Jadeite Jade Culture:

One of the oldest loved gems in the world, jade has long been revered by gem lovers internationally, but nowhere more so than in China. From the emperors of China, who considered it a heavenly gem, to Cartier, who featured it in the finest Art Deco jewellery designs, jade remains an eternal and mystical stone, an object of fascination and desire, often referred to as ‘inscrutable’, ‘mysterious’ and ‘enigmatic’. 

The wide variety of colours jade can appear in makes it a particularly appealing stone. The palette includes colourless, white, yellow, orange, green, purple and black. Green and purple jadeite are the most appreciated – and imitated. The finest jadeite is almost transparent with a pure, vibrant emerald green colour due to chromium, and known as ‘Imperial jade’. An even colouration or an attractive mottling of colours are elements that also make jade desirable. 

Jade is most highly valued in Chinese culture today. It is believed to possess the power to avert evil and bad luck while fostering health and good fortune. 

Jadeite Jade Quality Factors: 

Type A Jadeite – Natural Form

We consider this as the only accepted form that jadeite should be. Type A natural jadeite means that the subject qualifies to be free of any form of chemical treatment. 

Jadeite’s three most important qualities, in order of their impact on its market value, are color, transparency, and texture. 

Color is jadeite’s most important value factor. Because consumers traditionally associate jadeite with the color green, it surprises some people to learn that it comes in other colors as well—lavender, red, orange, yellow, brown, white, black, and gray. All of these colors can be attractive. 

Jadeite’s transparency ranges from completely opaque to semitransparent. The best jadeite is semitransparent, meaning the text you can read through it would be slightly blurred. Because light penetrates below the surface, semitransparent jadeite has an alluring brilliance. It almost appears to glow, increasing the charm of a lush green or rich lavender hue. 

Jadeite has a smooth, even texture that makes people want to touch and hold it. Jadeite’s texture can be fine, medium, or coarse, depending on variations in crystal size and hardness.
