White Jade - Natural stone bracelet, 8mm beads

White Jade from China has always held a prominent place in Chinese culture. It was revered by emperors and sages, who considered it a symbol of purity, wisdom, and prosperity. Unlike Jadeite, which gained popularity in China later (starting from the Qing dynasty with imports from Myanmar), Nephrite was mined and sculpted much earlier, particularly during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

White Jade was used to craft ritual objects, protective amulets, and imperial ornaments. In China, Buddha statues are often made from white precious stones, and White Nephrite has always been favored for its soft appearance and spiritual symbolism.
