6.62 Ct. Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This 6.62 carat oval yellow jade from Burma is a study in quiet dignity and enduring appeal, a gem that speaks to the long and layered history of jade in Asian art and ritual. Measuring 14.36 by 12.43 by 3.93 millimeters, this cabochon cut stone has been shaped to emphasize its soft, opaque presence and gentle surface glow, a silhouette that has been favored by carvers and jewelers for centuries. The gem is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which allows its faint color intensity to be appreciated without distraction, and it bears an excellent polish that catches light with a satiny sheen rather than a sharp mirror glare. There is no enhancement, a point of pride and authenticity that connects this piece to the traditional stones prized by collectors and artisans alike. Originating from Burma Myanmar, a region long associated with some of the world s most storied jades, this yellow jade carries with it the sense of provenance that collectors seek, a lineage that reaches back through imperial courts and temple offerings to indigenous craft traditions.

There is something timeless about the oval cabochon form, a shape that evokes both ancient amulets and refined modern design, which makes this yellow jade especially versatile in jewelry settings. Worn as a ring it presents a gentle dome that reads as elegant and grounded, worn as a pendant it hangs with the weight of history close to the heart, and when set alongside other stones it acts as a quiet companion that balances brighter and more spectral gems. For those who cherish contrast and layered narratives, consider pairing this yellow jade with a White Opal, a gem whose luminous body color and soft internal fire complements the jade s opacity and understated warmth. The White Opal brings a milky clarity and flashes of color that play against the jade s calm surface, together forming a dialogue between surface serenity and inner motion, a combination that appeals to collectors who appreciate both the material history of stones and their emotional resonance in wearable art. Whether framed in warm gold or cool platinum this piece adapts, honoring classical proportions while answering contemporary tastes for authenticity and provenance.
