28.98 Ct. Green Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite oval green jade weighs 28.98 carats, and measures 30.00 x 20.38 x 4.80 mm, and it is carved in an elegant floral motif that emphasizes both the natural beauty of the material and the skill of the cutter. The piece is opaque with a light color intensity, and it has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, a clarity grade that speaks to the stone being unusually clean for a carving of this size. The polish is excellent, and importantly, there has been no enhancement, which means the color and texture you see are wholly natural. Compared with the many jade pieces on the market that are often treated, dyed, or impregnated to improve color and translucency, this unenhanced Burmese jade offers authenticity and peace of mind. Where some vendors deliver small, heavily treated cabochons or mass produced carvings with uneven surface finish, this 28.98 carat floral oval combines substantial size, refined carving, and professional finishing, which makes it ideal for a standout pendant, a signature brooch, or a collector grade cabinet piece.

The origin of this jade is Burma Myanmar, and that provenance adds a deep layer of value. Burmese jadeite has a long history of being prized by collectors and artisans for its fine grained structure and its capacity to take a superb polish, qualities that directly affect how carving details read in the finished work. In markets where provenance often gets blurred, a documented Burmese origin signals material from some of the most historically significant deposits known for producing the highest quality jadeite. Even with a light color intensity, Burmese jade can display a richness of tone and an internal texture that gives the surface a lively, nearly three dimensional presence under carving. Compared with nephrite jades from other regions, which can be tough and homogeneous but lack the same vibrancy or grain for fine detail, Burmese jadeite offers a balance of workable toughness and aesthetic depth. This balance allows artisans to carve floral patterns with crisp outlines and subtle relief, resulting in a piece that reads beautifully in both natural and gallery lighting.

When customers consider value and longevity, untreated Burmese jade like this piece stands out against many alternatives on the current market. Many commercial jades are offered with enhancement disclosures that range from bleaching and polymer impregnation to dyeing, and those treatments can alter response to wear and cleaning over time. Because this jade is natural and unenhanced, you are buying a stable material that will respond predictably to professional care and that will carry provenance credibility for resale or estate planning. The very slightly included clarity at eye level is an advantage rather than a liability, because it signifies authenticity and natural formation, while still offering a clean visual field for the floral carving to be admired. In contrast to smaller fragments or simulants, the generous 28.98 carat weight and the 30.00 x 20.38 x 4.80 mm dimensions allow this piece to make a design statement without overwhelming wearable proportions. The carving itself is an artistic signature that elevates the stone from a mere raw component to an object of wearable art.
