About
An honest jewelry guide, with the shopping links labeled.
For anyone buying jade, a gemstone gift or a birthstone piece who wants to know what they're getting.
What this is
A guide to gemstones, especially jade, built on GIA, the FTC and other gem authorities, with every fact linked to its source.
What this isn't
- Not a jeweler, an appraiser or a gem lab. We can't tell you whether a specific stone is real. A lab can.
- Not a store. We don't sell jewelry.
How the site pays for itself
Through affiliate links to jewelry sellers, once they approve the site. Every one will be labeled, and it won't change a word of the guides. Here's the full version.
Why "Jade Iris"
Jade for the stone this guide starts with, and iris for the rainbow-colored agate and quartz that share the name. More on iris stones.
