**~10 ct Swat Valley Emerald Pendant – Translucent/Transparent – Minor Oil**

Ballpark **10 carat Swat Valley emerald pendant** with attractive natural green color and **translucent to transparent clarity**. The stone has **minor traditional oil**, which is standard for emeralds. The bail is on the smaller side, giving it a clean look.

The stone naturally **rests slightly diagonal**, showing **two different crystal faces**. Each face interacts with light differently, creating extra **shimmer and movement** as the pendant shifts. Photos were taken **under direct light in optimal conditions** to highlight color and internal character.

Emeralds are among the **“big four” gemstones** and are valuable because strong color with good transparency is rare.

I **source rough in Pakistan, cut the stones myself, and hand-wrap the pendants**, eliminating middlemen so my prices are hard to beat. This piece is **already in the U.S., so buyers avoid import taxes and customs delays** common with overseas emeralds.
