Jade Artisan began with a family legacy that started in Taipei more than three decades ago.
In 1989, my parents founded Da Han Artisan, an antique gallery in one of Taipei’s most renowned antique districts. Over the years, it grew into three galleries, becoming a trusted destination for collectors of jade and Asian antiques. Growing up surrounded by these remarkable pieces, I came to understand that jade was never simply a gemstone. It was a work of art, a cultural treasure, and a story passed from one generation to the next.
For many years, I never imagined continuing the family business.
That changed after Will and I were married.
As a wedding gift, my parents gave us several treasured pieces of jade jewellery. While they represented family memories and tradition to me, Will saw them with fresh eyes. Captivated by their beauty, he asked a simple question:
“If jade is this extraordinary, why doesn’t the rest of the world see it this way?”
That question stayed with us.
While living in Geneva, a city known for its appreciation of fine craftsmanship and timeless design, we began to see my family’s heritage differently. We realised jade deserved to be appreciated not only for its cultural significance, but also as one of the world’s most remarkable gemstones.
That vision became Jade Artisan.
Today, we continue my family’s decades of expertise while presenting authentic jade through a contemporary lens. Every piece is crafted from carefully selected natural jade, celebrating the individuality of each stone and the artistry behind it.
Our roots remain in Taipei. Our perspective was shaped in Geneva. Together, they inspire our mission: to share the timeless beauty of jade with a new generation around the world, creating jewellery that is meant to be worn, cherished, and passed on for generations.
