2.3ct Turkish Purple Jade Swirl Design Earrings Sterling Silver

A uniquely beautiful twist on an ancient gemstone, Turkish Purple Jade is only found in one place in the world; the Bursa Province in Turkey’s Marmara Region. The true emperor of Chinese jewelry, Jade was also prized in Aztec, Maori, Mayan, Native American, Olmec, and Toltec cultures. Incredibly beautiful, immensely collectable, and undeniably rare, Turkish Purple Jade is a treasured addition to any jewelry collection.

Jade sources include Australia, Burma, China, Guatemala, Japan, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the USA. While the concentration of Jadeite in Turkish Purple Jade is 40 60 percent, it still has a similar scarcity and price as other lavender/purple Jadeites, as these are some of Jadeite’s rarest hues. As Turkish Purple Jade’s sole source is now depleted, it is extremely difficult to obtain. Once our supply is exhausted, there is no more. Given this historic rarity, Turkey is considering designating it a ‘National Heritage Stone’. Turkish Purple Jade is also totally natural and unenhanced.
