The Legacy of Jade
Jade holds one of the most storied histories of any gemstone, revered across cultures for over 7,000 years. Stone Age humans prized jade as the toughest of all gems, shaping it into weapons, tools, ceremonial carvings, and ornaments. In ancient China, jade was considered more precious than gold, symbolizing purity, wisdom, and immortality. The imperial court crafted jade wind chimes designed to ring specific musical notes—nephrite jade rings musically when struck. Across the Pacific, Māori cultures carved jade (pounamu) into heirloom treasures passed down through generations.
Modern gemologists use "jade" as a term for both nephrite and jadeite, two distinct minerals that share jade's signature toughness and lustrous beauty. These Leaf Jade earrings honor that rich heritage with artisan craftsmanship.
Perfect for:
- Everyday elegance with historical significance
