11.60 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Jade Pair from Burma (Myanmar)

This matched pair presents as 5.55 carats and 6.05 carats respectively, each fashioned into an oval cabochon with dimensions of 16.09 by 12.18 by 3.13 millimeters and 16.15 by 12.19 by 3.29 millimeters. The cutters have executed a low to moderate domed cabochon profile to preserve weight and emphasize the intrinsic color, producing well proportioned silhouettes with excellent bilateral symmetry and closely matched outlines. Surface finishing is of the highest order, with an excellent polish that yields a smooth, even luster across both stones, the polish enhancing surface reflectivity without obscuring textural character. Clarity is graded as very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, these natural inclusions being minor and typical for material of this type, and owing to the overall opaque body they do not detract from visual appeal. Color is classified as medium intense green, distributed consistently across the table of each cabochon with subtle zonal variation that is inherent to natural Burma Myanmar jade, the overall tonality remaining stable under standard lighting conditions. No enhancement has been applied to these specimens, the enhancement status is no enhancement, which preserves the material in its natural state and ensures long term stability.

From a gemological and practical perspective these jades are well suited for matched pair applications such as earrings, cufflinks, or complementary elements in a pendant and ring suite, the low domes facilitating bezel and flush settings while minimizing potential for impact. Origin is Burma Myanmar, and the material reflects the structural toughness and fine grain often associated with that source, lending itself to secure mounting and everyday wear when properly set. Craftsmanship considerations include the benefit of a tight girdle transition and uniform thickness which aid in achieving a secure mechanical setting, and the even polish and matched color assist in achieving visual cohesion in paired jewelry. For care and handling use only mild detergents and a soft brush, avoid prolonged exposure to high heat and harsh chemicals, and have settings periodically inspected to maintain security.
