The price of jade from Burma is at an all time high, it is the Chinese demand for the finest Burmese jade that fuels this consistent price rise. China began its passion with jade more than 3,000 years ago, much of the jade at that time was nephrite jade that was mined within the country. Around 300 years ago, China was introduced to fine quality green jade from Myanmar (Burma). The gemstone from Burma was jadeite jade, good color and translucence meant that, a high price point could be set. The fine jade in Burma is referred to as Imperial Jade, this gem can cost as much as good quality ruby and sapphire would, per carat. If jade is indeed so very expensive, what are the options available for jade lovers with modest budgets, to spend on the gemstone. In this report we will talk about untreated jade gems and also mention dyed jade gemstones. A gem enthusiast with some knowledge about gems would surely be thrilled to own an untreated natural gem even though, it might not be the finest specimen available in that gem species. This is especially true of believers in the special powers (metaphysical properties) of crystals and gems. Wearing a 'pure' gem refers to a gem that is not treated to enhance its appearance, the gem need not be the finest quality.
Affordable Untreated Burmese Jade: A very tiny portion of the demand for fine green jade can be met with the little Imperial Jade that is found each year. For most of us this, high quality jade is merely of academic interest since prices are way too high - often reaching 2,000 U.S$ or more per carat. So let us talk about affordable price options for green jade from Burma. Since most of the commercial jade sent to gem markets is dyed to improve its perceived value, getting untreated gems can be challenging. Kaisilver works directly with Kachin gem providers in the Northern part of Bangkok, now called Myanmar. Gems are closely inspected to ensure that they fulfill two essential criteria the first being that, they can be cut into well shaped and polished gems. The second criteria is that, these untreated Burmese jade pieces should be priced moderately. Of the 2,000 to 3,000 pieces that we inspect on each trip, we consider ourselves to be lucky if we manage to pick 100-200 pieces. The stones are brought back to Thailand and cut and polished in Bangkok. The image shows one collection of untreated green jade from Burma, the results of 3 days of searching near the Burmese mining areas. We can custom make some amazing jade rings, pendants or even bracelets, with these modestly priced untreated green jadeite from the most preferred source for jade - Myanmar (Burma).
Affordable Dyed (Treated) Burmese Jade: Contrary to what the strict gemologist might advice you, there is absolutely nothing wrong in buying or selling green jade that has been dyed to enhance color. The important thing is that the buyer and the seller need to know exactly what is being sold and purchased and that, the price should reflect the material being traded. At Kaisilver we strongly believe that it remains the duty of the seller to disclose, whether the green jade being sold is treated or untreated. Dyeing green jade can follow a single step or double step process. In the first method the dyeing process begins on the stone without any bleaching being done, the results give the jade a more naturally occurring look. It is not uncommon for the jade to be bleached before dyeing it, this offers a prettier and more uniformly spread color enhancement. At Kaisilver you can order custom jadeite rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets and specify treated (dyed) or untreated gems. Dyed jadeite can give a luxury look to a jade jewel but, buyers who have knowledge about gems appreciate wearing gems that are not treated - the choice is always yours. Take a look at the dyed jadeite gems from Burma in the JAD002 image, a retail price for these gems would be in the below 50 U.S$ per carat range. However if you wish to have natural untreated jade with similar color, expect to pay around 500 U.S$ to 1,000 U.S$ per carat and prices move up as the gem size increases.
