Jade & Jewelry Guides for Buying With Confidence
Practical explanations of jadeite, nephrite, jewelry trade names, material reports, sizing, and care. Our goal is to make unfamiliar terms clearer, so you can compare pieces, understand the documentation shown, and choose with greater confidence.
How We Write Our Guides
Material Names Made Clear
We distinguish jadeite and nephrite from quartzite, chalcedony, aventurine, and other materials that may carry commercial “jade” names.
Evidence Kept Product-Specific
Documentation is explained in context. A report for one piece should never be treated as evidence for every product.
Practical, Careful Guidance
We explain what buyers can observe and verify without presenting subjective beauty or market value as scientific fact.
