Our Story

Kathy Lau - Founder Story

I was born in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. 

Growing up, I had always been captivated by my father's jade craftsmanship. For countless afternoons after school, I would watch in awe as my father marked each raw jade stone with precision and carefully hand-cut them to create these beautiful jewellery pieces.

Life took an unexpected turn when I had to move to Sydney at the age of 14.

And as the years went by, I found myself embracing aspects of Western culture, often just to fit in. Inadvertently, I also became more and more disconnected from my Chinese roots, losing a crucial part of who I was at my core, and this is how Jayde Jewellery was born.

A brand born out of the desire to showcase the precious Eastern gemstone to the world, but more importantly to allow others like me to stayed connected to and be proud of our unique heritage and values that make us who we are and help continue the cultural traditions, connections and love in families between generations.
