Jade has been treasured in China as
the royal gemstone with its even and intense green colour. For
many years, Jade has been a symbol of love, virtue and status.
Jade is usually cut into smooth dome shapes called cabochons.
They are also used to create beautiful pieces of jewellery.
Different from other gemstones, jade are sold in pieces and not
in carats. Next to colour, consumers should also pay attention
to its translucency and texture (uniformity).
