Jades



The Jades are a broad species of Homeworld Gem, high enough in the established hierarchy to attend the Era 3 Ball in "Together Alone". They appear as at least eight different types, with each type having between two and four shades.

Two Jades (considered two different types of Gems due to the fact of being from different courts and having different appearances) fuse after they see Stevonnie, Garnet, and Opal form, forming Lemon Jade and subsequently being poofed by Yellow Diamond.

All Jade-type Gems have been voiced in the show by Aparna Nancherla.

Role
The Jades appear to be high up in Gem society, being one of the few Gem types to attend the Era 3 ball. They are the common aristocrat, but rank lower than Sapphires.

Physical Characteristics
The Jades appear in two different variations in color and forms: non-greenish. and greenish. These variations not only seem to have very different colors but also appearances.

Non-green Jades
The main feature in these Jades is their color, due to it not being the well-known green of usual jades. They appear in purple, orange, magenta, grayish-blue, periwinkle, grayish-purple, lavender, hot pink and salmon. These Jades all share a few common properties: all their dresses consist of a cog-shaped skirt of some kind, elbow length gloves, and shoulder pads.

Greenish Jades
The green/yellow Jades (shown with the Jades who fuse) have very distinct appearances but they all seem to share basic body shape and elements: Tall gems with circular, bell-shaped skirts. They are divided into two groups depending on their Diamond affiliation.

Trivia

 * Jades are divided in two types that correspond to the distinction in color/quality they can be found as.
 * Most valuable jades are green or slightly yellowish
 * Other lower colors include purple, lavender, white, grey, orange and red.
 * The mechanical appearance of lower jades seem to have been created as a metaphor for how the Gem Homeworld was prior to the events of Change Your Mind: uptight, strict and everyone was required to be as precise and perfect as a clock mechanism.
