Jade rings represent eternity and love, since any ring is a metaphor for timelessness and jade stones have stood for peace and harmony for centuries due to their sustainable nature. Jade has also been said to be closer to the heart than diamonds, which represent wealth and power. Real jade rings have naturally progressed to become a favorite among the newly engaged.
While jade is especially popular for rings currently, the practice dates back to the ancient Egyptians who used them as wedding rings. The ancient Chinese also held them in high esteem, referring to jade as a “royal gem,” and furnishing jade rings in the same fashion that Westerners have been using gold and diamonds. Such real jade rings are now collected as valued antiques.

Jade, made from two types of rock, nephrite and jadeite, is highly valuable. The Chinese have been purchasing luxury items like jade in bulk, leading to its double-digit growth in recent years. It can be actually worth more than gold, though there is no “jade index” that specifies its price per ounce, so collectors look for the size, shape, transparency, and texture to determine value. However, because it is such a specialized market, investors are much more likely to invest in authentic jade rings and other jewelry since they have a broader appeal.
Varieties of Real Jade Rings
Jade rings made of genuine gemstone come in many variations, including solid types that are made purely from the stone, and the more common types that are set in precious metals such as sterling silver, brass, or gold. Many come in the different shades of gold, such as rose, yellow, and white.

Speaking of colors, jade is nearly synonymous with the color green, but the stone comes in a wide variety of hues, including icy white, blue, lavender, and yellow. Remember that for real jade rings, the clearer the stone, the more value it inherently has. Of course, the greener stones are the most valuable and most beloved, and are the most popular color to adorn jade rings.
