"Cat's Eye" Jade Ring - Filigree Silver - Unique - Qing Dynasty

This art dates back to the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century and adorned the members of the Forbidden City.
We are now working with Huangyi Workshop , official supplier of the shops in the Forbidden City of Beijing.
This workshop is made up of 8 people and the work is obviously artisanal.
My role as a gemologist is to find the gems, to expert them, then, on my return from Beijing, we work on the exceptional design of this sumptuous and unique art. This jade ring, traditional from the Forbidden City, is entirely handcrafted

FILIGREE SILVER TECHNIQUE:

The art of crafting 925 silver filigree is a delicate and refined artisanal technique used to create exceptional and unique rings. Each piece is expertly crafted, with artisans carefully intertwining silver wires to form intricate and elegant designs.
This centuries-old craftsmanship adds a touch of elegance to each ring, capturing the artistic essence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Each filigree detail reflects the craftsmen's dedication, creating unique pieces steeped in history and sophistication.

At the center of this exceptional and rare ring is set a nephrite jade cabochon with a cat's eye effect.
This rather rare jade comes from Russia, Eastern Siberia.
This cabochon is obviously natural and guaranteed to be free of any treatment.
As a gemologist graduated from the National Institute of Gemmology (ING, Paris), all our stones are appraised by us.
Dimensions of this jade cabochon: 12.69mm long by 10.24mm wide, weight 4.85 carats

CAT'S EYE EFFECT:
The chatoyancy effect called "cat's eye", is an optical phenomenon that occurs in certain gemstones, including jade. It is due to the presence of tubular fibers throughout the interior of the stone. When light hits these fibers or crystals, it is reflected in a specific way along their axis, creating a distinct band of light that resembles a cat's pupil when viewed under certain lighting conditions. This effect gives the stone a shimmering or iridescent appearance, hence the name "cat's eye".

DIMENSIONS OF THIS JADE RING:
16.79mm wide by 11.28mm high
Total weight 7.5 grams
Weight in 925 silver: 6.53 grams.
