Many people, especially Chinese people, love to wear jade because it has the meanings of auspiciousness, warding off evil spirits and ensuring peace. Jade originally was the name of a certain bird. The feathers of the male jade bird are bright red, while those of the female are emerald green. The colors are extremely beautiful. Due to the fact that most jade produced in nature is green and red, the term "jade" gradually changed from referring to a bird to referring to jade itself.
The common colors of various jadeite include green, colorless, white, black, purple, blue, pink, yellow, red, etc. The jadeite after carving has a glass-like luster and an oily luster. When choosing jadeite, one should pay attention to its quality, thickness, color depth and uniformity, transparency, and carving techniques.
