Jade & Stone Jewelry — Chinese Symbolism in Colour

In China, stone is never purely decorative — it carries intention.

Jade has been worked in China for more than 7,000 years, long before it became an aesthetic choice. It was given at births to offer protection, presented at weddings to mark the beginning of a life shared, and worn by scholars as a statement of moral character. The stone was thought to absorb the wearer's energy over time, becoming more personal the longer it was kept.

The pieces in this collection pair 925 sterling silver and gold vermeil settings with jade and semi-precious stone. Each setting is made not to tarnish, so the metal stays as clean as the stone over years of wear.

A considered gift for a birth, a wedding, or a significant birthday — occasions where the Chinese tradition calls for something with weight behind it. Works equally well as a personal piece for anyone drawn to colour that carries meaning rather than colour chosen for trend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of jade is used in the Jade & Stone collection?

The collection uses natural jade and semi-precious stone set in 925 sterling silver or gold vermeil. Each piece description specifies the stone. If you have a question about a specific piece, contact us before ordering.

Is jade appropriate as a gift for someone who isn't Chinese?

Yes. The cultural significance adds a layer of meaning, but jade is worn and appreciated across many cultures. The pieces are designed to be worn, not displayed — the story behind the stone is there if you want to share it.

How should I care for jade jewelry?

Keep jade away from ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. The sterling silver and gold vermeil settings can be cleaned with a silver polishing cloth; avoid contact with the stone when doing so.
