According to ancient Eastern beliefs, jade is a treasure crystallized from the sun and moon, the universe (heaven, earth, sun, moon) and the universe, symbolizing nobility, power and high class in society. Jade is not only rare but also very difficult to craft compared to other materials due to its high hardness and brittleness. Jade craftsmen need experience, skillful craftsmanship, patience and effort to create the perfect product.
In addition to its captivating, sparkling and noble beauty, Eastern people also have a mystical concept that jade brings luck, feng shui prosperity and is good for health. Through the process of trade, exchange and diplomatic gifts with other countries, jade was introduced to Vietnam through dynasties, especially the Nguyen Dynasty. Therefore, jade was favored and widely used in the Nguyen Dynasty royal family, not only used to craft jewelry and luxury items but also used to make national seals and royal seals. Jade is a national treasure, symbolizing supreme power and used in great ceremonies to connect heaven, earth and humans.
