6mm Nephrite Jade bracelet
There are only two main types of Jade which can occur in a variety of colors. We all know of the green variety which is what we have in stock. But it also occurs in white, yellow, brown, grey, black. A rare highly prized lavender form of Jadeite occurs in shades from lilac to deep purple.Â
Jadeite (not pictured) is softer and better suited to carvings not jewelry.Â
Nephrite Jade (pictured here) is harder than Jadeite and better suited to jewelry.
Nephrite Jade often has black flecks which are inclusions which are easier to spot in the lighter shades of green. If the Jade is a darker green the black flecks when present are less noticeable.Â
Jade has been used for thousands of years as ceremonial tools, bowls, figurines and carvings.
Jade symbolizes purity, wisdom, protection, prosperity, longevity, harmony and balance.
