JEWELRY OF CHINESE JADE

Season's Vogue for Green Tints Brings Costly Decorative Articles Into the Limelight. One of the things which the season's vogue for green tints in women’s garments has done is to bring Into unprecedented popularity various articles of jewelry made of real Chinese jade. The articles in demand range from tiny eardrops to necklaces so high in price as to surprise even persons who think they know a good deal about costly gems. It is a matter of record that small necklaces of jade beads, every one measuring less than a quarter of an inch In diameter, have been sold In China at from SI,OOO to $3,000 each. Naturally, the values of these necklaces are enhanced when they are brought to this country and resold.
