About Jade

There are two recognized forms of jade: jadeite and nephrite. While both are beautiful, jadeite is rarer and generally more valued for fine jewelry. Jadeite offers a wider range of colors, greater translucency, and a finer crystal structure compared to nephrite.

Because of these qualities, jadeite has long been favored by collectors and jewelry connoisseurs, especially when natural color and texture are preserved.

The finest jadeite comes from northern Myanmar (Burma), the only region in the world known for producing gem-quality jadeite in significant quantities. Burmese jadeite is prized for its rich color, natural translucency, and refined texture.

At JadeShop®, we focus exclusively on Burmese jadeite. Each piece is selected for balanced color, clarity, texture, and translucency — key factors that distinguish fine jadeite from ordinary material. We value jade for its natural beauty, without unnecessary enhancement.
