The World's Finest Jade
Sourced from the remote mountain deposits of Kazakhstan, our Kazakh jadeite is prized for its rich, vivid greens and smooth, luminous finish. Each bangle is hand-selected for its natural character, so no two pieces are ever the same. A rare stone with a quiet strength, made to be worn every day and treasured for a lifetime.
For millennia, jade bangles have transcended mere adornment to become vessels of spiritual power, cultural identity, and artistic mastery. From the sacred temples of Mesoamerica to the imperial courts of Asia, jade has been revered as the stone of virtue, prosperity, and eternal beauty. Each bangle carries within it the wisdom of ancient civilizations and the skilled hands of master artisans who understood jade not as a commodity, but as a living connection to the divine.

Guatemalan jadeite is found in the Motagua Valley, where ancient geological forces brought jade-bearing rocks to the surface.
Jadeite and nephrite occur in several parts of Canada, including British Columbia, where jade is associated with mountain geology.
Kazakhstan has notable jadeite occurrences in its mountainous eastern regions, where the stone forms in metamorphic settings.
Afghanistan is among the historic sources of jadeite, with deposits associated with the country's rugged mountain belts.
Myanmar is a major source of jadeite, particularly in northern Kachin State, where jade-bearing rocks occur in a complex tectonic zone.
Nephrite jade occurs in northern Pakistan, including mountainous areas near the Karakoram. It is an amphibole-rich stone, commonly found in green and other subdued tones.
We source jade directly from mines or mine operators in each region. Though far apart, these origins share a striking kinship in the terrain and deposits where jade is found.
Guatemalan jade is carved primarily at our partner workshop in Mexico, or by artisanal studios in Guatemala—each bangle made specifically for us.
Kazakh bangles are carved directly for us by mine operators; Pakistani bangles by the mine owner. In every origin, rough jade travels from the mine to our partner workshop, then straight to us: one degree from the mine.
From mine to workshop, jade is mined and shipped by local hands. A small team of dedicated jade professionals brings each piece the final distance—to you.
Every bangle is carefully inspected for quality and shaped with the intention of becoming a family heirloom—made to be worn, kept, and passed on.
An upcoming collection of Afghanistan nephrite bangles is in the works. Stay tuned for its arrival.
