Jade has been shaped, worn, and treasured across cultures for centuries. Its quiet color and polished surface are only part of its appeal.
Two stones, one familiar name.
“Jade” commonly describes two distinct materials: jadeite and nephrite. Both are valued for their toughness, but their mineral composition and appearance differ. Neither a green color nor a photograph alone can identify the material.
A palette beyond green.
Jade can appear in soft whites, greens, lavender tones, yellows, and more. Color, texture, translucency, craftsmanship, and treatment all influence how a piece looks and how it is valued.
Good questions make meaningful purchases.
- Is this jadeite, nephrite, or another material?
- Has it been dyed, impregnated, or otherwise treated?
- Are there independent laboratory reports for the piece?
- What are the exact dimensions, metal content, and care requirements?
