Natural jadeite examined in close detail

Natural jadeite / Type A

Jadeite is never judged by colour alone.

Natural Type A

Natural jadeite without acid washing, resin impregnation or dye treatment. Individual pieces are supported by their certificate and object record.

Colour and translucency

Colour, translucency and texture work together, but do not replace an assessment of fractures, inclusions, proportion, polish and overall condition.

Natural characteristics

Inclusions, colour roots, stone lines and growth structures belong to natural formation. Product records aim to show them honestly in natural light.

How to examine a piece

Begin with its overall condition in natural light, then consider transmitted light, details, dimensions, certificate and worn scale.

Object record

See clearly before deciding.

Every fine jadeite piece should have its own number, dimensions, weight, colour, natural characteristics, certificate, photographs, video and availability. Clear information is the beginning of trust.
