Jade Jewelry–Beautiful!
True jade can be either of two different minerals, jadeite or nephrite. Both variations of jade are tough stones that don’t break or chip easily. All jade typically has a medium to high polish. We see so much green jade that it’s easy to forget the gemstone occurs in other colors. Jadeite is the more rare of the two jade variations, and the most expensive. Most of the world’s supply of fine jadeite comes from Burma, but deposits are found in Guatemala and a few other areas around the world. Jadeite occurs in many colors, including greens, white, lavender, yellows and oranges, black and reds. Evenly colored, translucent emerald green jadeite is called Imperial Jade. Jadeite ranks at about 7 on the Mohs scale, compared to 10 for a diamond, but jade is a tough mineral that resists chipping and breaking. Jade is considered one of the most stunning gemstones available, and with its low cost and incredible versatility, it’s no wonder jade jewelry is so popular. Jade jewelry has a decidedly masculine appearance, especially when it is set into simple settings and paired with sleek metals. If you are looking for men’s jewelry with gleaming gemstones and a laid-back aesthetic, then consider men’s jade jewelry. Men’s jade jewelry selections, such as lustrous rings, textured bracelets, mystical pendants and simple earrings, quickly add value to any jewelry collection.

Many men prefer gemstone jewelry with green, blue, red or white jade while others will love the bright colors of pink, purple and yellow jade jewelry.
