FAQ
Is your jade real?
Where is your jade sourced?
Our jade is sourced through established suppliers in Myanmar and China, with many pieces crafted in Zhenping, Henan, a region widely known for jade carving and jewelry craftsmanship.
What are A, B, and C grades in jade?
Jade is sometimes categorized informally into A, B, and C grades to describe treatment status rather than overall quality.
These labels are industry shorthand rather than universal grading systems. If you are specifically looking for untreated jade, you can browse our untreated selection here or look for “untreated” noted in individual product descriptions.
Type A Jade
Natural jade that has not been chemically treated or dyed. Traditional polishing or waxing may still be applied. This category is generally the most preferred among collectors.
Type B Jade
Natural jade that has undergone chemical treatment, often acid washing followed by resin impregnation, to improve clarity or appearance. It remains jade but may age differently over time.
Type C Jade
Jade that has been dyed to enhance or change color. Color stability may vary depending on treatment methods.
Can jade be worn every day?
Yes. Jade is a tough gemstone suitable for daily wear. Like all fine jewelry, it should be protected from strong impact or harsh chemicals, but everyday use is completely normal.
Will jade color change over time?
Natural jade typically maintains its color. With wear, oils from skin can slightly enhance surface luster, which many collectors appreciate.
How should I clean jade jewelry?
Use mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, alcohol, or acidic solutions. Gentle care helps maintain polish and longevity.
Is jade fragile?
Jade is actually very tough structurally, but it can crack if dropped on hard surfaces. Treat it like fine jewelry rather than costume jewelry.
Do you offer other gemstones?
Yes. In addition to jade, we work with the below and other natural materials that complement jade aesthetically.
