Jade by Nikolai

Carvings forged from Jadeite coupled with gemstones were made to be carried or worn on the shoulders, back, wrists or breasts for protection from diseases, demons or evil influences. HOW MY JOURNEY BEGAN…

For centuries, humankind has studied the direct relationship between their individual personal energy and the universal energy which encompasses them. Chinese culture is dedicated to the practice and understanding of how to cultivate these natural energies in order to produce balance, nourishment and LUCK. I have examined Chinese numerology, earth elements, favorable colors, navigational / gravitational directions, and animals. Every day, week, month and year, I apply my knowledge of these practices to my own life and happily share this gift with many others. I have trained with generational Master Carvers. I have traveled generational routes around the world to source stone / material. I have endured the rigors of top level academia in the fields of jadeite, carving, sourcing and gemstones. I always strive to be the best I can be. I am GOOD at what I do, and I was not born with LUCK. My accomplishments are both great and small, and are entirely mine. They arise from a vigilant practice of always trying to reach for the best... and then a little beyond. Having good LUCK? Well that makes the end result just a bit sweeter. My passion for free diving led me to fishing which led me to a GOOD LUCK catch, a 190 pound yellow fin Tuna. A rare catch indeed for even those whom have fished a lifetime longer than me. It was a culmination of my knowledge of the sea, the currents, the location and LUCK! At Jade by Nikolai, our expert training, passion, knowledge, devotion and love for the Jadeite stone defines our collection. Our collection allows us to share the Ancient Chinese methodologies of positive energy, balance, welcomed recognition and all other amazing gifts bestowed upon us by our Universe. It is with the utmost gratitude that I share this knowledge, wisdom, insight, tradition and beautifully humble living stone. JADEITE
