Jade Types, Care, Identification & Value found in Family Estates

Jade can be worth a small fortune and many times hidden in family estates. Gina Watson, G.G. GIA Gemologist, discusses Jade Identification for beginners discovering jade in their family’s jewelry, and collectables. Legacy Jewelry Appraisers & Buyers founder, Gina Watson has worked in the industry with multi-generational families and believes that once you know what to look for money could help family matters. With nearly 40 years’ experience her videos are geared to enlighten us through difficult decisions we all face. “As elders get older, many times valuables are hidden and without their knowledge of cash which could help their current financial needs”. “All too often, the younger generations don’t want passed down jewelry which could have been sold to help the elders”.
Realizing value & discovering is what Legacy’s Gina Watson will be discussing through many facets of family dynamics & her lifetime experience working with families & estates.
Since, 1984 she has been buying , selling and working with elders as guest appearances through local television & clubs.

Not exactly. Jadeite comes in an array of different colors…all shades of green, yellow, brown, pink, lavender, blue, white, black, red, icy clear, and it can be opaque to highly translucent. Nephrite can come in dark or spinach green, white, or light browns. It’s almost always opaque. Both minerals are dense and can feel cold to the touch. Jadeite is also slightly harder than nephrite.
