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

This matched pair of Burmese green jades offered by The Natural Gemstone Company comprises 4.23 carats and 4.15 carats respectively, with oval cabochon profiles measuring 14.16 x 10.14 x 3.49 mm and 14.22 x 10.27 x 3.36 mm. The stones are opaque, demonstrating a medium intense green hue with consistent saturation across the surfaces and minimal color zoning. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with inclusions distributed in a manner that does not disrupt the surface continuity or the perceived color uniformity. Cut as classic domed cabochons, the pieces exhibit controlled symmetry in outline and dome curvature, with proportions that optimize face up color and maintain low profile thicknesses appropriate for paired mounting. Polishing quality is excellent, yielding a smooth, lustrous finish that accentuates the even color and minimizes visible textural irregularities. Enhancement none. Origin Burma Myanmar.

From a lapidary and craftsmanship perspective, these jades reflect careful preforming and controlled doming to achieve matched optical response and tactile symmetry. The cabochon shaping prioritizes a central apex and gradual falloff to the girdle planes in order to maximize uniform light reflection and to avoid high points that could shadow adjacent areas in paired settings. Surface finishing employed progressive abrasives to refine the polish, culminating in a fine lapping stage that preserves the natural surface character of the jade while producing a resilient sheen. Dimension tolerances are within typical exacting standards for matched pairs, facilitating direct use in earrings or matching cufflinks without extensive further adjustment. The combination of medium intense color, very slightly included clarity at eye level, absence of treatment, and excellent polish renders these jades suitable for collectors and designers seeking authentic Burmese material with predictable behavior under mounted lighting conditions.
