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

This matched pair consists of two transparent green emeralds, weighing 1.32 carats and 1.20 carats respectively, presented in a fancy elongated form. The measurements are 11.51 x 3.84 x 3.51 mm for the larger stone and 11.35 x 3.72 x 3.44 mm for the smaller, providing a close visual match in length, width, and depth. Both stones are double cabochon cut, which in this instance produces smooth, slightly domed facets on both faces and a refined pointed profile at one end, delivering an elegant elongated silhouette. The cutting approach preserves weight while enhancing the stones natural transparency and internal glow, and the proportions are consistent between the pair for coordinated mounting in matched jewelry applications.

Color and clarity attributes are primary considerations for these stones, and they display a vivid green color intensity with saturated hue and good color uniformity across each gem. Clarity has been graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, indicating that no inclusions are visible to the unaided eye under normal viewing conditions. This combination of vivid color and eye clean clarity is notable for emeralds, and contributes to strong visual appeal. The polish has been assessed as excellent, producing a smooth reflective surface and lively light return. Enhancement is declared as standard, consistent with common industry practice for emeralds, and the origin is Afghanistan, which contributes to the stones characteristic tone and saturation.

From a design and setting perspective these emeralds are well suited for matched drop earrings, paired pendant accents, or as paired elements in custom jewelry where elongated shapes are desired. The close dimensional match and similar visual appearance make them suitable for symmetrical designs, and their transparency and polish allow them to read as a cohesive pair when set side by side. Given the pointed profile and cabochon styling, recommended settings include secure bezel or partial bezel mounts that protect the ends, and settings that minimize exposure to knocks at the narrow tip. Metals such as yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, or platinum will complement the vivid green, and the choice of metal can be made to either enhance warmth or provide contrast depending on the design intent.

Care and handling are important to preserve the appearance and integrity of these gems, and I recommend avoiding extreme heat, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic or steam cleaning, particularly when the stone has received enhancement treatments. Routine maintenance can be accomplished with mild soapy water and a soft brush, followed by gentle drying with a lint free cloth, and periodic professional inspection is advised to ensure the settings remain secure.
