How did the Chinese become so associated and in love with nephrite and jadeite jades which are neither transparent nor sparkly? Why do other groups of people seem to have differing love for these jades?
This talk aims to dig deep into the rich stories behind the famed gemstones while cross-referencing rich historical records and traverse complex cultural and economic contexts around the world in search of an answer. The session will be conducted in an exploratory, interactive and participatory manner.
In the spirit of knowledge sharing in a relaxed environment, buying and selling of gemstones (including jades) is strictly not permitted.
