6.88 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Pakistan

There are gemstones that speak in whispers of empire and ocean, of caravan and court, and this 6.88 carat emerald is one such whisper. Presented in a cushion shape and fashioned with a sugar loaf cut, this green emerald measures 13.30 x 9.83 x 9.64 mm, and displays a vivid color intensity that immediately draws the eye. Its clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing light to travel through the stone with a warm and living glow. The enhancement is standard, a traditional and accepted treatment that respects the integrity of the stone, and its origin is Pakistan, a source with a proud history for producing intensely colored emeralds. At The Natural Emerald Company we value the lineage of each stone, and this emerald is presented not only as a jewel, but as a continuation of a long and storied tradition.

Emeralds have been prized since antiquity, worn by rulers and philosophers alike for their verdant color and symbolic promise of renewal. The sugar loaf cut on this cushion shaped gem evokes that same classic aesthetic, a cut that softens the geometry and magnifies the luscious green while preserving an old world charm. The slight inclusions visible at eye level are not imperfections to hide, they are part of the emeralds character, the fingerprint of the earth and the passage of time. These natural features tell a story of formation deep in the crust, they affirm authenticity, and they are revered by connoisseurs for the way they interact with light to produce depth and complexity of hue. The cushion silhouette is timeless, a bridge between antique styles and contemporary design, allowing this emerald to be set in heirloom jewelry that honors tradition while remaining wholly wearable today.

Conscious collectors will appreciate that this emerald comes with provenance and an ethical sourcing narrative that is central to its value. At The Natural Emerald Company we engage directly with responsible miners and local communities in Pakistan, promoting transparent supply chains and practices that prioritize fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental stewardship. Standard enhancement is disclosed openly so that buyers may make informed choices, and each stone is handled with respect for both the people involved in its journey and the ecosystems that sustain mineral resources. Choosing this emerald is an affirmation of ethical taste, a decision to support practices that seek to preserve artisanal livelihoods and to minimize ecological impact, while acquiring a gem that will be treasured for generations.

This emerald fits perfectly into a conscious collection that favors legacy pieces with enduring beauty and documented origin. Its vivid color and open polish make it ideal for classic settings that emphasize the stone itself, such as a simple bezel to echo ancient aesthetics, a four prong mount that highlights the cushion outline, or a period inspired mount that pairs the stone with fine milgrain and modest pavé for a vintage statement. Practical care is straightforward, and will preserve the stone for decades. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme heat, clean gently with mild soap and a soft brush, and store separately from harder gemstones to prevent abrasion. For those who seek a jewel that blends historical resonance, responsible provenance, and wearable elegance, this 6.88 carat Pakistani emerald represents a rare convergence of values and beauty.
