Korean Jade jewelry is an important tradition in the Korean culture. Korean Jade is thought to have magical powers that can improve health, fortune and general well-being. Koreans also believe that this Jade can ward off evil spirits. Korean Jade is also believed to signify the Korean personality of politeness and determination. The Korean royal family uses it as a symbol of authority and fortune.
Jewelry made with Korean Jade was considered rare and expensive prior to the 1900’s. Royalty used Korean Jade to adorn their crowns. The stone was cut into hook or comma shapes and placed in prime locations on the crowns where the gems could easily be seen by onlookers. Royalty also wore Korean Jade that had been cut into beads as rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. It was a status symbol for the royal family due to its symbolism of good health and fortune.
