Washington State Nephrite Jade Ring "Midnight Blue" 1
350,00$
Here is one that should catch attention. This is a modern ring made with midnight blue colored nephrite jade from Washington state. This is a very rare color. It also has inclusions that look like gold but are iron pyrite. This was fun to make and love the outcome. Super killer dark blue. The sides of the rings are slightly concave for better comfort next to other fingers. Really nice polish and clean edges. I do have more of this material if someone wants a different design.

Material History
Washington State Nephrite Jade
The jade found in Washington State is similiar to many locations where jade is found. There is high quality and there is low quality. Basically, it varies a lot. I would say it is more rare to have high quality jade from Washington state but do recognize that some of their jade is spectacular. It is not mined and usually found as river stones or near river beds.
About
Proud to say one of my specialties at Jadedivers.com is making one of kind custom beads found almost no where in the world. Most of my beads are going to have cone tapered ends that are deburred and polished. My photos are taken to show the natural colors without photo enhancements. I believe this will best represent the colors and promote repeat customers. Yes, I also make rings!
** Note: Many items stated to be "Jade" on Etsy and Ebay are not. In many cases, price does not indicate this either so buying an expensive item may be a jade replica like glass. There are many other stones including agate, grossular garnet, serpentine (many forms), aventurine... being sold as jade. To make it worse and more complicated, many jadeite stones are being reconditioned and died to be very attractive so they pass general tests to be real. If you see very clear bangles, odds are they are agate, glass or something else. If you see very bright colors of red, yellow, purple... most likely not real. I say this as many buyers are being fooled on-line by these practices.
