The questions we hear most about yashab, answered for this particular stone.

How big is it?

It weighs 9.2 carats, one of the larger and more affordable pieces in our jade range. Its reference is AG-JD-0011.

Is it dyed?

Jade can be dyed or filled with polymer, and stone that has avoided both normally sells for more. We do not want you to guess, so message us on WhatsApp and we will share what we know. If you want it confirmed, an independent lab test is your choice.

Can I wear it every day?

Jade rates 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, and its tightly interlocked crystal structure gives it real toughness, so a ring will cope with ordinary use. Take it off before cleaning with chemicals, and wipe it with a soft damp cloth.

How should I compare it?

Open the jade (yashab) category and sort by weight. The rates per carat are close across these apple green stones, so size and finish should guide your choice.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural jade, known in Urdu as Yashab, with a weight of 9.2 Carat. Its price is Rs. 5,520 — roughly Rs. 600 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-JD-0011 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, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
