Trendy Earrings - Jade

Jade is a very significant type of gemstone. It is a well-known gemstone around the world. It was very popular in ancient China because it was considered to be the “imperial gem”, China identifies Jade to be more valuable than silver and gold. In my opinion, I would say that silver and gold still holds the “greater” value. Silver and gold are heavier and more dazzling when being seen with one. Nonetheless, Jade still holds a vital value to the people who takes pleasure in its significant meanings.

When wearing big fancy earrings, particularly gold earrings the size of a thumb, it is astounding. People will start thinking that you are boastful. This style is more for a fancy high class ballroom dancer or some musical award ceremony. However, something more subtle like jade earrings can form a more calm and passive look. It is more casual and formal. Jade has been important to Chinese people and to the Chinese history. It is a virtuous gemstone because it symbolizes hardness, durability, and beauty. For example, they would think jade can protect them from evil spirits. A lot of people would believe this to be true and buy jade for that reason. Jade earrings usually come in different designs. They can come in different colors and sizes and shapes. There are hard and soft jades as well as different shades of jade. Gold earrings, on the other hand, are only different by their design and karats of gold. Majority of gold looks the same but has different designs. I would say jade has more variety.



Gold and jade clip on earrings are not as popular as regular earrings but are still used throughout the world. It seems to me that the more people who gets familiar with jade, the more people want to put their hands on some. When I saw jade in real life, I felt that I needed to get one. Although it's not the most shimmering and glittering gemstone, I felt a connection, like nothing I felt before. It also makes me feel a little more confident.
