What is Jade?

Jade — here the nephrite/jadeite family of tough interlocking crystals — has been the stone of virtue in East Asia for 7,000 years, carved into everything from emperors' seals to burial suits.

Meaning & symbolism

Jade symbolizes harmony, integrity, and generational good fortune: wealth with wisdom attached. It remains one of the most meaningful gifts in Chinese tradition.

How to wear & pair it

Classic alone in any size, or with green aventurine and white jade for a layered green-on-green look.

Care

Exceptionally tough; warm water and a soft cloth. Many believe jade grows more lustrous with years of wear.

Frequently asked

What does jade mean as a gift?

Protection, virtue, and enduring good fortune — gifting jade traditionally passes a wish for a good long life.

Why is jade so hard to break?

Its microscopic crystals interlock like felt, making jade tougher than steel against shattering — the reason it could be carved so thin.
