Description
Type A natural jadeite jade saddle ring sized at US 10.75.
The jade is a bright apple green, marked by its well poised ID.
Whatever the photos may suggest, the green actually becomes increasingly vivid moving to the centre, forming a ‘lightning bolt’ at the saddle.
This is one of the greener saddle rings, because thoroughly green jade is seldom carved into the saddle.
The saddle is also carved very well, plush with a sufficient length to width ratio.
The ring saddle (face) measures 28.6mm by 13mm, the band is 9mm tall.
The ring when worn will show its brightest face, since its saddle is extremely lively.
Viewed as a whole, the ring is admired differently from what it is as an ornament. That is the mystery to this saddle.
All photos are taken in natural light, no additional lamp is used.
