Green Jade Jewelry Has Value and Fashion

Throughout history one stone has been revered above all others. This amazing stone, usually showing up as a translucent stone with a powerful energy to be touched, is known today as jade.

Jade is a name which we give to two different types of minerals, these being nephrite and jadeite.

Nephrite is a more common stone than its expensive counterpart. Though more common and therefore less expensive, this stone is the one which the Chinese have loved and adored for thousands of years. Children were named after this stone to show the parents eternal love for their child, in Chinese this was “Yu”, elixirs were made from jade with the belief that the person who drank it would live forever and weapons were forged with it for its superior hardness.

In China wars were fought over a precious white jade seal, known as the He Shi Bi or the Imperial Seal of China. This stone was of impeccable quality, superior to all others. However owned this ancient seal was believed to be the divinely chosen leader of a united China. Though this jade seal has been lost to history its power still emanates today.

While jade has historically been the most valued by the Chinese, though today green jade is by far the most valuable of all jade jewelry.

Though nephrite is the historical gem of China, today the most valuable pieces of jade are actually jadeite because of its rarity. Commercial amounts of this gem come out of Burma and flawless, gem quality pieces can fetch almost outrageous prices.

So be sure to set your expectations high in terms of price and value. A green jade necklace is not going to be the same price as the typical fashion necklaces you purchase on the web. Remember when looking at prices of jade that jade is to the east as diamonds are to the west. Each piece is unique and is believed to actually have a mind of its own. This fact is obvious when looking into a gem stone, easily getting lost in its eternal depths and vivid colors, the sun shining right through the stone yet it being one of the toughest natural substances on earth.

Since generations man has continued to have attraction to many gems and precious stones, but one stone continues to top the list till date. Yes, you guessed it right; it’s a diamond that we find most mesmerizing. Diamonds are known to have changed course of history and were the cause of quite many wars. These days, however, you get man made diamonds that have the features and appearance of natural diamonds. If you are considering buying jewelry, you have a good option in the form of man made diamonds jewelry. But, here are a few things you would do well to understand about man made diamonds.

Henri Moissan, who won Nobel Prize for chemistry towards the beginning of twentieth century set the ball rolling for developing man made diamonds. He developed a method to crystallize carbon for creating man made diamonds. Modern technology offers two options for creating such diamonds: high pressure high temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

The quality and appearance of diamonds produced by employing these technological processes is as good as any natural diamond. In fact, only an expert can make out the difference between the natural and man made diamonds. Though the process of creating quality man made diamonds is quite akin to the natural process, traders of diamonds refuse to give value to such diamonds. The manufacturers of such diamonds didn’t like these diamonds to be called as man made diamonds and coined a new name for them “cultured diamonds”.

A very interesting feature of cultured diamonds is that their characteristic hardness and durability allows them to be used for many industrial applications. Industrial cutting tools largely employ man made diamonds. The lower cost of these diamonds is prompting their use in radiation detection devices and for making electrodes.

An average consumer is sure to be attracted by the cost of cultured diamonds. Now, you could afford to buy man made diamonds at a fraction of the cost of natural diamonds. But, these are bit difficult to find at jewelry shops and the manufacturers are already trying hard to make their produce more acceptable and accessible to buyers of fine jewelry and fashion jewelry.
