- Jade
jewelry are beautiful pieces for decoration much in demand
by Chinese people.
Jade jewelry in
the high price range is
imperial jade green
with a high translucent level. Actually the more
translucent it is the higher the price
it fetches. There is jadeite and nephrite, jadeite
is the better material and is usually used for
jewelry.
Jade jewelry come
in various forms, shapes and qualities. Jade
bangles, jade bracelets, jade
rings, jade earrings and jade pendants are often
bought to give the body of a lady the special beauty touch,
most of the this ladies are Chinese. In China this
mineral has a mystic aura and it is said to be a
"living stone".
A jade Buddha
is often placed in house to bring good luck and also
as a great piece of decoration with an exotic touch,
sometimes together with a jade dragon. Jade gemstone
is extremely hard and bought not only to make some
great pieces of jewelry out of it, but also as
a investment. A good jade necklace, a beautiful jade
carving and the real imperial jade
wont loose value over time, its somehow like gold, but not as easy
to sell. Actually since China is progressing in recent years the
jade market id booming and prices rise constantly. This also got
crooks into the trade who manipulate jade to

make great looking items out of low
quality material mainly by acid bathing and filling cracks with resins under very high
pressure. The catch is this is not visible for a normal buyer.
The shopper buy jade and after
around 2 -3 years the jewel will deteriorate, means when buying jade
over around $ 500,- have it checked at and lab before you hand over
money at all places where the green stone is traded are independent
labs to handle this.
The kings of Burma or Myanmar gave
jade jewelry as presents to foreigners. The real
jade city is Mogaung in upper Myanmar or Burma.
Since about the 14.century almost all jade comes
from the jade mines of this area, it looks that this
also has something to do with the expression
"Chinese Jade" because this area was also
sometimes in the
past a part of China. But after some time the whole Jade area of
today upper Myanmar fell back to Myanmar or Burma.
- A beautiful jade necklace
is hard to beat
maybe complemented by some excellent jade
rings, jade beads carefully selected and put
together as a necklace is sheer beauty.
Jade jewelry show subdued elegance and good taste Jade pendants are
very popular especially with a beautiful carved jade.
About jade many has been written since ancient times
and the history of jade provides an interesting
illustration of the creation by a refined and
luxurious society with green jade jewelry as a
symbol of wealth.
The white jade or
nephrite mined at the original Jade Mountain at
Kun Lun in South-East Turkistan from about 2000
years ago possessed all the qualifications required.
It was beautiful and rare; it could be obtained only
with lots of trouble and its fashioning into jewelry
was very difficult due to the extreme hardness
of jade stone. In the original mines in Turkistan a certain rather
small amount of green jadeite was also found.
Since
this amount of imperial jade (special green color),
afterwards called was extremely rare
this green jade stone became practically priceless
and some green Jade Jewelry such as jade necklace
and jade earrings reached sky high prices. Because
of the influence of metallic oxides in establishing
the jade's color, many attempts were made to fake
this valuable green by such various methods like
burying copper in contact with blocks of white
nephrite.
With the adoption of
jade symbols for the worship of the Heaven, Earth
and the `Four Quarters', jade became for the
Chinese a similar value as gold in the West.
A good expression of
this are Jade Bangles, most Jade or jadeite
colors blends optically very well together with
diamonds, opals and peridot. |

Jade has been highly prized by Chinese
for over five thousand years as the most precious
of all materials, and has been believed to possess
near-magical properties. Its enduring and ageless surface
texture came to be associated with immortality, while its
abstract qualities represented a pinnacle of simplicity and
elegance of design for jewelry.
No other
people have valued jade for jewelry
or any other material for such a length of
time, nor indeed accorded any material such
literary and philosophical attention. |
