Jewelry Jottings by Danna Lea

The Chinese divided jade into nine colors, but fine jade in all these colors is perhaps best described by Confucius when he said "It is of warm liquid like benevolence; it is solid, strong and firm like politeness. When struck, it gives out a pure, far-reaching sound like magic, and like truth, it gives out a bright rainbow. There is no one that does not value it."

With a world-wide history to enhance their values, jade rings, pendants, necklaces, earrings and bracelets are becoming more popular in America, where jade is both bright green highly translucent and highly valued. Stop in and see our selection.

Mother's Day just around the corner, give her the gift of jade.
