Identifying jade jewelry involves examining several key characteristics. Look for maker marks, stamps, or signatures — these are typically found on the bottom, back, or underside of the piece. The style, materials, and construction techniques can also help narrow down the maker and period.

At InstAppraisal, we've analyzed thousands of jade jewelry pieces. The most reliable identification method combines visual inspection with reference to established catalogs and price guides. If you're uncertain, submitting photos for an AI appraisal can provide detailed attribution guidance.
