The Natural Emerald Company I emphasize these specific, verifiable details so you can make an informed decision about how this gem will perform in your chosen design.

Looking closely at this cabochon, you will notice the emerald’s translucency that allows a gentle internal glow rather than the full transparency of a faceted gem, and this quality is particularly desirable in cabochons where depth of color and surface reflection are the primary attractions. The slightly included clarity reflects natural internal features often described as jardin, small fissures and tiny mineral inclusions that add personality and confirm the natural origin, while the excellent polish helps minimize the visual impact of those inclusions from a distance. The cushion shape and the exact measurements mean the stone has a comfortable face-up presence for a center in a ring or the focal point of a pendant, and the 4.02 millimeter depth gives the gem good durability when set in protective styles. The cabochon profile softens the appearance of any internal structure, producing a warm, glowing surface that suits vintage and contemporary jewelry alike, and the medium intense color provides a lively green that photographs well while being flattering on the finger or at the throat.

For design and wear, this emerald is versatile and particularly well suited to settings that protect the domed surface while showcasing its color, such as a low bezel or a secure channel with a minimalist halo to frame but not overpower the green. Yellow gold will warm the green and create a classic look, rose gold will give a romantic, modern twist, and white gold or platinum will emphasize the stone’s purity and cooler undertones, making the medium intensity appear slightly brighter. The cabochon cut invites softer, organic designs, as well as striking contrast with small brilliant-cut diamonds that enhance the perceived color without competing for attention. Care is straightforward but important, clean the gem with mild soap and lukewarm water and a soft brush, avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners because of the standard enhancement and natural fissuring, and keep it away from harsh chemicals and extreme heat. Periodic inspection by a qualified jeweler will confirm that the setting remains secure and that any oiling treatments remain stable, a normal part of long-term care for natural emeralds.
