Oval Cabochon Natural Orange-Red Jade Ring

If you are looking for an exceptional piece of red jade, look no further. Jade is a symbol of good luck in East Asia, worn to bring the wearer good fortune and longevity; red is also considered a color of good luck. Thus, red jade, with its orange hue, is one of the most auspicious possessions one can own. In this case, the color is a deep burnt sienna with hints of gold, coveted by jade collectors. It is set as a solitaire cabochon in yellow gold with a wire-work gallery that wraps around the base of the gem and forms a three-part shank. The gem boasts a fantastic luster and shine that must be seen in person to be truly appreciated. This magnificent estate ring was sourced from a collector who had purchased it in Asia from a dealer specializing in natural jadeite. This is a piece of natural jadeite jade, untreated and undyed, accompanied by an NAGL lab report confirming its authenticity. 

Details: estate 14k yellow gold ring set with oval jadeite jade cabochon (18x13mm, estimated to weigh 7ct+), circa 1990.
