Latest Vintage Piece
4.30ct. apple green jadeite & diamond (0.15ct. tw. VS-HI) ring, 6.2gr. sz.5, 14kt. $1,050.00 CAD. 206-00389
Determining whether or not natural jadeite has been artificially enhanced to improve the colour is extremely difficult to determine, even for experienced gemologists. Making the call that any jadeite is 100% unenhanced is something best left only to someone like The Gemological Institute of America. That being said we determined this jadeite is natural but we are not ready to confidently say it hasn’t been treated to improve its colour. We have factored in no extra value for this beautiful apple green 4.30 carat jadeite. Our estate price of $1,050.00 has been calculated using the gold value, diamonds, and some labor to manufacture the ring. Jadeite can occur in a wide range of colour from including purple, brownish/red, white, but the vivid greens are the most sought after, and this one has that colour. The cabochon cut measures 11.0mm x 8.5mm and is estimated to weigh 4.30 carats. It is partially framed on one side by a crescent shaped arrangement of seven bead set round brilliant cut diamonds.
The high quality VS-HI diamonds weigh an estimated 0.15 carats in total. This ring was made in a rather small finger size 5, but our onsite goldsmiths can easily make it up to three sizes larger if necessary. The soothing green colour of jadeite is very popular in Asia and reminds me of new spring growth. This ring is well made and in like new condition. Jadeite is very hard, extremely durables and is tougher than even diamonds. It remains in perfect condition, displaying excellent polish, showing no scratches or scuffs of any kind. We don’t see much jadeite around here. This pretty ring is estate priced at $1,050.00 CAD. Stock #206-00389.
