Grandmother’s ring—is it jade? Jadeite?

[KristinTech]

I wore this to church today for a little red and green. I was given this ring after my grandmother died. It was made in the 60s, I think. She died in 1974. I was just one month old when she died!

There are definite lines on it (crazing?). The diamonds are single cuts, I can see that clearly with my loupe. She had a decent amount of lab stones made with real gold, so I’m not even sure if this is genuine! It is a special ring to me.

That’s genuine jadeite you have there, a very pretty apple green. The lines are not crazing, they are stone lines that were formed thousands of years ago. Provided the stone was set in the ring in the 60s, it will be undyed and untreated jadeite. Wear it with pride!

Very beautiful! And a wonderful keepsake from your grandmother.
