A slim ring or a small pendant is the natural home for a jade of 5.85 carats. At this size it is light enough to forget you are wearing it, and a bezel in silver keeps the polished face protected. Gold works equally well if you prefer a warmer frame for the green, and a custom silver ring setting can be discussed on WhatsApp at +92 308 887 3888.

The stone is a soft, even apple green with a clean polish. Jade measures 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale and is notably tough because its crystals interlock, though it can still be affected by perfume and household cleaners. Wipe it with a soft cloth and store it away from harder gems.

Yashab may be dyed or impregnated with polymer, and jade that has avoided this generally commands a higher price, so ask us what we know about this stone, reference GS-JD-0001. It is priced at Rs. 3,530, about Rs. 603 per carat. See other pieces in our jade collection.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural jade, known in Urdu as Yashab, with a weight of 5.85 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,530 — roughly Rs. 603 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-JD-0001 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Between two and six carats is the range most people choose for a gents' ring or a noticeable pendant. Here colour drives the price more than size does, which is why two stones of near-identical weight can be priced very differently.

On the Mohs scale jade rates 6 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy jade from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every jade for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
