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

For millennia, jade has held a singular place in the human imagination, revered by emperors, carved into ceremonial objects, and worn as a talisman of protection and prosperity, and this elegant pair of green jades carries that same whisper of antiquity and enduring value. These stones come from Burma, a source that has supplied some of the most treasured jades in history, and their opaque, soothing green recalls the jewel tones that have adorned crowns and artifacts across dynasties and continents. The oval cabochon silhouette is a timeless form, chosen by generations for its ability to showcase color and surface luster, and the smooth domed faces of these cabochons invite the eye to linger, revealing subtle shifts in depth and glow as light moves across their surfaces. When you hold them you will feel what collectors and connoisseurs have long cherished, a tactile connection to a material that ages gracefully, a gem whose value is rooted not only in its physical attributes, but in its cultural resonance and the stories that surround every piece.

From a technical perspective these jades are compelling as well as beautiful, the pair weighing 4.97 carats and 3.82 carats respectively, each cut in an oval cabochon to emphasize body color and polish, the larger measuring 14.04 millimeters by 9.94 millimeters by 4.20 millimeters, and the smaller measuring 13.73 millimeters by 9.73 millimeters by 3.31 millimeters. Their clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the inclusions do nothing to diminish their appeal, instead adding a natural character that confirms authenticity and origin. The color intensity is medium and consistently green across both stones, a tone that reads as both serene and stately, and the polish has been executed to an excellent standard, allowing a luminous, almost waxy luster to develop on the cabochon surfaces, which is characteristic of fine jade and particularly desirable when creating heirloom pieces. Importantly, these jades are untreated, provided without enhancement, a rarity that collectors prize for its honesty, and their Burmese provenance further enhances their desirability, as Myanmar has long been synonymous with some of the most historically significant jadeite deposits in the world.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that purchasing a pair of jades is an invitation to become the steward of a small but meaningful portion of cultural history, and we take care to present gemstones that will inspire both wearable beauty and lasting legacy. These two jades are ideally matched for a mirror pair in a classic ring setting, a pair of cufflinks that speaks to quiet refinement, or a pendant and stud combination that allows one stone to rest against the heart while its companion captures light elsewhere, and their measured sizes and balanced proportions make them versatile for designs that prioritize symmetry and elegance. Care is straightforward, and like all fine jade these cabochons will reward gentle handling, avoidance of harsh chemicals, and periodic cleaning with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, and when set in precious metal these pieces will gain additional gravitas and become the kinds of treasures passed down through generations. We invite you to consult with our design team to explore settings that honor both the history and the individual personality of these stones, and to experience how The Natural Gemstone Company can help turn this pair of Burmese jades into an heirloom that resonates with meaning, tradition, and enduring beauty.
