Jade 101 & FAQ

All Yuora pieces use natural Grade A nephrite jade — untreated, undyed, and free from chemical enhancement. Each piece may show slight color variation, which is a sign of authenticity, not a defect. Perfectly uniform green color is usually a red flag for dyed jade.

Grade A nephrite does not fade. In fact, many wearers notice the stone develops a deeper, richer luster over years of skin contact — a process called "nourishing the jade." Only dyed (Grade C) jade fades, which is why we never use it.

Yuora uses natural Hetian nephrite jade, sourced from Xinjiang, China — the region considered to produce the world's finest nephrite. All product listings clearly state this. If a listing says "nephrite," it is nephrite.

In Chinese tradition, the left wrist is for receiving energy — luck, protection, and positive chi flow in. The right wrist is for giving energy outward. Most people wear jade bracelets on the left for this reason. However, wear it wherever it feels right for you.

Many wearers treat jade as a daily intention reminder rather than a supernatural object — a physical anchor to values like patience, protection, and forward momentum. You don't need to believe in feng shui for it to serve as a meaningful, beautiful piece you love wearing.

Yes. Zodiac jade pieces can be gifted to anyone — the zodiac animal represents the qualities you're wishing upon the recipient (strength, ambition, luck) not a restriction on who may wear it. Many people gift their own zodiac animal as a personal blessing.

The jade itself is water-resistant, but the red cord is not. Prolonged water exposure weakens the string fibers and may cause fraying or snapping over time. Remove before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. The jade stone can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth.

With proper care (no water, no chemicals, store flat), the red cord typically lasts 12–18 months of daily wear. In Chinese tradition, a worn or broken string is not bad luck — it means the piece has done its protective work. The jade pendant can always be re-strung.

All Yuora bracelets and necklaces use adjustable sliding knot closures — bracelets fit wrist sizes from approximately 5" to 8.5", and necklaces adjust up to approximately 20". The sliding knot allows easy adjustment throughout the day for a looser or tighter fit.

Yuora designs are intentionally minimalist and lightweight, suitable for everyday wear. Each product page includes exact measurements to help you understand scale. Most jade charms range between 12mm–20mm, offering a subtle yet noticeable presence on the wrist or neck.

Yuora uses natural Hetian nephrite jade sourced from the Xinjiang region of China, historically known for producing some of the most valued nephrite jade in the world. Each piece is selected for its natural color, texture, and durability. Slight variations in appearance are expected — this is a mark of authenticity, not inconsistency.

Yuora focuses on clarity, authenticity, and everyday wearability. All jade is natural, untreated Grade A nephrite, and product details are clearly described so you can make informed decisions. Rather than relying on vague claims, Yuora provides transparent information about materials, sourcing, care, and usage — so you wear your jewelry with confidence.

Yes. Yuora jade jewelry is designed for comfortable everyday wear. Nephrite is one of the toughest natural gemstones and handles daily use well. For best longevity, remove before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.

Nephrite jade is known for its exceptional toughness — it resists breaking and chipping better than most gemstones under normal wear conditions. Basic care extends its life significantly: avoid strong impacts, prolonged cord exposure to water, and contact with harsh chemicals or perfumes.

Yes. Many customers pair a bracelet with a necklace for a balanced, cohesive look. From a symbolic perspective, each piece can represent a different intention — making layering both meaningful and personal. There is no cultural restriction on wearing multiple jade pieces at once.
