Jade has been known in China as the “royal gem” since as early as 3000 B.C.E. Its value comparable with that of gold and diamonds in the West, jade was used not only for the finest objects and cult figures but also in grave furnishings for high-ranking members of the imperial family. A significant part of China’s spiritual and cultural development for centuries, jade is associated with merit, morality and dignity.
Jade is believed to have a protective function ( against the bad fortune ) in the Chinese culture. It is a nice meaningful gift for friends or loved ones.
