About Our Jade Earrings

Derived from the Spanish word piedra de ijada or “loin stone”, jade has been and continues to be a worldwide favorite.  Thus named  because it was traditionally used for ailments of the loins and kidneys, jade has also been used as a means of adornment and as a material to make everyday items and even statues for hundreds of years.   While many know about Chinese jade, jade also comes from countries like Burma, Guatemala and New Zealand and has played a role in traditional religious rituals as well as early writings.

Something we can all agree on though is that jade makes beautiful jewelry!  Jade was so valuable in some countries that it was revered as much as we revere diamonds and gold in the West. It comes in varying colors- greens, purples, blues, and white being the rarest. We carry many jade earrings featuring sterling silver and gold backings. Also available are one of a kind jade bracelets-multi colored and featuring sterling silver clasps.  Gem Avenue makes it easy for you to look and feel like an empress with our jade jewelry collection of earrings, necklaces, pedants, bracelets, and rings.
