The Meaning of Jade

In China, where jade has been treasured the most, there was only nephrite before the 18th century. The highly treasured pieces from that time are creamy white in color and uniformly translucent.Since the mid-18th century, jadeite has been imported from Burma (now Myanmar), and has become the most popular form of jade in China. Besides in Burma, jadeite is also found in Japan, part of the former Soviet Union, Central America, and California. The actual color and the texture of the jadeite piece derives from the metallic element(s) it contains and the way the piece was formed geologically. For thousands of years, Jade has been the most sought-after jewel in the orient. In China, people treasure it more than any other gem. There is a Chinese saying that everything has a price, but jade is priceless. Jade has been fashioned into tools and ornaments since the earliest periods of Chinese history. The Chinese believed that jade was the Stone of Heaven and that anything made of it was imbued with special powers to protect against evil. There are legends and mysterious stories about how jade lead the mortal to become immortal, the poor to become rich and how it saved a person from disaster.  Gradually, jade became a symbol of peace, kindness, elegance and eternity. In China, people believe that Jade is more than just an ornament, that it can bring safety, wealth, health, longevity and peace of mind. The history of jade in Europe is not quite as distinguished. Although prehistoric axes and blades carved from jade have been found by archeologists, most Europeans were unfamiliar with jade as a gemstone for jewelry use until the sixteenth century when jade objects were imported from China and, later, Central America.

What's Jadeite JADE?

JADE is an ornamental stone. Jade is actually the gemstone name for two different mineral forms, Jadeite and Nephrite. Both types of Jade are tough, since they consist of dense, close-grained, matted aggregates, but they differ from one another in their chemical composition and colors. Nephrite ranges mainly from mid to dark green or grey-green, but it can also be white, yellowish or reddish. Rarer, and somewhat tougher, Jadeite displays hues which include green, but also white or pink, and reds, blacks, browns and violets. In both minerals, the way the color is distributed varies a great deal. Only in the very finest Jade is the color evenly distributed. Both Nephrite and Jadeite often have veins, blemishes and streaks running through them, though these may not always be regarded as flaws. On the contrary, some of these patterns are considered particularly valuable. So if a jade bangle has slightly light inner stone veins or lines, they are not cracked, not fracture. They are from the original stone. These are part of natural jade bangle or stone and not considered to be defects. If your jade is to "perfect", it might be an artificial or constructed jade, not a genuine jade. Jade or a Jade bangle no flaws is very expensive, and no jade is absolutely perfect.

Grades of Jade?

Buy high-quality Jadeite. Some will buy precious stone as an investment, for example, diamond. Jadeite jade is proved to be more profitable in these years. The price of jade rises about 100% to 50% per year. But only those all natural jadeite can be looked as estate, which is called A type (or grade A) jade. Seek type A-grade jade. There are three grades of jade. Jade is graded as A, B, or C to identify the type of treatment used on the jade. It does not refer to the quality. A-grade jade is in its natural, untreated state. The color is considered natural because the stone hasn't undergone any artificial treatments. This type of jadeite jade can be bought as a real precious stone or investment. B-grade jade is natural jade that has been treated with a polymer. C-grade jade is natural jade that has been treated with a color enhancer.  Please note that we do not trade in treated jade jewelry of any kind, our bangles or products are genuine untreated Grade 'A'.  Some experienced craftsmen and traders can examine jadeite jade with naked eyes, by its color and luster. To consumers, the best way to judge a piece of jadeite jade is to ask for an identification certificate by a testing centre.

How to Keep a Jade's Color

Jade is a very delicate stone that is susceptible to corrosion from chemicals and wear, both of which will contribute to the color dulling over time. You must take care of jade jewelry to keep its color bright. Be careful to never drop or bump a jade stone as it could crack, which diminishes the brilliance and value. Unlike other stones, jade requires moisture to maintain its luster. There are several steps you can take to maintain jade. 01. Move the jade stone out of direct sunlight. Sunlight dries up moisture in the stone and causes it to form fine cracks. Cracks can also appear inside the stone and eventually these cracks rise to the surface. Store the jade in a box or case.  02. Dust the jade stone at least once a week with a clean, lint-free cloth. Dusting maintains the integrity of the stone.  03. Remove dirt and grime from the stone. Pour a cup of warm water and three drops of dishwashing soap into a bowl. Place the jade stone in the bowl and wash it with a soft bristle brush. Dry the jade with a clean lint-free towel.  04. Wipe the surface of the jade stone with a wet lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry. Jade requires some moisture to maintain its brilliance.  05. Keep the jade jewelry away from perfume, perspiration or other chemicals on or off your body. These chemicals can corrode the stone.
