Allure of Jadeite Cabochons

Jadeite cabochon has always been highly covetable amongst all forms of jadeite jewellery, and this cabochon offers the best explanation for this phenomenon. It displays a vivid and pure emerald green colour that is evenly distributed in the entire stone and an excellent translucency, together with an extremely fine texture. Only if a boulder is of significant size with wide spread of colour can the material be considered suitable for double-cabochons, which are very rare nowadays. Comprising dome surface on both sides, a double cabochon facilitates the refraction of light when it passes through the stone, enabling an alluring water-like translucency. However, a double-cabochon must be of considerable thickness, or else it can easily lose its vibrancy once mounted.

This very jadeite double-cabochon (Lot 583) measures 25.15 x 20.52 x 12.57mm, with an impressive size comes an even more impressive thickness. Flanked by two heart-shaped diamonds of superb quality, the cabochon’s watery lustre was contrasted with the scintillating fire of the white stones, heightening the elegance, simplicity and subtle beauty of natural jadeite. Such a gemstone possesses all the qualities of the best products available in the present market; it also represents a rarity and dream sought after by the most sophisticated jadeite connoisseur.
