Manufacturing
We manufacture in Hong Kong and Tokyo to leverage on each city's rich 10,000-plus year heritage in jade manufacturing. Hong Kong is renowned for having the best jade cutters in the world, whilst Tokyo is renowned for Quality control and precision. We harness the benefits of both cities.
We're consistent in quality but still maintain the nuances and uniqueness where each piece of natural jade varies slightly.

Types of Jadeite
All types of Jadeite are still real Jadeite, but are categorized differently. We use and can use all types of Jadeite, but we are always transparent about the materials used.
A-Jade: No enhancements or treatments of any sort (except wax polishing)B-Jade: Minor impregnations to fix cracks or bleached with Acid
C-Jade: Minor dying to make the color even or more saturated
Remember, Jade is completely dependent on the eye of the beholder. We recommend Jade based on appearance, preference, and budget.
How to identify A-Jadeite?
A-Jadeite is the purest, unenhanced and untreated form of Jadeite. Being the most expensive, there are numerous fakes in the markets. We always are fully transparent, and offer all types of Jadeite to cater to any budget.
If you are sold something as A-Jadeite, we want to make sure that, that is what you have. Most importantly, only buy from a trusted seller. FYORO always specifies if the Jade is Type-A along with the origin.
There is no way to be sure about the quality or treatments unless you give it an expert Jeweler or a renowned Laboratory. But there are some tests at home that would point you in the right direction or give you an indicator.
- The ping test: Perfect A-Jadeite, when pinged against a coin on a string would give off a high pitched, clean, glass-esque ping with reverberations. B-Jade or C-Jade would be a dull tapping sound.
Note: Though, A-Jade creations may also express dull sounds if there are any cracks or crevasses. I.e. if it pings its A-Jadeite for sure. If it doesn't it could potentially be B-Jade or C-Jade. - Cold to the touch: A-Jadeite is cold to the touch, and doesn't heat up quickly when touched with your palm or fingers.
- UV Light Test: Flashing a UV Light would potentially expose any overt treatments, impregnations, or dyes. Though there are some examples of dyes and impregnations that don't react much to this spectrum of light.
- Scratch test: A-Jadeite doesn't scratch easily with a knife or screw (Be careful though, Jadeite can be prone to shattering with intense pressure).
- Value: If a deal sounds too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true.
We recommend that you get in touch with us to learn more, and/or consult with us for any doubts. Only buy from a trusted seller and only laboratory's are accurate. We accept no responsibility for any other dealers or sellers stones.

About Jadeite
Factors that determine value of Jadeite (In decreasing order of weightage in determining value):
- Treatments - whether or not the Jadeite has been processed
- Color - Hue (Show hue wheel), Tone (Show tone wheel), Saturation (Show scale).
- Optics: Transparency and Luster - The higher the transparency, the better the value. (Though, in most cases a higher transparency comes with lower color, so to get Jadeite that has high color and transparency is extremely rare). Luster refers to the shine and sparkle.
- Size - The bigger the stone, the higher the value.
- Pattern, Marbling, Texture - The interplay of the fibers or inclusions, or even hues, create a unique and identifiable look for each piece. These nuances are what makes each piece different. These may be visible to the naked eye, and also under 10x zoom. The less the patterns, the higher the value. Though we don't necessarily think that the less the pattern, the better the look, there are some beautiful examples of unique patterns that enhance the look in our opinion. And there are examples of stones with very little pattern, but super color uniformity. that also looks beautiful.
- Finishing - How well the piece is made/carved. The only factor that is not determined by nature. Whether the piece has any cracks, or rough edges. Our craftsman have some of the finest artisan work globally, and ensure the best finishing.
- Origin - Some of the highest quality Jadeite comes from Burma, China, Guatemala. But the origin also has signature inclusions, hues and other identifiers. Burmese Jadeite is the rarest, highest quality, and most sought after.
