Nanyang Jade

Authentic Natural Type A Jade, Chosen with Integrity

Founded in 2012, Nanyang Jade is a Singapore-based, family-run jade specialist with over 30 years of experience in the jade and jewellery trade. We provide only authentic, natural Type A jade and fine nephrite (Hotian jade), combining trust, expertise, and careful curation. We champion exclusivity by marrying the alluring translucency of nephrite with the toughness of jadeite, offering ornaments, artefacts, and jewellery that reflect local culture.

Our sourcing spans the globe, from challenging terrains to lush wilderness, always ensuring material integrity. Every piece is crafted with skilled artisans and reputable carvers, resulting in creations that tell unique stories and maintain timeless appeal. Our principle remains clear: if a piece is not Natural Type A jade, we do not trade it, ensuring our customers choose jade with confidence, authenticity, and long-term assurance.

Our Philosophy: Quality Over Claims

From the beginning, Nanyang Jade has championed exclusivity and discernment. We focus on carefully curated jade that reflects both material excellence and cultural resonance. By combining the alluring translucency often sought in fine nephrite with the exceptional toughness and brilliance of jadeite, we offer a collection that speaks naturally to the tastes and traditions of our local culture.

Unlike gemstones that rely solely on standardised grading systems, jade must be evaluated holistically. Colour, texture, translucency, clarity, and workmanship all work together to determine quality. For this reason, we prioritise overall material quality rather than size, weight, or marketing labels.

At Nanyang Jade, we do not present jade as flawless or uniform. Natural variations form part of the stone’s authenticity and charm. We believe transparency builds trust, and educating our customers empowers them to make confident decisions.

Specialising in Natural Jadeite and Fine Nephrite (Hotian Jade)

We specialise primarily in natural jadeite, including pieces classified as Natural Type A jade, which remains untreated and structurally stable over time.

We also recognise the historical and cultural importance of nephrite jade, commonly known in the trade as Hotian jade (和田玉). Like jadeite, nephrite spans a wide quality spectrum, and high-quality nephrite is valued for its dense texture, smooth lustre, and refined workmanship.

Regardless of material type, we apply the same rigorous standards when selecting jade — prioritising authenticity, durability, and skilled craftsmanship.

At Nanyang Jade, our passion knows no bounds. We take pride in forming the most

Responsible Sourcing and Expert Selection

Our passion for jade knows no bounds. We source jade globally, from well-known origins to remote and challenging regions, always guided by material integrity. Every stone is carefully evaluated for structure, texture, and long-term stability before carving or setting.

We work exclusively with skilled craftsmen and reputable carvers who value precision, creativity, and respect for the natural form of jade. Each finished piece reflects both artistry and the journey of the stone itself.

Where appropriate, independent laboratory certification accompanies our pieces, providing transparency regarding material identity and treatment status. Certification reinforces trust, particularly for higher-value jade jewellery.

Designed for Wear, Meaning, and Longevity

Our collection includes jade ornaments, artefacts, and jewellery — from bangles and pendants to rings, bracelets, earrings, and intricately carved pieces. Each creation tells a unique story, shaped by both nature and human hands, and is chosen for its ability to carry meaning and memories across generations.

We prioritise pieces that balance beauty with wearability. Each design respects the natural form of the jade while ensuring comfort, proportion, and long-term durability.

Educating Buyers, Not Just Selling Jewellery

We believe confident jade purchases begin with understanding. Beyond offering jewellery, we provide educational resources to help buyers evaluate jade quality, distinguish natural jade from treated material, and avoid common buying mistakes.

Our Jade Buying Guide reflects this commitment and explains how to choose jade based on authenticity and quality rather than trends or marketing claims.

Our Commitment to Trust

Buying jade is as much about trust as it is about beauty. At Nanyang Jade, we aim to build long-term relationships by offering honest explanations, realistic expectations, and consistent quality.

Whether you are new to jade or a seasoned collector, our goal is to help you select pieces that feel right today and remain meaningful for years to come.

At Nanyang Jade, authenticity is not a claim — it is our standard.
