Jades

This article is about Jades. You may be looking for The Jade fusion.

History

Jades are a broad type 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 fuse after they see Stevonnie, Garnet, and Opal form, themselves forming Lemon Jade and they are subsequently poofed by Yellow Diamond.

Appearance

Jades appear in two different variations: 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 soulder 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 in two groups depending on their Diamond affiliation.

Yellow Diamond Jades

They have pointy shoulder pads and an inverted triangle shape along the skirt. They appear to wear cuffs. They have inverted triangle-shaped gemstones. They are colored in: greenish-yellow (chest gems), and olive green (right eye gems).	Many Jades of this type are seen at the Ball, saluting the Diamonds and later dancing together.

They have pointy shoulder pads, plain skirts, and an inverted triangle on the chest. They have long sleeved gloves. They can have an triangular gemstone, or a round unfaceted gemstone. They are colored in: olive green (triangular, nose gems), and yellow-green (round, right cheek gems).	Many Jades of this type are seen at the Ball, saluting the Diamonds and later dancing together.

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 is uptight, strict and everyone is require to be as precise and perfect as a clock mechanism.
