    Jadeite cabochon has always been highly covetable amongst all forms of jadeite jewellery. 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.
    This very jadeite cabochon 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. With an impressive size comes an even more impressive thickness. Simply flanked by two diamonds, 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 present day market and deemed highly suitable as a heirloom jewel.
