There are two broad categories of Jade: Jadeite Jade and Nephrite Jade. The former is known for being the hardier, thus it is more suitable for wearing. Further, due to its variety of colours and composition, it is often used as accessories for clothings.

In the Chinese Culture, it is known to keep wearer from harm and brings harmony. It increases love and nurturing, and attract good luck and friendship. It stabilises personality, promotes self-sufficiency, and releases negative thoughts which soothes the mind. It also stimulates ideas and makes task seem less complex.

在珠宝界内，玉有两大类：翡翠和软玉，而翡翠的硬度较高，所以更适合于佩戴，又因其丰富的色彩和成次所以常用于配搭服装。

在华夏文化中，翡翠被认为可以保护佩戴者免受伤害，带来和谐。它增加爱和养育，并吸引好运和友谊。它可以稳定个性，促进自给自足，并释放消极的想法，从而抚慰心灵。它还能激发想法，使任务看起来不那么复杂。
