Material History

Olmec blue jade history:


Scholars searched for half a century to find the prized blue jadeite of the Olmecs and Mayan’s. It was re-discovered in 2002 after the local hurricane devastated the local forests and people which exposed the jadeite veins in 1998. This jadeite material rivals the best from Myanmar, formerly Burma. The Olmecs of the pre-Columbian era considered this jade more valuable than gold. It is believed that the Olmecs believed that the blue jade is most prized and the kings and their families were always buried with it for acceptance into the next life.

About

MY EARRINGS: Most of my earrings are made to enhance the colors and translucency of the jade/material they are made of. They can be cut thin to very thin so that when light enriches them, they glow. I also do this with some styles where the thin edges may glow. Some materials love light, some, the more opaque materials can show the colors in both light and darker environments. Most of my earrings are "book marked" with means cutting side by side to have similar patterns on both earrings. I also always take consideration of the weight of the earring for more comfortable wear. All these design considerations are hopefully to your delight.

 

** 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.
