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

This matched pair of translucent green jades is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, each stone presenting precise measurements and verified provenance, 1.40 carats at 6.06 x 6.12 x 4.90 millimeters, and 1.47 carats at 6.33 x 6.33 x 4.47 millimeters. Both stones are round cabochon cut, exhibiting a classic dome profile with proportions that balance visual height and table presence, the domes supporting even light diffusion that emphasizes internal translucency and subtle color zoning. The color intensity is classified as light, with a consistent apple green tone across the pair, and the surface quality is described as excellent polish, yielding a smooth, waxy to lightly vitreous luster that is characteristic of high quality Burmese jade. No enhancement has been applied, and the stated origin is Burma, which informs expectations about texture, toughness, and the natural inclusion patterns that can be observed under magnification. The pair is closely matched for weight and hue, with minor natural inclusions that do not detract from their uniform appearance, these factors making them ideally suited for projects that require symmetry and fine finish.

For the creation of a lasting heirloom piece the technical characteristics of these cabochons inform the optimal setting and mounting strategies, a low bezel or collet setting will secure the dome without obscuring its profile, while a flush inner groove or reverse collet can provide additional mechanical retention for active wear. Given the light color intensity and high polish, a fine metal frame in 18 karat yellow gold will warm the tone, while platinum or white gold will emphasize the cool green, and a halo of calibrated melee diamonds set with tight pavé or bead technique will enhance perceived color saturation without competing with the stones primary presence. Precision matching in drill and seat angles is recommended if the pair is to be used as earrings, the slight difference in diameter can be compensated by asymmetric mount design or custom shank work to equalize visual balance. When fashioned into a pendant, consideration for crown clearance and a recessed gallery will protect the cabochon dome, and hand engraved or engine turned details on the bezel will convey the craftsmanship expected of an heirloom. Each step from setting choice to finishing technique should be documented to preserve provenance, and The Natural Gemstone Company can assist with detailed measurements and mounting recommendations to ensure a durable, museum quality piece.
