Foreigners and Jade: Cultures may differ, but aesthetics have no borders!

Regarding jewelry, perhaps many people will have these two misconceptions at first:

1. Jade is a specialty of China (wrong)

2. Foreigners only like diamonds (not entirely true)

Let me first say that most of the jade in the world is produced in Myanmar. The editor has too many preconceived notions and always thought that jade was produced in China. I apologize to the people of Myanmar.

In many foreign movies (especially those about European and American aristocrats), we often see that many female characters always like to wear faceted gems such as pearls, diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, but we rarely see jade carvings on them.

Heart of the Ocean

For example, this necklace, I believe everyone can recognize it at a glance: the Heart of the Ocean that has fascinated and driven countless female friends all over the world crazy! Of course, you will also remember that touching and tragic love story.

Don’t foreigners like jade? In fact, this is not the case. For example, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lawrence, Karlie Kloss, Cara and other European and American beauties have been wearing various jade ornaments in various public places and showing off in public!

Nicole Kidman's emerald earrings

Does the person above look familiar to you? He is a Hollywood movie star and producer. Okay, let me tell you two key words: the starring role of "Grace of Monaco" and the ex-wife of Tom Cruise.

Jessica Chastain's emerald drop earrings

Next, this one is probably attending a fan meeting or a movie press conference. I’m just guessing... She showed off her beautiful back, and the emerald green earrings were the finishing touch, highlighting her mature temperament. Jessica Chastain has starred in many movies, so I won’t mention them here. Let’s just look at the poster in front of her, “The Martian”.

Can you still recognize the person below after he changed his hairstyle?

Jennifer Lawrence's emerald earrings

Uh... earrings again. It seems that foreign friends really have a special liking for jade earrings! None of that matters. Don’t the small and unique jade earrings look beautiful on this young and beautiful girl? beautiful! Jennifer Lawrence is a serious post-90s girl, but unfortunately she is already taken, so male viewers should stop thinking about it. By the way, he was wearing clothes, but the editor cut them out due to limited space... (The Hunger Games, Men in Black)

Karlie Kloss

Ok, earrings again...

Karlie Kloss, American Victoria's Secret (not WikiLeaks, but "Victoria's Secret", the most famous lingerie show!) supermodel and designer. Although it's earrings again, there is always a difference. At least this person is not an actor. But I feel that her slightly flattering temperament doesn't seem to match these jade earrings...

Cara Delevingne's jade pendant

Cara Delevingne is also an angel model (Victoria's Secret model). Look at the jade necklace she is wearing, so domineering! Oh no, too domineering! Although in my impression foreigners are bold, is it really good to be so ostentatious? People say Los Angeles is both heaven and hell. I guess the girl is really confident about the public security in Los Angeles!

Having said that, it is not without basis that foreigners like faceted gemstones. The dazzling brilliance of faceted gemstones is more in line with the bold, open and independent cultural atmosphere of Europeans and Americans. Foreigners may not understand the jade culture behind jade, but this does not prevent them from appreciating jade with intuitive visual aesthetics. The bright colors and mysterious and seductive patterns are what attract them.

Therefore, European and American celebrities usually wear jade as earrings, preferring those with bright green colors, and often pairing them with dark dresses. This may come from the sense of mystery that Eastern culture gives them. Domestic celebrities care about the shape of jade, but they care more about its charm. They not only choose top-quality colors, but also the jade's warm quality and gentle style. They understand the powerful cultural heritage behind jade, and are not ostentatious when wearing jade. They always use a touch of watery emerald green to perfectly interpret the oriental temperament.
