Chinese natural jade jewelry is always popular around the world because jade is non-renewable. Jade is a mineral stone mainly stored in the mountains or rivers. More than 80% of the compositions of jade are silicate minerals. With the development of the jade jewelry industry, the number of storage facilities is getting smaller. So it will be more valuable in the future. Because of its natural properties, jade jewelry is unique and special. You cannot find the same natural jade, so Chinese natural jade jewelry is unrepeatable.
Natural jade colors are abundant, such as green, white, yellow, and more. Green and white are the main colors. Russian green jade is very famous due to its great quality and large storage. Chinese white nephrite jade is also great because of its oiliness, hardness, and pure white color. Generally speaking, Chinese green jade is more valuable based on the same quality. There are multiple green colors, such as natural green, light green, dark green, apple green, and more. Of course, it is not absolute. Mutton-fat jade from Hotan, China, is famous for its purely white color.
Chinese jade has two categories of hardness. One is hard jade, and the other is soft. The hardness of nephrite jade is from 6 to 6.5, and the hardness of soft jade is from 4.7 to 5.4. Here, hardness units refer to Mos hardness. There is one common misunderstanding for many people: that nephrite jade must be better than soft jade. This viewpoint is completely wrong according to the different hardness between them. Because the quality comparison should be at the same level. Many factors determine the value, such as storage, hardness, oiliness, colors, designs, origin, personal preferences, and more. So it is important to know how to distinguish the quality of natural jade.
Jade stones are non-renewable mineral resources used as natural jewelry. Jade is famous for its ornamental use. People use natural jade jewelry stones to make all kinds of beautifully designed jewelry. Natural jade can be fashioned into bangles, pendants, rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, large statues or sculptures, and other useful and fantastic crafts. Natural jewelry will change your lifestyle. And it is also ideal for a beautiful and unique gift idea.
