Welcome to ZaraJay Jade! My name is Jon, and I am a self-taught jade carver who began this incredible journey three years ago. What started as a passion has grown into a thriving business, fueled by my love for this timeless stone and the artistry of carving.

I began my venture with a market stall in the tropical paradise of Port Douglas, Australia, where I shared my creations every Sunday. Alongside my market stall, I also ran an Etsy store, connecting with customers who appreciated the beauty and craftsmanship of jade. Recently, I relocated to the Gold Coast, Queensland, to continue growing my business and sharing my passion with even more people.

My mission is to bring the beauty of jade to the Australian market by combining my global connections with my own hands-on craftsmanship. Jade is a stone of many colours, though most people immediately think of the classic green. Sourced from hard-to-reach locations around the world, the finest jade comes from places like Canada, New Zealand, and Asia. However, Australia is home to a unique treasure—Black Jade—a rare and high-quality gemstone that I am deeply passionate about.

At ZaraJay Jade, I specialize in working with this exquisite Australian Black Jade, aiming to elevate its recognition and appreciation within the Australian landscape and beyond. When you purchase from ZaraJay Jade, you can be confident that you are receiving genuine, high-standard jade, crafted with care and dedication.

Thank you for supporting my journey and for appreciating the artistry and beauty of jade. I look forward to sharing my creations with you and continuing to grow this passion-driven business.
