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

The Jades are a broad type of Homeworld Gem, high enough in the established hierarchy to attend the Era 3 Ball in "Together Alone". They have been seen in eight distinct subtypes, four of which come in a wide array of colors, the other four having minute shading differences.

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 appear to be the common aristocrat, with a high rank, but ranking lower than Sapphires.


Physical Characteristics

Jades appear in many different variations, each with slightly varying characteristics. Features consistent to the type as a whole include a small slightly rounded chest, and within Homeworld society, they all seem to wear floor-length dresses. Their height is somewhere around that of Lapis Lazuli, although some varieties possess slight height variations. Most Jades possess downturned, bridged noses, although several lack noses or possess small upturned noses.

Main Jades

  • Lemon Jade's Right Cheek Gem - A gem serving Yellow Diamond who fused with a Jade in Blue Diamond's court.
  • Lemon Jade's Left Cheek Gem - A gem serving Blue Diamond who fused with a Jade in Yellow Diamond's court.

Jade Fusions

  • Lemon Jade - The cross-fusion of two Jades, one from Blue Diamond's court and the other from Yellow Diamond's court. She was poofed by Yellow Diamond in "Together Alone".

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.
  • In the larger ballroom scenes in "Together Alone", many Jades are shown which are physically identical to Jades shown previously (including Lemon Jade's components), the reason for this is unknown, but it is likely to simply fill crowd space in the scene.
