Jade Jewellery Set

Jadeite has been cherished by many for thousands of years. All are attracted by its rich heritage as much as by its beauty, durability and rarity. Since ancient times, the Chinese believe that the true value of tradition may simply lie in a piece of Jadeite. Jadeite is not just any gem or jewel but something precious of great value that can be savoured over a lifetime and passed down through the generations. Owning a piece of Jadeite symbolises nobility, wealth, status and prosperity. The Chinese also believed that the carvings of Jadeite invoked powers of heaven and earth. Hence, some of the ancient symbolic motifs are still used in modern Jadeite carvings like:

Bat – Happiness

Butterfly – Long life

Dragon – Power, prosperity and nobility

Peach – Immortality

Tortoise – Good health

Bamboo – Successful career

Lotus – Overcoming obstacles

Mystic Knot – Infinite wealth and luck

The Europeans were also fascinated by the gem carving tradition of Jadeite by the Chinese where carvers created masterpieces inspired by the art, architecture, history and designs of the East. Many of such intricate carvings are much sought after by collectors today.

Today, investment quality with extraordinary characteristics like good translucency, colour, density and intricate carving are much sought after by many. Auction houses have also seen an increase in Jadeite transactions for the last decade. Hence, Jadeite is emerging as one of the most valuable investment these days.
