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

This matched pair of Burmese green jades from The Natural Gemstone Company presents as cabochon cut, round domes, with precise dimensions of 6.06 x 6.12 x 4.90 millimeters at 1.40 carats and 6.33 x 6.33 x 4.47 millimeters at 1.47 carats, respectively, and a light color intensity that reads as fresh apple green under neutral lighting. The cabochon style here emphasizes translucency and body color rather than faceting, the lapidary having executed a well-centered, symmetrical dome profile with an excellent polish that yields crisp surface reflections and minimal facet echoes. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, these inclusions appearing as minute internal specks rather than fractures, and they do not materially interrupt the visual field of color when the stones are set. Importantly, these jades are unenhanced, natural material from Burma Myanmar, which contributes to both provenance and long term value, and their inherent toughness makes them suitable for secure bezel or flush settings that protect the girdle and maintain silhouette integrity.

From a design and heirloom perspective these stones are ideal for a paired application where longevity and continuity of design matter, such as a set of stud earrings, a matched pendant and ring combination, or a doublet-style signet and cufflink ensemble intended to be passed through generations. The slight size and weight variance is within typical matched-pair tolerances and can be used deliberately in asymmetrical contemporary designs or balanced in classic paired settings, the smaller dome placed toward the face and the marginally larger dome reserved for a pendant focal point. Recommended settings include low-profile bezels in 18 karat yellow gold to warm the green, or platinum for a modern contrast, with the bezel’s internal seat drilled to accommodate the precise dome height so the table is presented flush and secure. For conservation, avoid ultrasonic cleaning and harsh acids, opt for mild soap, soft brush, and occasional polishing with a jeweler’s cloth to retain the excellent surface polish. With measured dimensions, documented weights, natural Burmese origin, unenhanced status, and restrained, high-quality lapidary execution, this pair constitutes a technically sound foundation for a bespoke heirloom piece that will retain both aesthetic and material integrity over generations.
