FAQ - Authenticity & Quality

Q: How can I identify a genuine Type A Burmese jadeite piece myself?

A: Identifying authentic Type A Burmese jadeite begins with touch; genuine jadeite naturally feels cold against the skin and has a dense, heavy weight compared to glass or plastic imitations. When illuminated with a strong flashlight, you should observe its natural internal structure, displaying interlocking crystals or fine fibers. The coloring of natural jadeite is rarely perfectly uniform. However, the most reliable and secure method to distinguish real jade from fake or chemically treated jade (Type B, C) is by examining a gemological certificate from a reputable, independent laboratory.

Q: What makes Burmese Jadeite different from jade found elsewhere, and why is it so highly valued?

A: Burmese Jadeite is globally recognized as the finest quality jade in the world, prized for its exceptional hardness, fine texture, and striking translucency. Originating exclusively from northern Myanmar, this genuine jade source is the only place on earth where the highly coveted Imperial Green jadeite is found. Burmese jadeite differs from Chinese jade (Nephrite) significantly; jadeite possesses a brilliant, glass-like (vitreous) luster and is available in a much broader spectrum of vibrant colors, making it the most sought-after gemstone for both exquisite jewelry and long-term investment.

Q: Do you provide a Jade Certificate with your items, and how can I verify it?

A: Every piece at Harmony of Jade is guaranteed to be 100% natural Burmese jadeite. Many of our premium items automatically include an independent gemological certificate. For items without one included, customers can request an official jade certification to be processed prior to shipping. Purchasing certified jade ensures the piece is officially documented as untreated Type A jadeite (no chemical enhancements or dyes). You can easily verify your jade certificate by entering the unique Certificate Number directly into the issuing laboratory's online database.
