I been into jade for a year now. I learn so much from your channel. Thank you 🙏
So interesting, top quality information!
Very powerful information jade
Thank you, very interesting
So much knowledge
Wow you're so enthousiastic about the jade! Me too!
Jade people are fun people! 😜
Is that lavender Foo dog pendant available for sale?
Thank you for watching my video! What is your favorite symbol in jade jewelry and what does it mean to you?
Very inspiring 👏
Left out the 'RuiYi' or sceptre, originally a 'back scratcher'. There are eight Buddhist symbols which are often carved as well. This is one. The few others not covered in this video are the 'scroll', the 'fan', and the parasol.
I love my jade it is beautiful.❤
In the 3rd century AD, Chinese ethnic began to enter Indonesia, especially in the land of the pre-Srivijaya kingdom, at that time according to research the Chinese ethnic carried out trading and religious activities, the Sriwijaya kingdom was growing rapidly at that time and was dubbed the largest maritime empire in Asia, in 2015 the local community found pre-Sriwijaya civilization sites and lots of discoveries such as pottery, beads, gold, tin, porcelain, jade and others, the jade that I posted is the result of my own discoveries and according to historical analysis the jade is thousands of years old years and relics of the Tang dynasty, please take a look at all of my jade from the motifs and carvings, thank you
I love the videos and interviews. Maybe you can do a video exploring the Maori culture and many types of pounamu nephrite. They have many types and even picture or flower jade. The symbolism of everything from fishhooks to tikis is deeply engrained in the Pacific island culture.
I would really love to! Do you know of anyone who is an expert on that? I don’t know any carvers in New Zealand at this time, but would love to connect with someone :)
I know of a CZcams channel called "Campbell Carving". He also has an online shop through Facebook with the same name. He answers questions and responds to comments. He is very talented and very friendly. He is a very knowledgeable traditional carver. He sells rough pounamu and beautifully finished pieces also. He knows all the traditional symbolism. I believe he is a teacher in New Zealand also. That is where I would start. I hope this is a good source of information for you.
@@MTUnique I’ll definitely reach out to him. Thank you so much!!!
@@JewelsoftheTrade I would love to see a video from you about this. I can only hope for another interview with another expert.
@@MTUnique hi maam
Thanks for this. It’s a great reference for knowing and sharing what these Jade shapes are.
Request: For future video ideas you could do a New Zealand nephrite (pounamu/green stone) and what the Maori shapes represent.
Thank you so much!! I would absolutely LOVE to do a video series on pounamu. I’m working on trying to find some professionals to interview..I have a lot to learn when it comes to New Zealand nephrite!!
nice
❤❤❤❤
I have jade from my ancestor
Its double heads what is means
Two dragon heads? Or people heads?
@@JewelsoftheTrade called bysephalos nyprite jade
What does Elephant, Frogs & Cabbage symbolizes?
I have a jade pendant with a Kilin lion and dragon motif, thought to be a relic from the Tang Dynasty
I don't think I can think of a favorite.
I’m not sure what mine is either.. Maybe the bat! Or a peach! It’s hard to choose
He's wrong about alot
Which 1
And you're wrong about spelling a lot
