However, I have always envisioned this along with one of the other two carved jade bands I am listing as being Could you really wear a wedding band carved from Jadeite jade every day?

To answer that question, I must first introduce you to Mr. Carl Friedrich Christian Mohs, a German mineralogist who picked-up where the ancient Greeks and Romans left off with respect to classifying minerals based on their relative hardness.

So the jade ring would be significantly less prone to being scratched. Which explains why the nearly century-old carved jadeite saddle ring I have in my store shows no evidence of scratching or even wear on the rear of the band. I have three carved jade wedding bands...
