About Jade

The mineral jade (jadeite or nephrite) is loved and well known for its ornamental use throughout Asia.  Jade is associated with nobility and wealth, and many consider it a protector of generations.  

Jade is most highly valued in Chinese culture where it is known as “The Stone of Heaven" and considered to be lucky.  Jadeite is so precious that there is a saying that goes, “gold is valuable while jade is priceless.” Jade symbolizes prosperity, success, and good luck. It is also a symbol of renewal, longevity, and even immortality.
