Jade jewelry is mostly well known in the eastern parts of the world. It has long been worshipped as the most devine gem in ancient China. It was used in all purposes, from protection, good luck, good fortune, to good health, and peace. It was also used as a status symbol. The rich would often wear the best specimens somewhere apparent, such as on top of the hat or wrapped around the thumb.

There are two forms of jade, the traditional kind that's of a deeper and darker green, and jadeite, a more expensive variety that come in brighter colors such as green, white, yellow, purple, red, and black.

When shopping for jade jewelry, the color is the most important factor to look at. Avoid ones with cracks embedded within the stone's body, since that would weaken the gem and make it more brittle.
