Dejade Jewellery History & Origin - Jadeite

Our History

The story of Dejade can be traced back to 1971 when our founder’s father cut his first stone. The symbolism and mythology of jade fascinated him and fuelled his dedication to becoming a master craftsman. Over time he learnt about the intricacies of cutting jade and selecting rough jade directly from the source in Myanmar, where the world’s finest jade comes from. The value of jade is very difficult to ascertain and therefore its selection requires tremendous expertise acquired over a lifetime of experience. From his business on Canton Road’s renowned “Jade Street” he refined his skills for over 50 years, supplying jade to buyers all over the world.

Dejade began with a father's first cut, a journey into the heart of jade's allure.

Our legacy of mastery continues to enchant the world.

Our founder, Michael Lo, grew up in and around his father’s shop - this environment was influential, as he observed the highly skilled craft of jade cutting. The sense of mystery he felt on numerous trips to Myanmar to source rough jade inspired him to foster knowledge and expertise in the art of selecting only the finest pieces. With every stone selected, his father had a distinct vision in mind for what it would become. It was with this vision, passed down from father-to-son, that Dejade was born, bringing a refreshing modern take on classical designs. Dejade is rooted in family tradition and has grown from this rich history, building upon traditional values to create timeless modern pieces that will last lifetimes.

“The ability to select and then craft a stone to reveal its inner-beauty and potential is a true art form”

"When the inherent uniqueness of a jade piece is matched with bespoke contemporary design, a true masterpiece is created"

Artisan Design

The exquisite quality and uniqueness of Dejade designs enables us to craft timeless pieces that will create precious memories as they are worn throughout lifetimes. Each design is created as a form of artistic expression through the medium of fine jade jewellery -  through these miniature works of art, our talented craftsmen capture the signature Dejade style of Chinese symbolism and contemporary Western minimalism. Our inspiration comes from the diversity of flora and fauna in the natural world, and our jewellery reflects an interconnection between distinct cultures, as well as the past and future. The harmony between these elements is the very essence of our designs, as we reach a delicate balance between tradition and modernity.

With every design we tell a rich story about the extraordinary beauty of jade, so that our pieces undoubtedly stand out and leave an ever-lasting impression of sophistication. Our collections are curated with the specific intention of telling new stories with every release and to carry pieces that fit every mood and occasion, all while upholding an aura of luxury and grandeur.
