Jade Ruby Diamond Earrings

Fine dangle earrings set with jadeite jade and ruby and accented with diamonds in 18k.

The jade is a deep green out of light, luminous and lush, which brightens in light.

Due to its luminous quality, this is the deep green tone that has very often been sold as imperial green jade.

(True imperial green jade is more than luminous. Its luminosity is flawless or near flawless under the loupe, a very hard thing for that specific tone of jade.)

The farther away this green is from apple green jade, the more it is perceived as imperial green when it achieves a certain level of lustre.

This tone of green is very lovely on the ears, set with a single ruby in the classical oval and teardrop style it remains a simple type of classic.

The form is very slender, the jade shapes are drawn out long.

These ‘shapes’ are substantial, not small – each of the four jade pieces could be a statement cabochon ring on its own.

The earrings are 4.5cm long and 1.2 widest.

The earrings have a ‘flat’ or streamlined aspect that has great allure in an Art Deco pair of dangle earrings.

Around the teardrop the diamonds graduate in size, a small detail that means design.

To be striking means this pair is not a dainty style, but the slender form at this size is very feminine.

The idea is there would be a larger jade ring to complement, or a pendant/necklace hovering by the ears.

The luminous aura of the jade photographs very well, and it is how they photograph on the person.

High quality jade translates to valued jewelry when it finds a way of mapping aura to charisma.

Superb diamonds weigh 3.4ctw; unheated rubies weigh 1.8ctw.
