Color is jadeite’s most important value factor.
Because consumers traditionally associate jadeite
with the color green, it surprises some people to
learn that it comes in other colors as well lavender,
red, orange, yellow, brown, white, black, and gray. All
of these colors can be attractive. But jadeite’s most
desirable color is, in fact, a very specific shade of green.
The finest-quality jadeite almost transparent with a vibrant emerald-green color is known as “Imperial jade.”
The royal court of China once had a standing
order for all available material of this
kind, and it’s one of the world’s most expensive gems.
