Smiling Baby Buddha Jade Pendant

Our Jade Standard

At Aria Collection, we sell only natural untreated jade — never dyed, polymer-filled, acid-washed, or artificially enhanced.

There are only two true forms of jade: jadeite and nephrite. Our jadeite pieces are Type A (also known as Grade A), meaning they are completely natural and untreated.

Nephrite does not use the Type A/B/C classification system, but all of our nephrite pieces are likewise guaranteed to be natural and untreated.

We do not sell imitation jade, composite materials, or treated stones.

What “Type A / Grade A Jadeite” Means

When jadeite is classified as Type A, it has received no chemical treatment of any kind. There is no acid washing, no polymer impregnation, no dye or color enhancement. This preserves the jade’s internal structure, natural translucency, and long-term stability.

What We Never Sell

Most jade sold online today has been chemically altered. We never sell Type B jadeite jade (acid-washed and polymer-filled), Type C jade (dyed), Type B+C jade (acid-washed and dyed), or reconstructed, compressed, or imitation jade. These materials degrade, yellow, and lose value over time.

Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee

Every jade piece from Aria Collection is protected by our Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee. If any jade you purchase from us is ever proven through independent gemological testing to be treated or misrepresented — a situation we do not expect — we will provide a full refund or replacement.

Our Promise

We sell only what collectors and gemologists recognize as real jade — jadeite and nephrite in their natural untreated state.

This pendant is sold without a chain so you may pair it with your preferred style. An optional chain may be added at checkout for an additional cost.

Each piece arrives in a gift box, ready to present.

Orders ship from the U.S within 1–2 business days. We offer 30-day returns on unworn items in original condition. Please review measurements carefully before purchase.

This piece is hand-carved from natural jade. Minor inclusions, surface variations, or subtle irregularities are part of the stone’s character and the artisanal carving process. Color may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions and your screen.
