Jade Gemstone Bracelets are the perfect example of jewelry for any occasion.  Jade itself is suitable for both everyday and formal occasions.  Add to that the variety of settings available and you have a limitless array of possibilities.

In ancients Egypt, bracelets were a common adornment.  they might be made of gem-encrusted gold bands or coiled in the shape of a serpent.  Some were elaborate wrist or neck bracelets hung with charms to ward off evil and disease — hence "charm" bracelets.  Bracelets were found among the ruins of Pompeii (79 A.D.).

Today, popular styles range from the tennis bracelet to charm bracelets, from bands to bangles.  Many options for great jade gemstone bracelets are available to you, including those you see here.

Jade Gemstone Earrings are a lovely addition to any jewelry wardrobe.  The most valuable jade in the world comes from Burma (now Myanmar).  It is the jade known as “imperial jade” and is dark green, intense and a bit more translucent than some.  It is chromium that gives Jade its green color.  Jade can also be found in black, yellow, purple, black, and white.  It is smooth and easily carved, making it ideal for jewelry making.  Jade is mined in large blocks, allowing it to be used for large sculpture, as well.

Jade has a hardness level of 6.5 to 7.  It is an ancient symbol of virtue and love.  For the Chinese people, Jade is nobility and perfection.  Good fortune follows all who possess it.  The well-known Chinese saying regarding Jade is, “Gold has value, but jade is invaluable.”  We know you’ll find that true of our jade gemstone earrings!

Jade gemstone necklaces are, as is all jade, an important part of the life and culture of China and the far east.  Jade and its perceived virtues play an important role in the spiritual life of the citizens.  The gem is an integral part of life from birth to death.

An interesting story attaches itself to a type of necklace associated with children in China.  An ornament, used as an amulet, is given to the child as a necklace.  The parents believe that as long as the child wears the amulet he will be protected from danger and disease – bound to life.

At death, the Chinese bury amulets with the dead.  These “tomb jades” are placed in the mouth of the dead to offer protection for final rest.

These necklaces do not necessarily carry such an exotic tale.  They do, however, offer the wearer the beauty and grace found in high quality jade gemstone necklaces.

Jade gemstone rings are a symbol of virtue.  Jade has been considered a representation of the best in man for centuries.  Confucius is quoted as saying, “The wise have likened jade to virtue. For them, its polish and brilliancy represent the whole of purity; its perfect compactness and extreme hardness represent the sureness of intelligence; its angles, which do not cut, although they seem sharp, represent justice; the pure and prolonged sound, which it gives forth when one strikes it, represents music. Its color represents loyalty; its interior flaws, always showing themselves through the transparency, call to mind sincerity; its iridescent brightness represents heaven; its admirable substance, born of mountain and of water, represents the earth. Used alone without ornamentation it represents chastity. The price that the entire world attaches to it represents the truth. To support these comparisons, the Book of Verse says: "When I think of a wise man, his merits appear to be like jade.”

What a marvelous expression of good!  What better way to show that certain someone how much you value them than with an exquisite jade gemstone ring?

RED.

While white or colorless diamonds usually demand a high price, they are not the most valuable diamonds. If a diamond is colored, it is called "Fancy". Its price usually skyrockets when compared to a colorless diamond of the same weight, cut, and clarity. Red diamonds are the rarest and the most highly valued. The largest red diamond in the world is the Moussaieff Red Diamond. It is 5.11 carats and was valued at over seven million dollars by the Gemological Institute of America in 2005.
