Re-polished Imperial Jadeite while in the ring
A prominent gemstone collector asked me to re-polish this high quality Imperial Jadeite cabochon while it is in the mounting.
This Imperial Jadeite cabochon was mounted in a heavy gold bezel mounting and because there is always some risk in removing a gemstone from the mounting, it is beneficial to be able to re-polish the stone while it is still in the mounting, if possible.
I examined the ring and told him that I could re-polish his Jadeite without removing it.
The estimated value of this stone was appx. $35,000.
