5.30 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

When you are searching for a single, distinctive gemstone to anchor a custom jewelry design, you want a stone that combines presence, character, and the freedom to be shaped by an artisan into something uniquely yours, and this carved Burmese jade meets that need beautifully. This one opaque 5.30 carat oval green jade measures 12.29 x 10.12 x 5.48 mm, and it has been carved into an elegant cabochon shape with a gently scalloped surface that catches the eye and invites touch. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, the color is a pleasing medium intensity that reads fresh and luminous in a variety of metal settings, the polish is excellent and the piece has not undergone any enhancement, a true natural example of Burmese jade. At The Natural Gemstone Company we recognize that many clients come to us seeking a focal stone that will translate into an heirloom piece, a statement ring, or a collector worthy mount, and this piece answers those needs by offering authenticity, workable proportions, and a distinct carved silhouette that elevates any custom concept.

The dimensions and form of this oval carved cabochon make it exceptionally well suited for custom work, because it balances size with wearable comfort, and its profile allows for a wide range of setting options. The 12.29 mm length and 10.12 mm width give designers room to create elongated ring designs that flatter the finger, or to center the stone in a pendant that reads strong without overwhelming. The 5.48 mm depth provides enough thickness for secure bezel or prong settings, while the cabochon cut makes it ideal for a low profile bezel for everyday wear, or for a more open gallery mount that lets light play across the carved top. For those seeking an ornate or vintage inspired look, the scalloped carving pairs beautifully with filigree metalwork and milgrain, while contemporary designers will appreciate how the smooth, curved form contrasts with minimalist bands and geometric settings. Because the jade is opaque with a medium color intensity and an even polish, it also lends itself to cluster settings as the central anchor among accent stones, or to an asymmetrical design where metal and texture become an integral part of the composition. The weight of 5.30 carat is substantial enough to feel like a precious investment, yet manageable for daily wear when set thoughtfully, and the tactile nature of the carved cabochon invites close inspection and admiration, whether the piece is a ring, pendant, brooch or a bold pair of drop earrings.

We know that clients who commission custom pieces want confidence in the stone itself, and in how it will perform once set, and this Burmese jade provides both provenance and practical advantages. Sourced from Burma, a renowned origin for fine jade, this gem arrives to you unenhanced, showcasing natural color and structure that will age gracefully, and the very slightly included clarity gives the stone personality without distracting from its overall appeal. The excellent polish amplifies the soft glow of the medium green tone, and the carved cabochon surface creates subtle highlights that change with movement, giving your finished jewelry a living quality. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are happy to advise on metal choices that complement the green hue, with yellow gold bringing warmth, rose gold adding a modern softness, and platinum or white gold offering crisp contrast. For secure and elegant settings we recommend a custom bezel for everyday pieces, a raised gallery or prong work for statement rings where the depth can be appreciated, and a closed back or open back design depending on whether you prefer a more intimate or more luminous presentation. If you are seeking a personal token, a unique engagement piece, or a collector worthy object, this carved 5.30 carat Burmese jade is a ready canvas for creativity, and our team is prepared to guide you through design options, setting techniques, and finishing touches so that the final piece reflects your vision and endures as a treasured item.
