Mountain Jade specialises in designing and creating superb jewellery and sculptures from that most precious stone, Jade.

Based in New Zealand , the company is able to make the most of this superb stone, creating a range of unique jewellery pieces from both local Jade and stone imported from a variety of sources across the globe.

Since time began, Jade has captured the imagination of the world. It has a particular significance to New Zealand’s native people, the Maori who believe the stone takes on the ‘spirit’ of the person who wears it. A piece of Jade will be passed on from generation to generation, thus keeping the spirits of ancestors alive. And in China, Jade, and the closely related Jadeite, has long been considered to bring the wearer both good luck and good health.

The team at Mountain Jade are true ‘Jade specialists’ and quality control is paramount.

The company controls the whole production process from sourcing the stone to the cutting and polishing stage. They travel to mine sites around world sourcing the best jade available (AAA quality) to produce top quality jewellery. It takes an expert eye to distinguish quality in stone. The team at Mountain Jade have learned that purchasing raw Jade calls for expert precision and experience, something they have gained over the past 30 years.
