Kurz gesagt:
Buying Jade Jewelry: Jadeite vs. Nephrite, Colors & How to Identify Real Jade. The Sacred Green in Gold - at Corelune.
Jade: The Sacred Green of East Asian Cultures
Jade jewelry holds the same significance in Chinese, Japanese, and Mesoamerican cultures as diamonds do in the West – or even greater. For millennia, jade was the most precious material in the world.
Jadeite vs. Nephrite
- Jadeite: The more valuable, rarer jade – from Myanmar (Burma). Higher transparency, more intense colors. "Imperial Jade" (intense green) is more expensive than diamond.
- Nephrite: More affordable, more robust, widely distributed globally. Slightly waxy luster, less translucent.
Jade Colors
- Intense Green (Imperial): Most valuable category
- Light Green and White-Greenish: Very common in jewelry
- Lavender: Rarer shade – highly sought after
- Black and White: Modern interpretations
Jade in Jewelry
- Jade Bangle: In China, both a protective amulet and a love gift
- Jade Pendant: Buddha, dragon motif, or simply oval – very significant
- Jade Stud Earrings: Set in gold – a bridge between cultures
Identifying Real Jade
Real jadeite feels cool to the touch and has a glassy surface. Fake jade made of glass is lighter and has air bubbles. For certainty: request a certificate or have it examined by a gemologist.
