6.60ct Lozenge Shaped Jadeite Jade Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

A statement 18ct yellow gold dress ring which features a central lozenge 6.60ct cabochon piece of vivid green jadeite jade. The rich green cabochon jade almost glows with the green of spring and has been securely claw set. A polished gold surround perfectly complements the central jade in this stylish and modern setting. This finest type of jadeite jade was originally reserved for the Emperor and has been revered and adored by Chinese culture for thousands of years. Known to attract good luck and friendship, jade jewellery is still a status symbol in China today and was often featured in Edwardian and Art Deco pieces. The popularity of jadeite jade has soared in the past few years, with examples seen on the red carpet and featured in the collections of both the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
