16.50ct Burmese Natural Green Jadeite & Diamond Accent Pear Pendant w/ Chai

One of two distinct minerals commonly known as jade, jadeite is the rarer and harder variety. Durable jadeite can be found in many colours and is well-suited for both intricate carvings and cabochons. The finest jadeite originates from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). Historically, China has had a great admiration for jadeite. Today, it remains the strongest market for this gemstone. The superior quality of Myanmar jade finds its origins in the region’s distinctive geological conditions. The interplay of immense pressure and precise mineral interactions within Myanmar’s soil gives birth to the gem’s exceptional translucency and vibrant colours. The iconic imperial green, a deep and rich shade, signifies Myanmar jade. Beyond its visual appeal, this colour carries symbolism, representing prestige, harmony, and power, making it a cherished gem for both adornment and cultural homage.
