What type of bone is used?
ANSWER: All bone used by us is a by-product of industries that make use of non-endangered, non-exotic species of bovine.
Is your jade real jade?
ANSWER: Yes, it is real jade. In order to be honestly called jade the stone must be either nephrite or jadeite. Nephrite is the original stone called jade by Europeans. Jadeite was believed to be nephrite when it was later discovered...it comes mostly out of Myanmar (Burma). It was later proven to be chemically different from nephrite but it is accepted as jade. All of our jade pieces are nephrite.
Is your black jade real jade?
ANSWER: Yes, the black jade we use is also known as Cowell Jade from South Australia. It is a true nephrite green jade; higher levels of iron give it a black appearance. In most pieces hints of green can be seen in certain light...some pieces may have very noticeable amounts of green.
What exactly is pacific pearl, mother of pearl, nacre?
ANSWER: Nacre is the composite substance that forms inside a variety of mollusks, to include the pearl oyster. It is the same beautiful, iridescent, substance that forms pearls and, therefore, it is called "mother of pearl". It is not the shell itself.
