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

This elegant matched pair of jade cabochons from Burma, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, presents a refined option for collectors and high end designers who value natural, untreated material. The two stones weigh 4.45 carats and 4.71 carats respectively, and are cut in an oval shape that measures 12.12 by 10.14 by 4.85 mm and 12.20 by 10.21 by 4.82 mm. These dimensions indicate careful cutting and attention to symmetry, a critical factor when selecting a matched pair for earrings or a complementary ring and pendant set. The yellowish green hue is described as medium intense in color intensity, an appealing tone that balances saturation and versatility for many settings. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is typical for high quality, naturally occurring jades and is often preferred by buyers who prioritize authenticity over artificially enhanced appearance. No enhancement has been applied to these stones, which preserves their natural character and is an important provenance detail for discerning customers.

The tactile and visual finish of these jades is where they truly stand out. Each cabochon has been given an excellent polish, resulting in a smooth, lustrous surface that is ideal for high end designs where finish quality is paramount. The cabochon cut enhances the stone percentage of surface area and produces a gentle dome that showcases both the depth of color and any attractive, subtle textures within the jade. The polish quality minimizes surface irregularities, allowing light to glide across the dome evenly, which contributes to an elegant sheen rather than a glassy glare. For design applications this finish is perfect for settings that will be viewed up close, such as solitaire rings, bespoke studs, and artisan pendants, because the smoothness complements refined metalwork and highlights meticulous craftsmanship. The uniformity in size and contour between the two stones makes them particularly suitable for matched pieces, where the tactile feel and surface continuity are as important as visual harmony.

From an investment and provenance perspective, these Burmese jades carry attributes that informed buyers will recognize and value. Myanmar has a long standing reputation for producing some of the most sought after jade material in the market, and the absence of any enhancement increases their desirability among collectors who prioritize natural origin and treatment history. The medium intense yellowish green color offers versatility for pairing with both warm and cool metals, and the very slightly included clarity is consistent with natural formation processes, providing internal character without compromising visual appeal. The near identical dimensions and balanced weights are important for designers aiming for precision mounting and for graders assessing fairness in lot presentation. For practical use, cabochon cut jades with excellent polish are robust in everyday wear when set securely, for example in bezel or closed back settings that protect edges and maintain the smooth surface. We recommend professional certification for buyers seeking formal documentation, and The Natural Gemstone Company is available to assist with additional imaging, measurements, and provenance records to support appraisal and bespoke design planning. This matched pair represents a thoughtful combination of natural origin, skilled cutting, and superior surface finish, making them an excellent choice for high end jewelry that demands both authenticity and a refined tactile presence.
