In Chinese imperial tradition, Jade was considered the “Stone of Heaven,” symbolizing virtue, prosperity, and moral integrity and was reserved for nobility. In Middle Eastern trade routes, jade was valued as a protective and healing talisman. Jade is traditionally chosen for balance, prosperity, and ancestral blessing.
