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

This exquisite pair of green jades from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a rare combination of size, natural origin, and superb finishing that stands out immediately. Individually the stones weigh 5.96 carats and 6.23 carats, and each is fashioned into a classic oval cabochon with dimensions of 13.99 by 9.97 by 4.61 millimeters and 13.96 by 9.93 by 4.79 millimeters respectively. The cabochon cut is ideal for these opaque jades, allowing the green tones to present evenly across the surface and highlighting the stones natural translucency and body color. At eye level these pieces are graded very slightly included, meaning they appear clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural character under magnification. The color intensity is medium intense, a flattering green that works beautifully in a wide range of jewelry designs, and the polish is excellent, providing a smooth reflective surface that gives the cabochons a luxurious luster without masking their natural texture. Importantly these jades are offered with no enhancement, and their origin is Burma Myanmar, a source long associated with some of the finest natural jade material available.

When you compare this pair to other jades on the market the advantages are clear. Many commercially available jades are dyed, impregnated, or otherwise treated to enhance color and clarity, which can artificially boost appearance but diminishes both long term value and authenticity. In contrast this Burmese pair is completely natural and untreated, which not only preserves the gemologists preferred standard of purity but also ensures that what you see is stable and will not change with exposure to light, heat, or cleaning. Compared to smaller or unevenly matched cabochons commonly sold for mass produced settings, these stones are notably well matched in weight, shape, and color balance, making them an excellent choice for a matched set of earrings or for a pair of cufflinks or matching pendants. The medium intense color provides a versatile green that is neither too pastel nor oversaturated, offering a natural elegance that pairs especially well with both yellow and white metals. The excellent polish distinguishes these cabochons from mid market pieces that often lack luster or show surface pits, giving these gems a refined presentation straight from the miner to the jeweler or collector.

From a value and design perspective this pair is superior for both collectors and makers when compared to typical commercial jades. Untreated Burmese origin material commands a premium over treated material because it carries provenance and authenticity that discerning buyers seek, and because untreated pieces tend to retain or appreciate in value better over time. In practical terms the sizes here nearly six carats each provide substantial visual impact without the bulk or weight that can complicate fine jewelry design, and the nearly identical dimensions make setting straightforward and balanced. For designers who require dependable matching in cabochon pairs, this set reduces the need for compromise or additional alteration. For collectors, the combination of natural origin, unenhanced status, and very slightly included clarity makes these stones a responsible acquisition that aligns with best practices in the market for transparency and quality. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the transparency of these attributes and can provide additional imagery, magnified detail shots, and documentation on request to ensure you can compare these jades confidently against other options.

If you are selecting stones for a bespoke commission or adding to a curated collection these jades offer a rare blend of natural beauty and market integrity that is hard to find among mass market alternatives. Consider settings that emphasize the cabochon silhouette, such as bezel or halo designs, which showcase the smooth domed surface and let the medium intense green read clearly from every angle. Because these pieces are unenhanced, routine care is simple, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and clean gently with mild soap and a soft brush or cloth.
