First comes
love...then comes Simmons and Clark
Jade
Jade"s
colors range from shades of green to blue, yellow,
red, lavender, gray and black, but experts call
the ideal shade ñemerald green.î
Jadeite,
the most prized form of jade, is one of the toughest
known minerals. It is valued for both carving
and for setting in jewelry. Although never completely
transparent, the closer the gemstone comes to
being transparent, the more value it has. Other
quality considerations are color, uniformity,
clarity and brightness.
A
gift of jade is suggested as the anniversary gemstone
for the twelfth year of marriage.
Found
in Burma, jadeite may well be the world"s only
gemstone that is still used as much for an amulet
as for adornment. Millions of Asians wear jadeite
jewelry for good luck and health. For centuries
its possession has been thought to give the owner
power, knowledge, pure thoughts, long life and
immortality.
