| A Jade Rings is considered an auspicious item in Chinese culture, bringing success and good fortune to whoever wears it. Jade is usually worn as an ornamental stone and is divided into two categories. Jade Jewelry Jadeite is an aluminum and sodium rich pyroxene, while Nephrite is made from magnesium and calcium stones. Both of these stones can be used in rings, but nephrite is slightly harder, making it easier to shape and polish. Jade Bangle Most jade jewelry is made from nephrite, because the minerals in this stone cause it to have a green shade. The higher the iron content, the greener the stone is. Jadeite is rarer and far more valuable though, because it can only be found in deep deposits in active faults. Traditionally, a jade ring represents eternal love because a ring represents eternity while jade stands for love. Jade Necklaces The unbreakable nature of jade also stands for harmony and peace, making it a popular stone to be used for weddings. Although diamonds stand for wealth and money, jade is a stone that is much closer to the heart. These stones have been used for thousands of years and were worn by the Ancient Egyptians as wedding rings.
