Imperial Jadeite is universally recognized as the rarest, most valuable, and most prestigious form of jade in the world. Revered for centuries by emperors, collectors, and connoisseurs, Imperial Jadeite represents more than beauty—it embodies power, purity, prosperity, and spiritual harmony. At Real Jade, Imperial Jadeite is curated with exceptional care, ensuring authenticity, superior quality, and timeless craftsmanship that meets the highest international standards.
This in-depth guide explores everything you need to know about Imperial Jadeite at Real Jade, including its origin, characteristics, grading, cultural significance, jewelry applications, authenticity assurance, and long-term value.
Imperial Jadeite is a top-tier variety of jadeite jade, distinguished by its vivid emerald-green color, exceptional translucency, and fine-grained texture. Unlike nephrite jade, jadeite is rarer, harder, and more valuable, especially when it reaches Imperial grade.
What makes Imperial Jadeite unique is its chromium-rich composition, which gives it that intense, glowing green hue often compared to high-quality emeralds. Only a very small percentage of jadeite mined globally qualifies as Imperial Jadeite, making it a true gemstone of elite status.
At Real Jade, Imperial Jadeite is sourced and selected based on strict criteria to ensure that only genuine, naturally occurring stones of superior quality reach customers.
The world’s finest Imperial Jadeite originates primarily from Myanmar (Burma), specifically the jadeite mines of northern Myanmar. These mines have supplied Imperial Jadeite to royalty and aristocracy for centuries.
Real Jade focuses on:
Ethical sourcing from trusted suppliers
