JADE
Jade can form in a variety of colors , but the finest jade is vibrant green , otherwise known as imperial jade . Jade often takes the form of large boulders weighing several tons . Throughout history , jade has been used in everything from weapons to carvings to fine jewelry . Jadeite ’ s inner structure scatters light which can create a unique shine when lit , the perfect attribute for your next piece !
EMERALD
Coveted by mighty rulers and Hollywood royalty , emerald has been a staple of fine jewelry for a seriously long time . Emerald mines date back to 3500 BCE , and the oldest emerald ever discovered was over 2.9 billion years old ! With a relatively low density , a one-carat emerald looks larger to the eye than a one-carat diamond , making it the perfect way to add a little oomph to your piece .
