FAQ
Jade Jewelry
Isn't jade only in green?
There is actually a spectrum of different colors of jade. At TRACE, we use only natural, untreated jadeite jade, which can be apple green to dark green, or white, black, lavender, yellow, and even red.
Is your jade genuine Grade A jadeite?
We guarantee that our jade is 100% natural, untreated Grade A jadeite. If our product is discovered to be treated or dyed at a reputable laboratory, we will issue a full refund for your purchase.
Does jade change color over time?
There are traditional believes that jade can turn color when it has been in contact with skin for a period of time. The theory is that with the wearer's body warmth and oils, the more intense patches of color in the jade stone may even out.
However, there is no scientific proof on the theories about jade and its relationship to its wearer. Though these may be myths, we simply love wearing jade all the time!
How do I care for my jewelry?
Keep your TRACE fine jewelry in its original gift pouch to avoid scratches. Remove your jewelry when swimming or showering. Shine your jewelry with a soft chamois cloth. Read more in our detailed blog post.
