Size of jade saddle: 17.8mm*10.9mm*4.81mm

Pure black colour and the green glow

This black jade ring holds a saddle-shaped omphacite cabochon with a deep, even colour. Under normal light, the stone reads as a pure, solid black, with a bright mirror-like polish across the dome. Omphacite jade — the stone Chinese tradition calls “mo cui” (墨翠), or ink jade — earns its reputation from one special trait. When a torch or strong light shines through the stone, the black opens up and glows a clear translucent green. Fine omphacite shows this green clearly, while lower grades stay dull and flat. As a result, the black jade ring carries two looks in one stone: calm black by day and a hidden green within.

Saddle cabochon and white gold setting

The carver shaped the omphacite as a saddle cabochon — a long, gently arched dome that curves like a saddle. A high polish covers the whole surface, so the black glows like dark glass and mirrors the light around it. Looking closely, you can see a smooth, even body with no cracks breaking the colour. Four white gold prongs hold the cabochon at its corners, raising it above a wide, polished band. The 18k white gold shank shows open circular work along the inside, a detail that lightens the heavy form. As a result, the bold black stone sits as the clear centre of the design.

Meaning of black omphacite jade

In Chinese tradition, black omphacite jade stands for strength, protection, and a steady mind. People link its deep ink colour with the power to turn away bad luck and hold trouble at a distance. The hidden green, which appears only under strong light, suggests quiet potential and good fortune held in reserve. The saddle form carries its own note, since a saddle suggests a smooth, steady journey through life. Together, the pure black surface and the secret green make this black jade ring a calm, confident piece. Jade lore treats omphacite as a stone of resolve and quiet inner strength.
