Jade Necklaces - Jade Stone Necklaces
True nephrite and jadeite are the "real" forms of jade although what most of us commonly see called jade is actually serpentine. So-called "candy" jade in different colors is really not jade at all, but a jasper. On this page of jade necklaces, while I do come across some true jade, most of what you will see is actually serpentine which looks like jade and is often just as beautiful. In fact, even some of the beautiful ancient Chinese "jade" carvings have been found to be serpentine.
