Jade Pendant Information
Jade Market – Hong Kong’s Dazzling Jade Bazaar
Amid the many street markets in Hong Kong, the Jade Market as its name suggests, is full of this beautiful and semi precious stone in all shapes and sizes. The market lies on the junction of Kansu and Battery Streets, just off the vibrant Nathan Road where vendors pack in to sell a wide array of items ranging from jewelry to electrical goods. Jade Market comprises of at least 400 stalls filled with jade items that are just waiting to be explored.
Very much a part of the Chinese culture, the emphasis on the jade stone celebrated at the Jade Market, is a reflection of the popular belief that the stone is associated with health, longevity and purity. As a result many Chinese people wear it as a protection against health hazards. The market is a dazzling place as it contains thousands of these greenish stones that are radiant in their vibrant colours and hues.
The market opens daily from 10 am to 5 pm and is an ideal place for tourists to pick up some gifts and souvenirs to take back home. The stalls are filled with lovely trinkets such as jade pendants, rings, bracelets, carvings and ornaments that are sculpted from large blocks into beautiful and delicate shaped items. Much of the jade on sale originated mainly from Myanmar, ranging from those impregnated with polymers, natural pieces or those dyed to enhance the colour.
Bargaining at the Jade Market is an expected practice. A visit to this interesting and unique market for travellers in Hong Kong is worth it, as you will definitely be able to be able to pick up some lovely jade items.
Visitors looking for a modern and elegant Hong Kong hotel from which to explore this beautiful city should consider the Eaton Hotel Hong Kong. This Kowloon hotel is a popular choice among tourists for its close proximity to many of the city’s attractions, including Jade Market.

Jade Pendant Question
What does this Chinese jade bar pendant say?
I got it as a gift, but the box doesn’t elaborate on what the characters are.
picture
康, “kang” from 健康, “jiang kang”, means “healthy”
寕 is an alternate form of 寧, “ning” from 寜靜 “ning jing” = “silent / quiet”.
愛, “ai” from 爱情, “ai qing” = “love”
How do I know if my jade is real?
I bought a jade buda necklace pendant and for all I can tell it’s real but I want to make sure.
I took it off for the first time since i bought it and it gets cold within seconds. I scratched it with a sharp knife and no mark was made. There is no metal setting, there’s a hold in the jade at the top, very small, and a silver hoop through that. I’m thinking I made a good purchase. All the tests I could perform at home seem to pan out. 
You can always go to a jeweler to find out. In the future, I would advise going to a jeweler you know/trust/have used in the past, so that you don’t have to doubt the quality of the goods.
