Tang Vines (Jadeite Ring) 翠唐草 II
Handcarved work of wearable art by skilled craftsman based on the Tang dynasty style vines.
Natural Type A Burmese Jadeite Feicui
Inner diameter measures 18mm.
This is a more opaque quality jadeite, which fits the more traditional Chinese aesthetic.
Note: Unlike conventional gemstones, jadestones have very different colours under different lighting conditions and surroundings. Photos are taken in daylight to best represent the natural colours when worn in the day. As such, they would look different when indoors. We advise to open your parcel in the day next to the window to best appreciate your first acquaintance with your acquisition.
Description
Jadeite, especially the more translucent type, typically commands a higher price than serpentine jade. Officially, only Jadeite and Nephrite are considered jade in mineralogy. Amongst them, Burmese jadeite commands even higher price than Guatemalan jadeite, and the more transparent/glass-like jadeites are more valued than the more opaque ones.
Type A just means natural jadeite, without added dyes or bleached and injected with polymer resin to conceal cracks and flaws. It has no bearing on the quality of jadeite colours, translucency and inclusions, unlike diamond grading.
This must be emphasised as many tend to think of it as the gold/diamond standard for jade, but Type A typically just refer to jadeite which has no colour dye, bleach and polymer resin injection. It comes in a wide range of qualities and translucencies, and a wide price range. I have another Type A jadeite ring that is carved with the Tang Vines, which commands a higher price due to the translucency of the jadeite.
