NEPHRITE - JADE: Meaning & Properties

▸ HISTORY

Jade or “yu” (meaning precious stone) as it is called in China, is the family name for Jadeite and Nephrite. The name nephrite is derived from lapis nephriticus, which in turn is derived from Greek λίθος νεφριτικός; νεφρός λίθος, which means 'kidney stone' and is the Latin and Greek version of the Spanish piedra de ijada (the origin of "jade" and "jadeite"). Accordingly, nephrite jade was once believed to be a cure for kidney stones.

This is a long green gemstone necklace made with big nephrite beads and aventurine chips. At the bottom hangs a large green-emerald tassel with pave strass cap.

♡ Creation = Love = Offer

I am a woman who loves being creative in all possible ways. Since I remember myself, I love to create. At first, was painting and the engraving art, later sewing, knitting, making jewelry.

I had always been creative and artistic and I believe that I have an inherent look for elegance and design. However, I studied accounting and I opened my own accounting office at a very early age. Although I loved what I did, the increasing volume of work and the high demands and risks of that job, made me feel suffocating.
