Wyoming jade orange coral flower pendant, sterling silver. March gift
For this pendant I upcycled a lovely sterling silver antique flower from Indonesia. The flower has been fastened to a thin slice of Wyoming jade. An orange coral has been set in the middle of the flower. The jade is half translucent and shining.
The pendant is about 1 inch/ 2,5 cm large
The jade-coral combination is the classic combination for the last week of March. The green and the orange symbolize the spring, with its fertile power.
The people of Aries from March 21 to April 20 or whose name starts with A, L, E, I, O can wear coral stone. Red Coral is organic gemstone formed under the sea by marine creatures. Red Coral is a warrior stone that reminds us of the beauty that is stashed deep within us all. The cosmic rays of coral gemstone can help enhance all the aspects of an Aries native. It can help them overcome the obstacles in their lives and achieve prosperity, success and happiness.
Jade is a notoriously lucky gem known for its splendid, marbled green hues. It’s also an Aries birthstone for March.
Since Aries tend to have tunnel vision, jade widens their view and creates a space for their inner wisdom to bloom. The mineral also serves as a chakra stone for Aries, clearing blocks within the heart, often attributing to their self-centric nature.
Nicknamed the “Stone of the Heart,” jade is also the traditional stone gifted to your beloved on the 12th wedding anniversary.

If you wonder how Wyoming jade has come to the Netherlands. I received some Wyoming jades form my friend living there.
The term jade is applied to two distinct and unrelated mineral species.
Wyoming Jade is nephrite. Sinkankas (1959) considered Wyoming Jade to be some of the finest nephrite in the world. Wyoming Jade varies from translucent to opaque. Most nephrite contains some inclusions, which can affect its ability to take a polish. Lighter and brighter colors are rarer and are generally valued more highly than darker colors. Similarly, more translucent nephrite commands higher prices than nearly opaque material. These factors and their interrelationships determine the overall assessment of an individual piece of jade. Finished pieces of high-quality material vary upward from a few carats to many kilograms. Only about 10 percent of most nephrite deposits are considered gem quality.
