Jade Earrings & Studs

Real jade earrings, matched in pairs by hand and finished in our own Kunming workshop. Every pair states its post metal, every stone is natural and untreated, and every order ships with a gemological certificate you can verify by serial number.

Every Pair Matched by Hand

Natural stones vary, so a real pair reads as siblings — not twins. Matching them is most of the work in a jade earring.

Post Metal Stated, Always

S925 sterling silver, 14K or 18K gold, named on every listing. A post passes through your skin, so the metal is a health question.

Certified Natural Jade

Type A for jadeite, natural undyed material for nephrite — with a report you can verify online, before you buy or years later.

Why Buy Jade Earrings & Studs from BMjade

Matching the pair is the work. This is the part machine production cannot do. Natural stone varies, so a genuine pair should read as siblings — the same family of colour and translucency at arm's length, with small honest differences when you lean in. Pairs that are pixel-perfect twins are almost always moulded glass or heavily processed material; pairs that are obviously mismatched were assembled from odd lots by someone with no jade judgement. We cut and match ours from the same rough, and that standard is the single biggest reason a good pair of jade earrings costs what it does.

Both jades, and an honest recommendation between them. Most sellers carry one material and tell you it is the better one. We carry both: jadeite for translucency and vivid colour, nephrite for warm, waxy lustre. Neither is better — at the ear, the difference is whether you want the stone to catch light or to hold it.

The post metal is a health question, not a style one. An earring post passes through your skin, which makes it the one component in jade jewellery where the metal matters as much as the stone. Every pair here states exactly what the findings are — S925 sterling silver, 14K or 18K gold — because "hypoallergenic" on its own is a word, not a disclosure.

Weight is balanced against the findings, not maximised. A heavy stone on a thin post pulls at the lobe over a long day and stretches a piercing over years. Our drops are built to sit comfortably rather than made as large as the stone allows, and every pair lists its dimensions so you can judge before ordering.

Certified. See the guarantee below.

The Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee

This is the part most jade sellers will not put in writing — and it covers both jades, on each material's own terms.

If at any time after your purchase, NGTC, GIA, or any other qualified independent gemological laboratory issues a written report showing that a pair we sold you is not what we described — meaning any of the following:

the mineral is not the one stated (a piece sold as jadeite is nephrite, or the reverse, or is neither);
a jadeite piece sold as Type A has in fact been bleached, resin-impregnated or dyed;
a nephrite piece sold as natural has in fact been dyed or wax-coated;

— then we will refund the full purchase price, reimburse your laboratory testing fee, and reimburse the cost of approved tracked return shipping.

There is no time limit. The guarantee is separate from our 30-day return window, and it covers sale items, promotional items, exchanged items and gifts. Full terms are in our refund and returns policy.

What's in This Collection

Jade stud earrings — a single cabochon or bead on a post. The everyday form, and the least forgiving one: with nothing else to look at, a stud puts the quality of the stone on display at conversation distance.

Drop and dangle earrings — jade that moves and catches light as you turn your head. The occasion form, and the one where weight balance matters most.

Jade hoop earrings — the unbroken circle, the oldest shape in Chinese jade, worn as a modern everyday piece.

Bead earrings — round stones that show colour from every angle.

By colour: green from light through deep apple; lavender and purple; icy translucent white and warm white; celadon and spinach green; and black for heavier, more modern pieces. Findings are S925 sterling silver, 14K or 18K gold, stated on every listing — jade set in gold invokes 金玉良缘, a union of gold and jade, which is why gold-set pairs remain a classic wedding and milestone gift.

Because every stone is natural, no two pairs are identical — what you see photographed is the pair you receive. Use the filters above to narrow by style, material, colour and metal.

Frequently asked questions about jade earrings

Yes — real, natural and untreated, in both minerals that the word "jade" covers. Every pair is certified by an independent gemological laboratory with a serial number you can verify online, and our lifetime guarantee refunds you in full — plus your laboratory testing fee and return shipping — if any qualified lab ever finds a pair is not the material or treatment status we stated.

No — and this is the most useful thing to know when buying jade earrings anywhere. Natural stone varies, so a genuine pair reads as siblings rather than twins: the same colour family and translucency, with small differences visible up close. Machine-perfect matching usually means moulded glass or heavily standardised treated material. Nature does not make copies, so a pair that looks copied is telling you something.

Studs, almost always. They sit securely, survive scarves and phone calls, and put the stone at eye level where its quality shows. Hoops are the next most wearable. Drops and dangles suit occasions better than daily routines, especially in larger stones — the movement that makes them beautiful is also what catches on collars and hair.

Stones of roughly 6 to 8mm read as discreet everyday pieces; 10mm and above make a visible statement and suit a fuller face or a formal setting. Weight matters more than diameter on anything that hangs: a heavy stone on a thin post pulls at the lobe over a long day. Every pair here lists its dimensions. Full sizing guide.

Read the findings, not the stone. Both jadeite and nephrite are inert against skin, so reactions almost always come from the post metal or residue on it. Every pair here states whether the posts are S925 sterling silver, 14K or 18K gold. Wipe the shafts before first wear and after long storage, and if you have a known nickel sensitivity, email us before ordering and we will tell you exactly what a specific pair uses.

Contact us. We keep material records for pieces from our own collection and can often match a replacement to the survivor at the same siblings-not-twins standard. Where matching is not possible, a single good stone can be reset as a pendant rather than retired to a drawer — the traditional answer, and usually the better-looking one. More on repairs and conversions.

The ear holds a particular place in Chinese body culture: classical medicine describes it as where the body's meridians gather, and face reading treats full earlobes as a marker of fortune. Jade worn there carries the wish for a clear mind and guarded good fortune — which is why jade earrings are one of the classic gifts from mothers to daughters, and why they read as quietly formal rather than showy. What jade earrings symbolize.

Yes, within 30 days, unworn and in original packaging with the certificate included. Because earrings are worn through pierced skin, please inspect a pair without wearing it if you think you may return it — hold it against the ear rather than putting it in. Contact us first and we will send return instructions and the correct address.
