What Is Authentic Jade? When people talk about genuine jade, they are usually referring to two stones: Jadeite and Nephrite....
Jade is a remarkable gemstone known for bringing good luck, prosperity, and protection. In the hands of someone who truly appreciates it, jade radiates positive energy, guiding you toward a healthier, happier, and more harmonious life.
Not all jade is truly natural. Many pieces are chemically treated to enhance their appearance, which can make the stone fragile, less valuable, and potentially unsafe. Only Grade A, untreated jade is authentic and enduring. At Real Jade Co, every jadeite jade piece is guaranteed 100% natural and untreated.
Jade is one of the toughest gemstones, allowing it to be intricately carved into bangles, dragons, and Buddhas. While diamonds are harder and rank higher on the Mohs scale, jade is tougher, meaning it resists breaking, chipping, and cracking better. Learn more about the difference between hardness and toughness on our Jade Education Blog.
The value of jade depends on six key factors: texture, translucency, color, carat, craftsmanship, and clarity. Higher-quality jade has a fine, smooth texture, vibrant color, good transparency, precise carving, larger size, and few inclusions. At Real Jade Co, all jadeite jade is authentic, natural, and untreated, ensuring lasting beauty and value.
Finding the right jade bangle size is essential because jade bracelets are rigid and do not stretch. To ensure a comfortable and secure fit, measure either your palm diameter or hand circumference, then use a sizing chart to select the correct bangle. At Real Jade Co, all jadeite bangles are authentic, natural, and guaranteed.
