A Colossal Stone, Held in Gold — Lavender Jadeite at Its Most Commanding

Oversized Lavender Jadeite & Ruby Statement Ring in Solid 18K Yellow Gold · One of a Kind

This is not a ring that asks for attention — it simply has it. A natural Grade A lavender jadeite cabochon of 16.7 × 23.3 × 10.0mm — one of the largest single jadeite stones in this collection — dominates the finger with a soft, glowing presence that is simultaneously serene and unmissable. Set in solid 18K (750) yellow gold on heavy-gauge four-prong architecture, six natural rubies cluster on each tiered leaf-style shoulder, their vivid crimson anchoring the composition against the jadeite's cool lavender. At 11.58 grams, this ring carries the weight of genuine investment-grade fine jewellery. Understand why 18K gold is the standard for significant gemstone rings.

One of a Kind
This is a single, unrepeatable piece. A jadeite of this scale and grade cannot be sourced again. Once it leaves, it is gone.

Design
Heavy-gauge four prongs lift the cabochon high above the finger, giving full visibility to the stone's depth and translucency from every angle. The tiered leaf-style shoulders — each carrying a six-ruby cluster — frame the jadeite with organic warmth rather than formal geometry. The result is a ring with genuine three-dimensional presence, as commanding from the side as it is face-on.

The Jadeite
The oval cabochon measures 16.7 × 23.3 × 10.0mm — an exceptional size even by collector standards, with a full 10.0mm depth that contributes to its remarkable visual mass on the finger. Grade A classification confirmed via volumetric mass displacement matched to authentic high-density jadeite. The stone's soft lavender tone and natural translucency are characteristic of fine-quality lavender jadeite — considerably rarer than green jade and carrying its own symbolism of wisdom, intuition and spiritual calm. No treatment claims beyond physical verification are made; independent gemological assessment is recommended for buyers requiring formal certification.

The Rubies
Twelve natural round mixed-cut rubies — six per shoulder at 1.5mm each, arranged in high-density tiered leaf clusters — provide the colour counterpoint that makes this ring extraordinary. Their deep crimson against the cool lavender of the jadeite creates the chromatic tension historically rooted in East Asian jewellery traditions. Verified total ruby weight: 0.60 carat. All rubies are natural. Understand what the 750 hallmark on the band confirms.

Care & Wear · Both jadeite and ruby require gentle handling. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam and prolonged contact with chemicals, perfumes or cleaning products. Clean with a soft damp cloth only. The four-prong jade setting should be checked periodically by a fine jeweller. The 18K yellow gold requires no replating. Read our complete fine jewellery care guide.

What makes this an investment-grade jadeite piece?

Three factors converge: the exceptional stone size — 16.7 × 23.3 × 10.0mm is rare even by collector standards; the Grade A classification confirmed via density verification; and the solid 18K gold setting at 11.58 grams representing substantial intrinsic metal value. Lavender jadeite of this scale and quality simply does not appear in regular market circulation. For serious jadeite collectors, this is the category of stone that defines a collection.

How does this differ from the smaller lavender jadeite ring in the collection?

The companion piece (FJGSR102) features a 13.8 × 17.8 × 7.0mm stone with 10 rubies in an open-work ribbon gallery setting. This ring is categorically different in scale — the 16.7 × 23.3 × 10.0mm cabochon is 30% larger by face dimensions and significantly deeper, creating a visual mass on the finger that is unmistakably statement-level. The tiered leaf-style shoulders with 12 rubies (6 per side) also create a fuller, more elaborate surround than the open ribbon architecture of the smaller piece.

Is this Grade A jadeite and what does that mean?

Yes — Grade A jadeite is natural, untreated stone with no polymer impregnation or artificial enhancement. Authentication here was performed via volumetric mass displacement matched to authentic high-density jadeite profiles. No gemological certificate is available; buyers requiring formal treatment documentation should seek independent assessment prior to purchase, as is standard practice for significant jadeite acquisitions.

Why rubies alongside jadeite — what does the combination mean?

The pairing of jade and ruby has deep roots in East Asian jewellery traditions, where contrasting gemstones express complementary forces — the stillness of jade balanced against the fire of ruby, calm paired with courage, wisdom met with vitality. The warm crimson of twelve rubies against the cool lavender of this exceptional cabochon creates a chromatic dialogue that is visually striking and symbolically coherent. A combination with intention, not simply decoration.

Why is only one available?

JewelHub sources fine jewellery as individual pieces. A lavender jadeite cabochon of this size and grade exists as a single stone — it cannot be reordered, remade or replicated. The person who chooses this ring will be its sole owner. For a piece at this level, that singularity is part of the value. Visit our jewellery care guide for aftercare advice.
