The Colorful World of Jade: A Guide to Jade Bracelet Colors
Jade, a gemstone revered for centuries, comes in a stunning array of colors. Each hue carries its own unique beauty and significance. Let's explore the vibrant world of jade bracelet colors and their characteristics.

As beautiful as violet flowers, purple jade can be divided into pink-purple, eggplant purple, and blue-purple shades. This rare color is highly prized for its elegance and rarity.

In the industry, jade that is entirely green is referred to as "full green jade". This classic color is often the most sought-after in jade jewelry.
3. Mid-levels
This term is mostly used to describe jade bracelets that are half dark and half light in color, creating an interesting contrast.
