About BMjade — Authentic Jade Jewelry, Crafted from Myanmar to Yunnan
BMjade was founded in 2016 by Hong, a jade specialist based in Kunming, Yunnan — the capital of China's most established jade craftsmanship region. What began as a small workshop sourcing carefully selected Burmese jadeite has grown into a brand serving customers in over 30 countries, with one consistent promise: every piece is Type A certified, independently verified by NGTC, and crafted by hand in Yunnan. No mass production. No treated material. No exceptions.
Our Beginning — Why Hong Started BMjade
In 2016, Hong was working between Myanmar's jade markets and Yunnan's carving workshops — the two ends of the world's finest jadeite supply chain. What he saw frustrated him: an international market increasingly flooded with Type B (acid-bleached and resin-injected) and Type C (dyed) jade being sold to overseas buyers who had no way to tell the difference. Even worse, many sellers refused to provide independent certification — leaving customers to take it on faith.
Hong started BMjade with one straightforward goal: bring authentic, NGTC-certified Type A jade jewelry directly to international customers, with documentation they can verify themselves. No middlemen, no marketing tricks, no untraceable claims.
Today, nine years later, that founding principle is still the only rule we follow. Every piece in our collection is Type A. Every piece ships with an NGTC certificate carrying a serial number you can verify online. And every piece is crafted by hand in our Yunnan workshop — the same place where jade has been carved continuously for over 600 years.
From Myanmar to Yunnan — Our Supply Chain Story
Most jade jewelry sold online has no traceable origin. Ours has two specific places — and both matter.
Step 1: Burmese Jade Rough Selection in Myanmar
The world's finest jadeite has been mined from a single region — Hpakant, in northern Myanmar — for over 800 years. Hong personally travels to Myanmar's jade markets multiple times each year, working with established mining contacts to select rough stones based on:
- Surface skin signs that indicate internal quality
- Visible color traces showing potential flow within the stone
- Structural integrity to avoid hidden fractures
- Translucency hints through the stone's natural windows
Not every promising rough stone makes it back to Yunnan. Sometimes we walk away with nothing for the day. We'd rather buy less than buy poorly.
Step 2: Stone Evaluation and Windowing
Once back in our workshop, every piece of rough is examined under controlled lighting. For uncertain stones, we open a small window — a precise polished section — to verify the internal color, texture, and translucency before committing the full stone to production. This step prevents the costly mistake of carving a beautiful exterior over a flawed interior.
Step 3: Hand-Carving in Kunming, Yunnan
Yunnan has been the heart of Chinese jade craftsmanship for over six centuries. Our workshop in Kunming follows the traditional approach: the design serves the stone, not the other way around. Each piece — bracelet, pendant, earring stud, or ring cabochon — is shaped according to that specific stone's color, internal structure, and natural character. Generic templates don't apply when no two stones are alike.
Step 4: NGTC Certification
Before any piece is listed in our store, it's sent to the National Gemstone Testing Center (NGTC) — Asia's most respected gemological lab — for independent verification. Each piece returns with a certificate bearing a unique serial number. We don't certify our own work. The certificate, the number, and the lifetime authenticity guarantee follow each piece into your hands.
Our Authenticity Standards — Type A Only, NGTC Verified, Lifetime Guaranteed
In a market where "natural jade" can mean almost anything, we hold ourselves to three unbreakable standards.
1. Type A Only
Type A jade is natural, untreated jadeite that has only been polished. No acid bleaching. No resin injection. No dye. It's the only grade that holds its color and value for decades — and the only category we sell. We do not stock Type B (chemically treated) or Type C (dyed) material at any price point.
2. NGTC Certification Included With Every Order
Every piece ships with an official NGTC report carrying a unique serial number. The National Gemstone Testing Center is the most widely recognized gemological authority in Asia. The certificate is your verification document — you can confirm the serial number through NGTC's online verification system at any time, even years after purchase.
3. Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee
If any piece you purchase from BMjade is ever shown to be non-Type A — by NGTC, GIA, or any other accredited gemological lab — we will refund the full purchase price at any time, with no time limit and no exceptions. This guarantee has stood since the day we opened in 2016, and it has never been triggered. We expect to keep it that way.
