Jade is more than just a gemstone—it is a symbol of wisdom, prosperity, and protection that has been revered for centuries. From the ancient dynasties of China to the spiritual traditions of Central America, jade has held a timeless allure across cultures.
At Canary Diamond, our journey into jade begins at its source—deep within the rugged landscapes of Myanmar and the untamed terrain of Guatemala. Each piece tells a story of the Earth’s history, shaped by nature’s hand over millions of years. But beyond its beauty, we are committed to ethical sourcing, ensuring that every jade gemstone we offer is acquired with integrity and respect for both the environment and local communities.
Join us as we explore the origins, cultural significance, and craftsmanship behind Canary Diamond’s exquisite Jade Collection.
The Origins of Jade: A Gift from the Earth
Jade comes in two distinct forms:
- Jadeite – The rarer and more valuable variety, found mainly in Myanmar. It is known for its deep emerald greens, delicate lavenders, and icy whites.
- Nephrite – Found in places like China, Guatemala, and Canada, nephrite is admired for its rich green, creamy white, and deep black shades.
At Canary Diamond, we source only the finest jade, carefully selecting pieces that embody purity, depth, and timeless elegance.
The Cultural Significance of Jade
Jade is deeply rooted in cultural traditions worldwide. From imperial China, where jade was considered more valuable than gold, to the Mayans and Aztecs, who believed it held spiritual power, this gemstone has symbolized strength, protection, and eternity.
In Chinese Culture
Jade has long been known as the “Stone of Heaven,” associated with wisdom, balance, and immortality. It was used in imperial seals, sacred carvings, and intricate jewelry worn by nobility.
In Mesoamerican Traditions
The ancient Maya and Olmec civilizations treasured jade for its deep spiritual meaning, often using it in burial masks, ceremonial objects, and talismans believed to bring good fortune.
By honoring these traditions, Canary Diamond ensures that every jade piece carries the weight of history, preserving the essence of its origins while bringing it into modern elegance.
The Art of Ethical Sourcing: Our Commitment to Responsibility
Jade’s journey from the earth to fine jewelry must be done responsibly. At Canary Diamond, we take ethical sourcing seriously, selecting jade from trusted mines that respect both nature and the communities that depend on it.
