Jade

Tough. Beautiful. Pure.

Jade has been prized by civilizations from ancient China to the Aztecs and Mayans of Central America and crafted into weapons, tools, ornaments and ritual objects of stunning artistry. The traditional jade flat disc with a hole in the middle, known as a “bi,” symbolizes heaven. Jadeite is one of them, and the other is nephrite. Both are actually metamorphic rocks made up of tiny interlocking mineral crystals. Jade has been cherished for thousands of years for its rich heritage, beauty, durability and rarity.
