Holding true to our brand values and heritage, Meilia uses certified grade A, untreated nephrite jade sourced from British Columbia, Canada and Xinjiang, China. As our stones are natural and untreated, no two stones will be alike. Each Meilia piece will feature a unique gemstone with beautiful colors and shading.

We chose to incorporate nephrite jade into our designs because of its durability, affordability, and ease of working with. The deeper shade of green found in nephrite also brings about a deeper contrast with the metals we use. This allows us to provide you with beautiful, modern jade jewelry at reasonable prices.
