The Lucky Jade Journal
Notes on jade, chosen slowly.
Short notes on natural jadeite, sizing, and the pieces that pass through our hands in Sihui. This is a living page — we add to it as new pieces arrive.
How to read a piece of jade
Start with the stone in daylight. Look at the translucency, the way colour gathers and fades, and the fine mineral lines that make each piece identifiable. Then check the inner diameter — a beautiful bangle that does not fit is not the right bangle.
Why we photograph every angle
Natural jadeite has character: veins, cotton spots and tiny surface pits are part of the stone. We show real photos and video so you can see them before checkout, and we explain what is normal in our Natural Jade Disclaimer.
Caring for your jade
Wear it often, wipe it with a soft cloth, and keep it away from harsh chemicals and hard knocks. Store it separately so it does not rub against harder stones.
