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

This matching pair of green jades presents a concise and transparent set of gemological specifications that will interest the discerning buyer. The stones weigh 3.75 carats and 4.21 carats respectively, and each is cut into an elegant oval cabochon with measurements of 13.98 x 9.98 x 3.12 mm and 13.94 x 10.01 x 3.54 mm. The cabochon cut emphasizes depth of color and surface lustre rather than faceted sparkle, which is appropriate for fine jade where translucency and texture are prized. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that minor internal features are present but do not detract from the overall appearance or structural integrity. Color intensity is described as intense, which, together with an excellent polish, creates a vivid and glossy surface. No enhancement has been applied to these stones, and their stated origin is Burma Myanmar, a source historically associated with high quality jade specimens. These objective facts provide a clear baseline for appraisal and comparison, and they allow an educated purchaser to assess provenance, treatment status, and intrinsic quality with confidence.

From a design perspective these two ovals create a balanced and eye catching composition that works equally well in classic and contemporary jewelry forms. The slight difference in carat weight provides a natural asymmetry that can be used to add visual interest without disrupting harmony, for example in a pair of drop earrings where one stone sits slightly higher than the other for a dynamic yet coordinated effect, or in a pendant and companion stud set where scale variation enhances focal contrast. The smooth cabochon surface and intense green color lend themselves to settings that frame the stones with either warm metal tones to accentuate the richness of the green, or cool tones to emphasize modern minimalism. The proportions 14 by 10 mm are versatile, large enough to be a clear focal element on the finger or neck, yet low profile enough to remain comfortable for daily wear. Excellent polish ensures strong highlights and a silky sheen, so set as cabochon bezel or open back mounts the stones will exhibit strong surface reflections and an even color distribution that captures the eye from multiple viewing angles.

For the educated buyer these jades represent both aesthetic merit and sensible value considerations, starting with the fact that they are natural and untreated, which is an important determinant of long term collectibility and market preference. Burmese provenance is noteworthy because the geological formation there often yields jade with compact texture and attractive color saturation, characteristics that informed buyers associate with higher desirability. The very slightly included clarity at eye level confirms internal features are minimal, and the precise dimensions and carat weights allow jewelers to plan matched settings with predictable yield. When assessed as a pair the stones offer an immediate design advantage, simplifying the creation of matched earrings or two piece sets that maintain consistent color harmony and surface quality. From a practical standpoint recommend setting these cabochons in secure bezel or low profile collet settings to protect the high polish and to preserve their natural state. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the provenance and description of these pieces, and can provide further documentation on request. For anyone seeking a refined, balanced, and eye catching pair of natural Burmese jades these stones combine visual appeal, trustworthy gemological attributes, and design flexibility that will satisfy both aesthetic and investment minded buyers.
