IMPERIAL GREEN
The “Imperial Green” is considered as the very top class of all types of jadeite jade,as it presents the very best color and translucency that jadeite jade could exhibit. The glowing and transparent green color of the Imperial green jadeite is related to the well-balanced trace element of chromium. It shows a bluish lake green color in daylight,an emerald green color under strong light,and an apple green color under the digital spotlight. The changing hue of green color implies its exuberant nature and unique quality that throws the jadeite jade lovers into a deep obsession.
It is ultra-rare to find any jadeite jade piece that falls into the class of “Imperial Green”,but this suite of necklace and ear clips is consists of twelve highly-matched natural Burmese Imperial Green jadeite jade cabochons,which is undoubtedly the true treasure of nature. All the twelve jadeite jade cabochons are from the reputed mines close to Hpakant in northern the Burma,and are perfectly cut into “double cabochon” shape. Each piece displays a perfectly round egg shape and exhibits the exquisite and translucent green color of the Imperial Green jadeite jade,as well as its elegance and grace from every angle. What’s more noteworthy is that this suite bears certificates of “Imperial Green” jadeite jade from both Gubelin and SSEF with the certificate number 88888. This is the very first jadeite jade jewelry that has ever been considered as “Imperial Green” by SSEF in mainland China. The double certificates from Gubelin and SSEF as Imperial Green shows its unparalleled nobility.
