Chinese Jade Carving Master
中国玉雕大师
Yuan Jiaqi is a renowned jade artist whose work focuses especially on Hetian nephrite jade carving. Over the years, he has developed a distinctive approach that respects the natural color, texture, form, and character of each piece of jade.
Rather than forcing the stone into a predetermined design, his work often begins with careful observation of the material itself. Natural variations in color, skin, structure, and shape become part of the artistic composition, allowing the finished piece to preserve the individuality of the original jade.
His craftsmanship reflects both traditional Chinese jade-carving culture and a deep understanding of natural nephrite. This philosophy also forms an important part of Jade Master Vancouver: to appreciate genuine jade for its natural beauty, craftsmanship, and unique character. Good Jade, Good Vibes.

Jade Master Vancouver
Good Jade, Good Vibes
Jade Master Vancouver was founded in 2002 to share the beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural spirit of natural jade. Our story began with Jade Master Yuan Jiaqi, whose work has long focused on carving and appreciating Hetian nephrite.
For more than 20 years, we operated a physical jade store in Vancouver, British Columbia, serving customers who came to us with many different reasons for choosing jade—some for everyday wear, some for meaningful gifts, and others for collecting. Today, our online store continues that same approach, making carefully selected jade more accessible to jade lovers in Canada and beyond.
We specialize in natural Hetian nephrite and Myanmar jadeite, with pieces ranging from simple, wearable jewelry to distinctive cobblestone nephrite and finely crafted collector pieces. We believe every piece of natural jade has its own character, shaped by its color, texture, translucency, inclusions, and the individual structure of the stone.
Authenticity has always been central to our philosophy. The jade we offer is 100% natural and untreated, and we aim to describe each piece as accurately and transparently as possible so customers can understand what makes it unique.
For us, jade is more than a beautiful material. Across generations, it has been associated with harmony, positivity, protection, and meaningful connection. We believe good jade should not only be pleasing to the eye and touch, but should also bring a sense of warmth and enjoyment to the person who wears it.
Good Jade, Good Vibes reflects that simple philosophy: choose genuine jade, appreciate its natural individuality, and find a piece that feels personally meaningful to you.
