4.69 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Lapis Pair from Afghanistan

Imagine holding a sliver of midnight sky in the palm of your hand, a pair of cushions that seem to hold the hush of distant oceans and the promise of quiet, steady devotion. These are natural Afghan lapis, a matched pair, one at 2.37 carats, the other at 2.32 carats, each cut into a pillowy cushion tablet shape with measurements of 10.06 x 8.10 x 2.72 mm and 10.07 x 8.10 x 2.54 mm. The deep, intense blue of these stones is immediate and emphatic, a color so rich that it seems to sing, and yet soothing enough to carry day to day. The polish is excellent, every surface smoothed to a tactile perfection that invites touch, and the opaque nature of lapis gives it a presence that is at once bold and intimate. These gems are free of enhancement, untouched by dyes or treatments, and their Afghan origin speaks to a lineage of lapis that is celebrated for its classic, saturated blue and the authentic character only natural stones can possess.

When you present this pair as a gift, you are giving more than gemstones, you are offering a memory that will live through moments and milestones. Picture them set into a simple pair of stud earrings, a pair of cufflinks that whisper elegance at every gesture, or a delicate pendant set for a loved one who appreciates quiet luxury. The cushion tablet cut allows the blue to read broadly across a surface, making each stone a canvas for light, and the intense color creates an emotional response that feels like recognition, like finding the perfect word after a long search. These pieces carry subtle, natural inclusions that tell a story of the earth and the conditions that formed them, tiny signatures that make each stone singular and irreplaceable.
