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

This matched pair of natural jades from Burma, Myanmar presents a technically refined offering for designers who prioritize material integrity and cutting precision. The stones weigh 7.40 carats and 7.76 carats respectively, and are fashioned into classic oval shapes with dimensions of 15.98 by 11.93 by 5.25 millimeters, and 15.93 by 12.14 by 5.45 millimeters. Both stones are cabochon cut, exhibiting a smooth convex dome and a well proportioned basal plane, with an excellent polish that yields clean specular reflections across the surface. Color is described as greenish blue with dark intensity, and the uniform saturation across each dome demonstrates consistent material quality. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with inclusions discrete and non distracting when set. There is no enhancement, confirming natural color and structure, a characteristic that preserves the gemological and investment value of the pair as supplied by The Natural Gemstone Company.

From a cutting and optical performance perspective these cabochons have been executed to emphasize body color and to minimize the appearance of internal features. The oval outline is tightly controlled for symmetry, and the dome profiles are calibrated to enhance the greenish blue hue, reducing light wash that can occur with overly shallow cabochons. The thicknesses in the 5.25 to 5.45 millimeter range provide sufficient depth to maintain dark color intensity without sacrificing the stone s ability to capture and reflect light from the surface. The excellent polish contributes to a smooth, glass like finish that improves tactile quality and elevates light return, while the absence of any evidence of dyeing or polymer impregnation allows the intrinsic translucency and texture of the jade to remain legible to trained eyes. For craftsmen, these attributes translate to predictable behavior under different lighting scenarios, and a reliable palette for matching to metals and accent stones.

In bespoke jewellery applications the size and matching quality of this pair make them highly adaptable, particularly for paired settings where symmetry and balance are paramount. At approximately 16 by 12 millimeters these cabochons are ideal for stud or drop earrings, for mirrored accents in a cuff or ring set, or for companion pieces in a bespoke pendant and ring combination. The consistent thickness supports secure bezel engagement and rim settings, while the oval proportions allow for standard mounting templates without extensive reengineering, reducing production lead time for custom work. Designers will appreciate the near equivalence in weight and dimension, enabling precise pairing and minimal corrective adjustment during setting. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to provide the pair with full provenance information, high resolution imagery for client approval, and guidance on setting tolerances to ensure the stones integrate seamlessly into luxury bespoke projects. For connoisseurs and makers seeking a dark, saturated greenish blue jade pair with certified natural origin and meticulous cutting, this set represents a technically sound and aesthetically versatile choice.
