In this report we will limit our discussion to gents green jade rings with natural jade gemstones, let us leave out the fakes and imitations. Jade is a generic name and encompasses two stones nephrite and jadeite. Humans had their first encounter with jade in the from of nephrite, this is true even of Chinese civilization where nephrite jade has been known and respected for thousands of years. The much sought after jade today is jadeite which comes almost exclusively from the Burmese mines. The Chinese learnt of the gorgeous green gem jadeite, just 3-4 centuries ago. The location of the jadeite mines in Burma have been isolated for many decades, few outsiders have access to the mines which are located in the northern region at Kachin. The mystery surrounding the exact origin of the stone and the range of green hues in which jadeite jade is found, have impressed the west and this has given the gem a steady demand in those countries. The Chinese affinity for jade is about passion, religion and ancient customs. Jade is called 'yu' in China and is believed to bring good luck, fortune and wealth. More importantly, the belief in China is that, green jade helps connect the physical body with our spiritual existence and elements.
Jadeite and Nephrite: Kaisilver gents jade rings can be ordered with nephrite or jadeite, as mentioned above the generic name jade includes both stones.

Untreated or Dyed: If you wish to wear your gents green jade ring with some traditional belief, you might want to choose a moderately priced natural green jade gem that is cut and polished but not treated in any way. This will also be the case for buyers with knowledge of gemstones who would, appreciate wearing a gem in its natural condition. A gold or silver jade ring for gents with a dyed gem, would have a natural gemstone but in this case, the gem would be treated to enhance its appearance and color. You can specify the 'untreated or dyed' gem requirement when ordering your green jade ring. A gents ring with green jade that has been dyed, will have a more expensive look despite the modest price tag. Most jewelers do not specify the treated or untreated nature of jade, buyers are unaware of these details and therefore do not ask for a confirmation. At Kaisilver we prefer to educate buyers before a sale is made, this builds a win-win scenario and also works for the good of the industry and trade as a whole. Requirements for high quality jadeite jade with at high price points implies, that the gem is untreated. Large investments in jade running into several thousand dollars, should always be accompanied by a gem authentication certified from a reputed laboratory. There are dozens of small gem testing labs but, it is best to use reputed ones like GIA, AIGS and GIT - this if you happen to buy from Thailand or surrounding countries. Depending on the total amount that you order, the bill for certification might be borne by the buyer or the seller. Certification charges can range from 75 U.S$ to 150 U.S$ per gem certified , depending on the lab that does the testing.

Long Lasting: Talking about our gents jade rings, we can confidently say that the gold or silver ring is invested with optimum metal weight. This is the foundation of a sturdy ring that will withstand frequent and prolonged use. In most cases you will find that, the gold or silver weight assigned to Kaisilver jewelry is about 40% to 50% more than, what other jewelers would provide for such designs. Durability of a jewel is not dependent solely on metal weight, workmanship also plays an important role. The expertise and skills of our dedicated craftsmen and artisans, work to ensure that you get a superior jade gents ring. Jade has since ancient times been known for its toughness. The interwoven fibrous composition of the gem is not visible to the naked eye but, this is something that adds strength and resilience to the gemstone. The type of gem setting used and the height of the gem, can also decide how long lasting the ring is. Most of the gents gold and silver rings on our website have the gem mounted with a bezel setting, this is where the entire rim of the gem is bordered with metal. This is true of the 2 gents green jade rings shown on this web page too. Our thorough design research has confirmed that the bezel setting provides for a secure mount, the edges of the gem are prevented from getting damaged by side impact. Prongs have a tendency to get stuck in fabric, this can cause them to get pulled and loosen the gem. But if a specific design does look better with prong settings, we will ensure that the prongs are sufficiently sturdy and not sharp or pointed. Since most gems are sold based on weight and priced per carat, there is a tendency for sellers to cut jade with a big depth. While the depth of a gem should be proportionate to the other dimensions, a very high stone is more likely to hit against hard surfaces and objects. At Kaisilver we generally custom cut all gems and this allows us to maintain, ideal proportions for the gem in your gents jade ring.
