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

This matched pair of translucent green jades from Burma, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, presents precise measurements and natural characteristics that will appeal to a discerning buyer. The stones weigh 1.29 carats and 1.37 carats respectively, and measure 6.06 x 6.05 x 4.39 mm and 6.11 x 6.09 x 4.56 mm, round in outline and finished as classic cabochons. Color intensity is described as light green, with an even tone and pleasing translucency that allows light to penetrate and produce a soft internal glow. Surface finish is excellent, the polish reflecting the quality of lapidary work that preserves the smooth domed profile typical of cabochon cutting. Internally the jades display fine texture with only minor natural inclusions consistent with gem quality Burmese jade, and importantly no enhancement has been applied, which enhances their market value for collectors and makers who prioritize natural, untreated material.

From a grading and sourcing perspective these pieces reflect the attributes that educated buyers seek in jade, especially material originating from Myanmar, where high quality jadeite is traditionally found. Evaluation for jades emphasizes color, translucency, texture, and treatment status rather than the same clarity metrics used for faceted gemstones, and these stones score well for homogeneity of color and smoothness of texture. The lack of enhancement is particularly significant, as many commercial jades undergo stabilization or bleaching and polymer impregnation, treatments that affect durability and value. For jewelry design these cabochons are highly versatile, suitable as a matched pair for stud or drop earrings, as accent stones alongside a center gem, or as focal beads in a low profile bezel set ring or pendant. Their near uniform size permits symmetric settings, or creative asymmetrical designs given the slight weight difference, and they respond beautifully to warm yellow gold for classical looks, or white metals for contemporary contrast. Customization options include bead drilling for stringing, mounting in closed or open back bezels to adjust light transmission, or pairing with small accent diamonds or colored gemstones for halo or cluster settings. These qualities make this pair a reliable choice for designers and collectors who value authentic provenance, consistent cutting standards, and untreated Burmese material.
