The term "jade" can denote two distinct minerals, Jadeite and Nephrite, depending on geographical location. In East Asian countries such as Burma (Myanmar), the term "jade" specifically refers to Jadeite. Conversely, in New Zealand, Nephrite is the mineral identified as jade. While both jades share some similarities, such as their mineral composition, they also have differences, including their chemical compositions, colors, and crystal structures.
Types of Jade Pendants
While jade pendants are typically carved solely out of jadeite or nephrite, some modern designs incorporate precious metals such as gold or silver with the carved jade. These gold jade pendants can also be assented with diamonds and other precious gemstones.
