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

This matched pair of oval green jades presents precise specifications that will appeal to discerning buyers, the left stone weighs 4.23 carats and measures 14.16 by 10.14 by 3.49 millimeters, the right stone weighs 4.15 carats and measures 14.22 by 10.27 by 3.36 millimeters. Both stones are cabochon cut with a classical low to medium dome profile, the cabochons are proportioned to emphasize even color distribution across the surface while maintaining a stable girdle thickness for secure setting. The material is opaque with medium color intensity, showing consistent mid green saturation without detectable treatments, enhancements are none, origin is Burma, Myanmar. The polish is excellent, producing a tight, glassy luster that indicates careful lapidary work and a finely controlled final abrasive sequence.

From a technical perspective, the cabochon shaping reveals attention to symmetry and optical balance, the domes are gently rounded rather than sharply peaked which minimizes culet shadowing and enhances the perception of color depth under direct light. The slightly differing thicknesses are compensated by nearly identical face dimensions which results in a visually matched pair when mounted, useful for earrings, cufflinks, or a matched pendant duo. The absence of enhancement eliminates concerns about dyeing, polymer impregnation, or heating, and the Burmese provenance is consistent with the dense, even texture observed under magnification. Surface examination at 10x reveals minimal surface reaching inclusions, mostly fine mineral specks, these do not compromise structural integrity and are masked by the opaque body color.

For setting recommendations choose bezels or low prong layouts that follow the oval outline closely, this protects the relatively thin pavilion while showcasing the broad table and high polish. Care instructions include gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap, avoiding ultrasonic or steam cleaners which can risk embedded fissures in natural jade material.
