What we are
Jadeite Pavilion is a small online gallery. Every piece is natural jadeite, and every piece is the only one of its kind. It is run by Jadeite Pavilion Hub, a sole proprietorship registered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, selling since 2024 and shipping worldwide. There is no showroom. The same person photographs each piece, writes its description, and packs it for you.
We are not a luxury boutique, and we do not try to be. Pieces here start from around $18. That is possible because we set stones in silver rather than gold, and sell directly instead of through a shop's markup. You are paying for the jade.
Grade A only
Everything here is Grade A: natural, untreated jadeite, exactly the colour and translucency it grew with. We do not sell Grade B (bleached and resin-filled) or Grade C (dyed), at any price. If a piece you bought from us is ever tested by an independent accredited gemological laboratory and turns out to be anything other than natural Grade A, we refund you in full. There is no time limit on that.
Where the stones come from
Only two places on earth produce gem-quality jadeite, and we buy from both. Myanmar (Burma) is the traditional source, known for vivid greens and lavender. Guatemala tends toward deeper forest and blue-greens, and is often better value for similar quality. We name the origin on every listing rather than calling it all "Asian jade".
Why we show the flaws
Most jewellery photos are taken to hide things. Ours are taken to show them. Each piece is shot in daylight without filters, and what is in the stone - cotton (棉), stone lines (石纹), uneven colour - is written down and visible in the photographs. If a piece has a crack or surface wear, we say so on the listing.
It probably costs us some sales. But jade that looks flawless and evenly coloured at a low price has usually been treated, and the marks you can see in ours are the reason to trust that it has not been.
