Ever since our brand launched in 2009, a common query from our clientele and enthusiasts worldwide has been how they can ensure they're investing in genuine jade. Questions ranging from Southeast Asia to the United States, from Europe to Australia echo this concern. As one might suspect, procuring authentic jade is an intricate process; gemologists have shared that assessing jade's quality demands a level of technical expertise beyond that required for diamonds. Today, you can find strands of fake jade beads on Chinese Taobao or in Singapore's Chinatown for less than SGD $20, whereas high- boutiques showcase pieces priced as high as SGD $20,000 to even SGD $200,000!
