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

This pair of beautiful opaque jades offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a carefully matched set weighing 4.45 carats and 4.71 carats respectively, oval in shape, yellowish green in hue, with dimensions of 12.12 by 10.14 by 4.85 millimeters and 12.20 by 10.21 by 4.82 millimeters, cabochon cut to maximize their smooth domed surface and pleasing silhouette, graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level which indicates only minimal inclusions visible under normal viewing conditions, showing a medium intense color intensity that reads as a warm yellow green glow rather than a stark or highly saturated tone, and finished with an excellent polish that gives each stone a bright, appealing luster, no enhancement has been applied to these jades, and their origin is Burma, Myanmar, a region long celebrated for producing fine quality jade material. These pieces present consistent size and form, making them ideal for use as a matched pair in a refined piece of jewelry, and their natural, untreated state adds to their desirability for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate unaltered gemstones. The natural texture and slightly variegated color in each cabochon reflect the stone body rather than surface treatments, and because they are opaque cabochons, they offer a tactile, organic presence that complements both classic and contemporary settings.

Visually the pair presents a harmonious balance between color saturation and structural character, the yellowish green tone leaning toward an earthy, lively green that performs beautifully against warm metals, the medium intensity ensures these jades are noticeable without overpowering other design elements, and the excellent polish allows specular highlights to appear on the dome creating a soft sheen that enhances the perception of depth. The very slightly included clarity grade reassures you that the stones are free from major fractures or eye visible blemishes that would interrupt wear or compromise stability, inclusions in jade are often part of the stone’s natural fingerprint, and in these cabochons they contribute subtle, attractive patterning when observed closely. Because both stones are closely matched in weight, size, shape, and finish, they read as a deliberate pair when set as earrings, cufflink inlays, or side stones in a bespoke ring design where symmetry is important, and their cabochon profile makes them particularly suited to settings that protect the girdle and back of the stones while showing off the domed face.

For design and care guidance from The Natural Gemstone Company, consider settings that emphasize the rounded face and secure the stones with a sturdy bezel or low prong setting, bezels will protect the edges and provide a clean frame for the color, while open backed mountings can allow for deeper color perception in some lighting situations, pairing these jades with warm yellow gold will accentuate the yellow facets of the green, while white metals will offer a fresher, modern contrast, and a mixed metal approach can highlight different aspects of the stone at once. Because these jades are natural and untreated, cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth is recommended, avoid harsh chemicals, prolonged exposure to strong acids or alkaline cleaners, and aggressive ultrasonic or steam cleaning methods which can be risky for some jade specimens and for the adhesives or mountings used in finished jewelry. Regular gentle cleaning and storing each piece separately will preserve the polish and prevent abrasion against harder gemstones or metals, and if you plan to resize or alter a setting, request that your jeweler check for secure seatings and avoid high heat exposure during any soldering operations which could affect the integrity of a hand set cabochon.
