0.80 Ct. Yellowish Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This translucent 0.80 carat round yellowish green jade presents exceptional lapidary execution, with precise cabochon shaping that maximizes both color and light transmission. The piece measures 6.05 by 5.89 by 2.72 mm, a proportional round form that demonstrates well centered symmetry and a controlled dome profile, ideal for retaining weight while delivering a pleasing visual mass. The cabochon cut emphasizes the stone textural qualities, with a medium color intensity that appears consistent across the crown, resulting in even color distribution without abrupt zoning. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, with inclusions that are minor and non disruptive to overall translucency, permitting good internal light diffusion. The surface work is classified as excellent polish, achieved through refined lapidary finishing that yields a smooth, high luster surface, enhancing perceived saturation and depth. The specimen is reported as untreated, with no enhancement, and originates from Burma Myanmar, a provenance noted for producing high quality natural jade material, which informs both the material stability and expected performance in jewelry settings.

For custom jewelry applications this 0.80 carat round cabochon is particularly versatile, offering designers and clients a well balanced size and shape for a range of settings. The round cabochon profile and modest dimensions make it ideally suited to bezel work, where the continuous metal rim will protect the perimeter and accentuate the dome, and to low profile settings for everyday wear. It also integrates effectively as a focal center stone in cluster or halo compositions, providing a warm yellowish green focal point that complements both warm and cool metal palettes. Given the very slight inclusions and clear translucency, the stone responds well to designs that emphasize light interaction, such as open back bezels or partially pierced gallery work, which allow natural light to enhance the cabochon glow. The Natural Gemstone Company recommends consideration of secure, proportionate mounting techniques to protect the dome and preserve polish, and offers consultation for bespoke mounting options that take full advantage of the stone dimensions and optical properties, ensuring a finished piece that balances aesthetics, durability, and the inherent character of this Burmese jade.
