You’ve seen it—some jade glows like moonlight, some sparkles like glass, and some… feels like holding silk. But what makes jade look so different?

Spoiler: It’s all in the polish.

At MystoryofOrient.com, we believe a good polish doesn’t just make jade pretty—it brings out its soul. Let’s break down the three most common polish styles and what they say about your jade.

💎 1. Glossy Shine – Like Glass, But Jade

Think mirror finish. Achieved with ultra-fine abrasives or high-vibration polishers, this style is loud, proud, and perfect for dark-colored jade that loves the spotlight.

🌿 2. Matte Finish – Subtle, Understated, Cool

Matte is back! And in jade, it’s giving ancient, refined, and a little mysterious. It looks like frosted glass and feels like a breeze on stone. Perfect for heritage pieces and a minimal chic vibe.

“This one’s whispering stories from 1,000 years ago.”

🌕 3. Silky Glow – Our Favorite (Jin Rou Guang)

Here’s where jade goes luxury. This finish is 100% handmade, built up with layer after layer of sanding and love. The result? A buttery, powdery glow that looks soft enough to touch.

“Like candlelight on skin—this is jade at its most romantic.”

But Wait—What About the “Oiliness”?

Glad you asked! In jade terms, oiliness = quality, but polishing just reveals it—it doesn’t create it. Even the best polish can’t fake true material richness. Still, a great finish makes a great stone shine its brightest. Don’t just take our word for it—GIA says polish is key in jade grading.
