Here are some more information for Natural Jadeite Jade:
The jadeite jade market remains strong and has been growing over the past few years even when sales of most other types of gemstones and jewelry have been lackluster, to say the least. A growing middle class in China, and a general attraction to Eastern culture in the West, have ignited new interest in this exceptional, significant and fascinating gem.
According to wikinvest.com "Estimates of the size and growth rate of China's middle class vary. Roughly half of China's projected urban population will be middle class in 2025...The first industrial revolution created a 250% increase in per capita income over a 100 year period. The second industrial revolution triggered 350% per capita income growth over 60 years. By comparison, China is on track to create a 700% growth in per capita income in just 20 years."
It is this demographic that has largely inspired the resurgence in the popularity of jadeite jade jewelry. Much of this middle class are younger professionals with disposable funds to invest and enjoy. Sales of the classic indulgences such as travel, fine dining, automobiles and luxury goods are rising at an unprecedented rate in China. Even though many of the worlds designer 'fakes' may be produced in China, the Chinese prefer the finer things in their most genuine and authentic forms. Natural, untreated jadeite jade is one of these finer things. According to a recent article in Jewellery News Asia entitled Jadeite Gains Market Share "The market's appetite for Type 'A' jadeite, which is 100 percent natural and untreated, remains strong...The global economic downturn has not barred consumers from purchasing jadeite." In fact, at recent jadeite jade auctions record prices for jade slabs and lots were not unusual. Many sales resulted in 4.5 times the reserve prices.
Jade has been a vital part of Chinese culture for centuries; as far back as the Neolithic period jade was used and revered. "Known as the 'royal gemstone', jadeite has been inextricably linked to Chinese culture, and has been prized for centuries by emperors, noblemen, poets and China's seriously rich." The value and beauty of jade is one of those wisdoms that have been ingrained in the younger generations. "Modern cuts and trendy designs have further enhanced this priceless treasure's allure, reeling in a younger generation of consumers who also prize jadeite jewellery for its beauty and inherent value"(Jewellery News Asia, July 2010).
"Asia is not the only market that has an insatiable appetite for jadeite. According to US-based jewellery wholesaler Mason-Kay, a rise in the popularity of things Asian in American culture has translated to greater interest in jadeite jewellery"(Jewellery News Asia, July 2010). The article continues on to point to new designers with fresh styles that have contributed to this new generation's interest in jadeite jewelry. Mason-Kay's Azure Collection is mentioned as one of their top selling lines, incorporating exquisite blue sapphires with better green jadeite jade. In the U.S. Mason-Kay has been at the forefront in designer jadeite jade jewelry, earning a best earring finalist position in last years JCK Jewelers Choice Awards with a pair of earrings from their Azure Collection designed exclusively for Mason-Kay by Kristina.
Mason-Kay continues to develop green and lavender jadeite jade designs as well as other jade colors. Mr. Jeff Mason of Mason-Kay Jade also stated they have had much interest and increasing sales of better black nephrite jade. "We have also begun to design our Midnight Collection of better black jade in white gold with diamonds and cabochon coloured gemstones" (Jewellery News Asia, July 2010). Mason-Kay is planning on the debut of the completed Midnight Collection in the spring of 2011.
Award winning jewelry designer, Kristina Brent Mason has been in the jewelry industry since 1991. She worked for a major department store in the jewelry and watch division, then moving on to Mason-Kay Jade, Inc. Her mother is an accomplished artist and her artistic roots took hold early as she often assisted with different projects. These experiences provided her the skills to create her jade creations.

True and false identification methods Jade
Jade jewelry, the most likely to imitate jade, glass imitate, have low levels of natural china gemstone impostor, there are chemical synthetics. And Jade is also different, to mix true and false, that is in the process of natural jade, fake, this is called B Jade Cargo.
Present collection of more and more people enjoying the emerald, the market half-truths mixed together, people really looked confused. In my many years of practical experience, I think because of "species" and identify important. Like to see Jade, first of all depends on whether the restoration of its original species. Jade plants are located in the students for many years told me: I hope the Institute will be able to identify with the naked eye jade B goods. I said, as long as control laws, is not difficult to judge true or false.
Comprehensive observation of the naked eye
■ whether the normal color
After bleaching the jadeite color in general seem less fresh and natural, and there with yellow felt. If the sample while the green and white part of green and white people feel that their boundaries are very clear, the green part of the proliferation of non-natural, and, the bottom too clean.
■ gloss
A similar texture of jade goods reflection is stronger than the B jade goods are relatively weak; to light slowly shaking can be detected. A cargo with shiny glass, but B has a waxy or resin shiny goods.
■ Transparency
Jade Cargo B injected resin because, china jewelry supplier as good as A cargo transparent.
Magnification observation
■ reflected light surface corrosion pits and under the observation of surface cracks. Because after the acid treatment, some jadeite aggregates lower part of the acid, such as feldspar, etc. may be first subjected to dissolution. Therefore, leaving the pit, in the magnifying glass can be observed under reflected light and saw, and experts called "trachoma." But to point out that A cargo of crude soybean seeds have trachoma Jade. Into the resin by acid treatment of jade over time, will appear at the surface of irregular cracks (ie cracks), is generally not deep, this is an important feature of B jade goods. The reason is the aging of the resin.
■ transmitted light, using a magnifying glass observed the phenomenon of internal iron staining. Jade is often dyed a dark presence of iron (called the cat on the water industry), there is crack in the yellow iron staining phenomenon, that this product without bleaching, it is impossible yet there are iron stained. But the yellow will be contracted to pay attention sometimes. Jade usually after bleaching will become more cleaner.
■ crystal structure is destroyed. Gemstone supplier Natural emerald crystal structure changes can be divided into granular structure and fiber change crystal structure of two categories. The former mainly depends on grain size observed is clear or ambiguous. Natural Jade structural boundary is more obvious, and after acid etching and resin cement border of jade is not obvious. The fiber structure is more easily observed, particle slender, arranged in order. The artificial treatment, ordered the destruction of the fibrous crystals lose their direction, arranged disorderly.
Good and bad effects of the above observation method often depends on the individual's appraisal experience, have experience, natural effect, gemstone wholesaler the contrary effect is poor
