Far away lands and exotic travel have been one of the most consistent themes in jewelry since the 1700s. Jewelry design firms sought to incorporate unique and exotic materials matched with sharper linear geometric designs then previously found before the Art Deco period to create that same mysterious allure in an object which can be worn fashionably as a statement piece accessory. Over the years many of the most famous firms have drawn from the exotic elements of Green Jade by incorporating the stone in the design concept to generate such an effect and draw further from the Asian style giving its creation an infusion of vibrant hues of color to produce some of the most elegant, sophisticated and visually stunning designs during this period. Demonstrated by the following mentioned design characteristics above to carefully produce this creation which may hold many meanings in many different cultures historically, we have listed some examples below for you to enjoy. Symbolism of Jade Stone types, Color & Its Meaning in Jewelry History & Culture The importance of Jade stone in Chinese culture is reflected in its status as a symbol of goodness, preciousness and beauty. To the Chinese and many other cultures, jade stone is also the embodiment of the Confucian virtues of courage, wisdom, modesty, justice and compassion. While the beautiful translucent color and the ease with which jade can be shaped and carved certainly account for much of its popularity historically, jade resonates on a deeper spiritual level in many of the world's traditions. It is one of the most important of minerals in the practice of Feng Shui, for example as seen in Jade jewelry as popular Feng Shui application for balancing the body’s energy to create serene feelings of harmony and balance. The polish and brilliance of jade stone is considered by the Chinese to be representative of purity while its compactness and hardness reflect intelligence. Justice is represented by its angles and the sound produced by it when it is struck is a symbol of music. The color of jade stone depicts loyalty while its flaws reflect sincerity. The Chinese also value jade stone because of its brightness; representing heaven, while its substance is representative of the earth. Additionally, the meaning of the jade stone is also accepted for purity or purification. It has a soothing purity about it, and it goes about purifying your energy field in a manner that is accepting, loving, and wise. And because jade is regarded as a stone that protects and supports loving heart energy, jade carries a sweet, light and nourishing energy that can feel very healing also symbolizing gentleness and nourishment. For some users of jade, the stone may have the feeling of an ancient sage that is so centered that merely being in its presence creates a feeling of being elevated and nurtured.
