Contemporary Cabochon Cut 19.90ct Jadeite Solitaire Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

A statement 18ct yellow gold dress ring, which features a central 19.90ct cabochon piece of vivid green jadeite jade. The rich green cabochon jade almost glows with the green of spring and has been securely rubover set. A polished gold surround perfectly complements the central jade in this stylish and modern setting. The jadeite set into this ring is accompanied with certification from the Gem Research Swiss Lab to confirm it is natural, and has not been subjected to any treatment. The 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 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.
