produced in Myanmar. The pearly translucence of jade combined with the

stone like moss on snow which is highly sought after if chosen for the
jade and diamond ring makes the jewelry costlier. There is no end to
myths associated with jade. It was believed that jade had the power

The Europeans learned
the use of jade in jewelry only in the 16th century when
this gemstone was started to be imported into Europe from China. The
Portuguese believed that jade had the healing power for kidney ailments.
The reason may be the jade in ancient China was nephrite jade, the term
â€nephros†in Greek meaning kidney. However the jade now used in
a jade and diamond ring is not the Chinese type nephrite but the pyroxene
mineral jadeite discovered in Central America in the 19th
century. The jade and diamond ring with a vivid green jadeite is considered
by many people as a prized possession.
