Jade Services

(IN THE JEWELRY TRADE? CLICK HERE TO REQUEST WHOLESALE SERVICES & FEES)

Mason-Kay has been engaged in the jadeite jade business since 1976. We offer full jade testing services, as well as jade value assessment services. In addition to the standard gemological tests (RI, SG, Optical spectroscopy) Mason-Kay is equipped with infrared spectroscopy to test for impregnation ('B' jade).

We do not test or evaluate statuary, figurines or jade rough.

Jade Value Assessments can be for Retail Replacement Value (what one would have to pay to replace an item at retail) or Fair Market Value (what one would expect to receive for an item in today’s market). Jade Value Assessments are only provided for natural jadeite jade.

Mason-Kay provides jade value assessment services for jadeite only. Metals and/or other side stones are neither evaluated nor tested.

This is done only with customer's permission and at customer's risk and cost.

A $50 rush fee may apply to requests of 3 days or less ($50 rush fee for up to 3 items - $15/item thereafter).
Return postage and insurance is added to all service fees.
