Frequently Asked Questions

What is Type A Jadeite? Type A jadeite is 100% natural jade that has not been chemically treated or artificially enhanced. It is the highest quality grade of jadeite, prized for its natural colour, translucency, and energy. All our pieces at Yi Pin Qian are certified Type A jadeite.

How do I know your jade is authentic? Every piece we sell comes with authenticity assurance. Natural Type A jadeite is tested and verified — we do not carry treated (Type B or C) jade. If you have questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us directly.

Why does jadeite vary so much in price? Jadeite value depends on several factors: colour intensity, translucency (water content), texture, and craftsmanship. Imperial green and lavender jadeite are among the rarest and most valuable. We offer pieces across a range of grades so you can find something meaningful within your budget.

What does jade symbolise in feng shui? Jade has been revered in Chinese culture for thousands of years as a stone of protection, prosperity, and harmony. Different forms carry different meanings — a jade bangle offers protection, a Buddha pendant brings peace and good fortune, and a ruyi symbolises success and authority.

How do I care for my jade jewellery?

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and ultrasonic cleaners
  • Clean gently with a soft damp cloth
  • Store separately to prevent scratching
  • Wear it often — jade is said to absorb your energy and improve with wear
