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

Among collectors and connoisseurs there are pieces that simply announce themselves as rare, and this matched pair of Burmese green jades is such a discovery. We present two oval cabochons, 4.97 carats and 3.82 carats respectively, each hand selected from a small group of exceptional rough to ensure the most harmonious pairing possible. The larger stone measures 14.04 by 9.94 by 4.20 millimeters, while its companion measures 13.73 by 9.73 by 3.31 millimeters, dimensions that reflect a careful commitment to balance rather than uniformity. Both stones display a medium intense green that reads as lively and refined against the light, with a clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, and an excellent polish that gives each cabochon a glasslike sheen. These jades have not undergone any enhancement, their surface and color entirely natural, and their origin traces to Burma Myanmar, a source long revered for producing some of the world’s finest jade. At The Natural Gemstone Company we do not simply list gemstones, we curate them, and this pair is reserved for a collector who values provenance, authenticity, and the rare pleasure of owning an untouched natural treasure.

True rarity is achieved in the details of selection and the disciplined hand of the cutter, and nowhere is that more evident than in this pair. Our master graders spent days examining grains, translucency, and tone to identify two pieces of rough that promised a matched aesthetic once cut. The cabochon cut was chosen as the ideal form to showcase the stones’ smooth color distribution and subtle chatoyancy, a cut that requires not only technical skill but also an intimate understanding of how jade behaves under the blade. During the cutting process minute adjustments were made to preserve weight and to align the subtle internal structure, so that the finished pair mirrors one another in surface profile and color saturation while retaining the natural character of each piece. Matching is an art as much as a science, and our lapidaries worked to harmonize weight, table proportion, and dome height, producing two cabochons that read as an intentional set rather than a forced match. The result is a pair with an elegant symmetry, a soft, reflective polish, and a presence that feels curated rather than manufactured. Such workmanship is available in only limited quantities, and owning these jades means joining a small circle who appreciate the time honored craft that transforms raw Burmese jade into wearable heirlooms.

For the discerning buyer these stones are versatile in design yet inherently distinctive, suitable for a bespoke pair of stud earrings, a refined drop setting, or an asymmetric design that highlights the slight difference in carat weight as a sign of authenticity. Their comfortable dimensions make them ideal for settings that sit close to the ear or finger, while the medium intense green offers a color that flatters both warm and cool metals, from warm yellow gold to crisp platinum. Because these jades are unenhanced, their color and surface will age naturally with the wearer, developing a relationship with light and skin that only increases their uniqueness over time. When you choose this pair you are choosing more than two stones, you are acquiring a story of origin, of the expert eye that selected them, and of the meticulous hands that shaped them. The Natural Gemstone Company places a premium on provenance and expertise, and we will provide detailed information on the stones’ origin and characteristics so that this pair may be set with confidence and peace of mind. Availability is limited, and opportunities to acquire such carefully matched natural Burmese jade are exceptional.
