There is a special synergy that happens when we combine the grounding properties of the earth with the ethereal light of the moon. In this latest design, we've paired the nurturing, protective energy of Nephrite Jade with the intuitive glow of Moonstone. Together, they create a beautiful balance for the wearer—connecting the heart chakra's call for peace with the third eye’s reach for inner wisdom.
Whether you are navigating a new beginning or simply looking to carry a piece of the West Coast's serenity with you, this pairing offers a grounded path forward.
The Elements
Nephrite Jade: Known as a stone of health, abundance, and emotional balance. Its deep green hues mirror the mossy floors of our coastal forests, offering a sense of protection and physical well-being.
Moonstone: A stone for new beginnings, moonstone carries a receptive, feminine energy. It serves as a bright beacon among the dark jade, encouraging intuition and inner clarity.
This piece is finished with a high-polish silver-toned bead for a touch of refined contrast.

Interesting historical beliefs and uses of Jade.
- China: Revered as the "stone of heaven," embodying five virtues: wisdom, justice, modesty, courage, and purity. Used in elaborate burial suits and rituals to preserve the dead and ensure immortality. Symbol of imperial power and high social status.
- New Zealand (Māori): Known as pounamu, or greenstone, it is considered a sacred taonga (treasure). Believed to be a talisman that ensures long life and fertility, with pieces gaining spiritual power (mana) when passed down through generations.
- Mesoamerica (Aztec, Maya, Olmec): Valued more than gold, symbolizing life, fertility, and the heavens. Adored for its healing properties, particularly for internal organs. Used in religious rituals and believed to connect people to their gods.
- Spanish Naming: Named piedra de ijada (stone of the flank) by the Spanish conquistadors, who observed the Aztecs using it to treat kidney and side pain, a name later shortened to "jade."
