MATERIALS
Jade/Jadeite
A smooth green stone with even texture that has long been used for carving and for jewelry.The term jade refers to two minerals: jadeite and nephrite. These minerals are similar in appearance but jadeite has more intense color and translucency so is more highly valued and thought to be the true jade. Colors of jade vary from mottled green and white, to yellow, pink, purple, and black.
Oxidized Silver
Oxidation is a chemical reaction between the metal surface and oxygen that changes the appearance of the silver permanently to a burnished gray.
Item Special Note
Jade is an ancient symbol of love and virtue.
