Water Jade Cabochon Ring Arts & Crafts, Certified Untreated

About the Item

A huge, light seafoam-green cabochon of semi-transparent, natural, and untreated Burmese jadeite jade glows from across the room in its handmade silver Arts & Crafts era mounting. I have seen similar "water jade" stones of this size and color offered for sale as loose stones for upwards of $20,000. Created entirely by hand in the early 1900s, this is a stunning and impressive ring because it retains its original pre-industrial revolution polish. Prior to the 1950s, jade was polished entirely by hand, without the benefit of electric buggers and diamond paste. It was an incredibly laborious process that required great skill, gained only through years of experience. The resulting polish is slightly softer than the hard, grand piano shine of modern jadeite. The jade measures 18.20 x 18.17mm and is approximately 9mm thick. It's a huge, luminous, extraordinarily fine-grained and translucent gem and its pale green tone is evenly distributed throughout. The hand-fabricated silver ring features decorative flower blossoms and berries, along with four powerful prongs that secure this magical jadeite stone in place. The ring is a size 8 and could easily be resized by your local jeweler. Ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the jade is untreated jadeite from Burma (Myanmar).
