Jade is beautiful to wear and sometimes you want to wear jade that "means something".  If you want something meaningful in jade, your Chinese Lunar New Year animal is a good choice. This is the Year of the Dog. Dog is the symbol of loyalty and honesty. People born in the Year of the Dog  possess the best traits of human nature. They are honest, friendly, faithful, loyal, smart, straightforward, venerable and have a strong sense of responsibility.      And some people even like to buy a jade dog pendant for their dog!   The other carvings with the dog can indicate other meanings,...

Jade "yoni" eggs and ben wa balls have become very popular since we started selling them online years ago.  They are both helpful for kegel exercise, and most customers order a set of each, jade eggs and jade ben wa balls.

Women who love jade love "heavenly jade" on Jade Heaven!  All of our jade bangle bracelets are genuine, natural color Burmese jadeite.  Some of the newer jadeite bangle bracelets include Chinese certificates of gemology testing.  But our most beautiful, and valuable, jadeite is the "old mine" Burmese jadeite I purchased while shopping in China, directly from the jade carvers.  This older jade was purchased from 2000-2008, prior to the temporary Lantos embargo the USA sanctioned Myanmar jadeite and rubies until October, 2016.
