6.10 carats — 6.70 ratti — at Rs. 3,680, about Rs. 603 per carat. The reference is GS-JD-0004.

The most even colour in the collection

Measured across its face, this stone's lightness varies by only 29 points — the lowest figure of any stone here, and a clear margin below the next. In plain terms that means the flattest, most consistent green in the collection: no pale patch on one side, no dark cloud drifting through the middle. Brightness reads 90 out of 255, so it is a mid-depth green rather than a light or a dark one.

Even colour is the quality that shows most in a small stone and the one people most often regret not checking. It is the reason to choose this one.

Why it suits a silver ring

Two reasons. The step cut gives it a rectangular outline with straight sides, which drops cleanly into the square and rectangular bezels that most silver ring settings use — far easier to mount than an oval, and no custom work needed. And a mid-depth green reads well against the cool grey of silver, where a very pale stone can look washed out and a very dark one can disappear.

Setting advice

A bezel rather than claws. The straight edges of a step cut line up against a bezel wall neatly, and a bezel protects the corners, which are the most vulnerable part of any rectangular stone.

Care

Warm water and a soft cloth. No ultrasonic cleaner, no hot water, and keep it away from bleach and household cleaners.

Its treatment is recorded as "not tested" rather than untreated, and no origin is documented for it. We can arrange independent testing on request — message +92 308 887 3888 with the reference, and we can discuss a custom silver setting at the same time. The rest of the collection is in the jade category.

Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, so you inspect the stone before paying, and returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural jade, known in Urdu as Yashab, with a weight of 6.1 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,680 — roughly Rs. 603 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-JD-0004 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.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

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.

We sell natural stones only and inspect each one before it is listed. Treatment for this stone: Treatment not tested. Certificate available on request.
