1.71 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Emerald Pair from Afghanistan

Introducing a stunning matched pair of natural emeralds from The Natural Emerald Company, perfect for a refined pair of earrings or a complementary pendant and accent piece. These emeralds weigh 0.83 carats and 0.88 carats respectively, and are fashioned as pear shaped green emeralds with a classic cabochon cut. The first gem measures 4.64 by 4.55 by 6.38 millimeters, and the second gem measures 4.74 by 4.69 by 6.44 millimeters. Both stones display vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that highlights the smooth domed surfaces typical of high quality cabochon cutting. The clarity grade is included, evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with the natural character of fine emeralds, and the enhancement is standard, a widely accepted treatment that enhances clarity while preserving the gem in its natural state. These stones are sourced from Afghanistan, an origin known for producing rich green emeralds with depth and character, and they arrive ready for design and setting.

Visually these pear shaped cabochons present a deep, lively green that reads as vivid and saturated in both daylight and warm indoor lighting, with a soft glow rather than the hard facets of a faceted stone. The cabochon cut gives a sensuous, tactile look with a reflective sheen across the domed surface, which emphasizes color and tone over brilliance. Inclusions are visible at eye level, which is normal for natural emeralds and often adds to their unique fingerprint and natural beauty. Because the polish is excellent, the surface reflects light cleanly, and the domed shape creates a soothing play of light and depth that suits classical and contemporary designs alike. The slight differences in weight and dimension between the two stones are harmonious, giving a balanced but organic pairing that is especially attractive when set in drop earrings or a complementary left and right arrangement.

For jewelry design these pear shaped cabochon emeralds lend themselves to elegant paired settings, where the matched yet naturally varied sizes can create a pleasing, asymmetric harmony. They are especially suited to bezel settings or half bezel designs that protect the edges while allowing the domed surface to read boldly. Consider pairing them with warm yellow gold for a traditional luxurious look, or with cool white gold or platinum for a more modern and refined contrast. These emeralds are also excellent candidates for custom designs that showcase their color, such as halo settings with small accent diamonds or simple pendants that allow the stone to be the focal point. With lengths of just over six millimeters in height they sit comfortably as drops without overwhelming the wearer, and their moderate carat weights make them versatile enough for daily wear or special occasion pieces.

Caring for cabochon emeralds is straightforward, and understanding their treatment history helps maintain their beauty. The standard enhancement noted for these stones is a common and accepted practice that improves clarity, and with appropriate care the treatment is stable and long lasting. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, and clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush, or have your jeweler use ultrasonic cleaning only if they advise it for your specific setting. Because these are cabochon cut, a protective bezel or secure prong setting will minimize the risk of chipping along the girdle, and routine inspections of the mounting will keep the stones safe over time. As natural included emeralds from Afghanistan, they carry a sense of provenance and artisanal history, and The Natural Emerald Company stands behind their authenticity and quality, providing detailed information about origin, enhancement, and appearance to help you make an informed choice.
