Jade is an elegant looking stone. It is mainly used as jewelry. The stone has been in fashion for generations. In many cultures, it holds its religious significance. The stone has also been a fashion statement amongst the Royal families. 

The stone is also available in different parts of the world. It has to be mined and so has its value. But all Jade stones may not have the same value.

• You have to consider the purity of the stone when buying
• You can check with the quality online or offline before purchasing
• Good quality stone will always carry a much higher price

So if you want to buy a Jade bracelet or earrings then it is important to evaluate its quality and then pay the price. The price of the stone will differ depending on its color, transparency and quality.

• Color evaluation

The color of the stone is an important factor to determine its quality. Most stones that you come across might be pure green in color. But that does not mean that green is the only color. You can purchase other variations of the stone that are in white, black or rainbow colors. 

Imperial jade is mainly identified by its light green shade. It will also reflect light.

• Transparency evaluation

If you are buying Jade earrings or bracelets, then you have to consider the transparency. The stone is best if it is semi-transparent. When you look at the stone in the light it will appear to be blurred. Good quality stone will also glow when observed in bright light.

If you are opting for opaque quality stone then you may have to pay less price. These types are not much in demand.

• Texture evaluation

Jadestone has a very unique texture and clarity. It is not like other stones that you get in the market. You can search for Jade earrings and bracelets online as well. The stone is hard when touched. It has a heavy density as well.

This is why it is also used for different types of skin-related therapies. The stone can also be identified by its unique shine and lustre. 

• Cut evaluation

Raw Jade stone is not very expensive. If you want a stone that is fine cut then you will have to pay more price. The best thing about Jade is that it can easily be cut into any shape or size. You may have to look around for a Jade bracelet or earrings that look best for you.

When purchasing always check if the stone has cracks or not. There are chances that the stone gets damaged if not cut perfectly.

• Size evaluation

The stone is dense and so if its size increases its weight will also increase. This is why people often select small-sized stones for use as jewelry. Bigger Jade stones are usually used for therapy purposes. The stone is also measured in millimeters.

Finally, you need to focus on the price. If the stone is pure then it is highly valuable. Fake versions are cheap but they may never resemble the original Jade stones.
