About jade jewelry Jade jewelry has a rich history and a profound cultural meaning that spans centuries and continents. In Asian culture jade is considered more precious than diamond or gold. The gem’s deep-rooted history in China is dated back over 7,000 years. The Chinese referred to jade as "yu" which means "royal gem".It was highly prized by the imperial family and used to craft jewelry and ceremonial objects. Jade was considered a symbol of virtue, purity, and the Confucian values of wisdom and compassion. In ancient Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya and Aztec, jade played a significant role in religious and ceremonial contexts. Jade jewelry was worn by rulers and elite members of society, symbolizing power and divinity. Despite an aura of traditions surrounding the stone, in modern life jade received an interesting spin. In the 2020s it was worn by celebrities and went viral on social media. Today jade pieces not only reflect the cultural background. They are considered as energy purifiers and good spirit protectors. Jade is thought to be a symbol of luck and among crystal aficionados has an ability to be a money magnet.
