Probably the most popular are jade bangles and
pendants with a Buddha image carved into.
Most popular colors are white, lavender and
green, actually there is a wide variation of colors
available, all colors from the rainbow are
available. Chinese women like this type of body
decoration with a mythical touch since it is said,
this is a living stone and there is a long tradition
over several thousand years to use jadeite and
nephrite.
Jades are usually used alone without other
stones or materials. Sometimes pretty compositions
with gold, diamonds and other precious stones are
offered with this gemstones.
The main crucial parameters are texture, translucency, color
and clearness, means no cracks and similar.
The
better the green jade color is and the higher the
transparency of the stone the higher the value. It
needs a close look with a magnifying lens since
there are crooks that treat the stones with resins
and colors under high pressure to fill cracks and
enhance colors. This looks good in the beginning but
after about 2 years the enhancements disappear and
the true stuff comes out, usually you can throw the
piece away. |
