Our Journey
1960s
The Hong Kong Roots
1990s
The Los Angeles Transition
It began with our grandfather in a small Hong Kong antique shop. He was known for his discerning eye, trading in rare curios and fine jade long before it became a global standard. This era laid the foundation for the Artrade promise: trust in every piece.
The second generation brought Artrade to the vibrant heart of the Los Angeles Jewelry District. Here, we expanded our curation to include loose beads and professional supplies, catering to the booming community of local artisans and creators.
Today
Modern Craftsmanship
Now in our third generation, Artrade remains a destination for authentic jade, heritage collectibles, and crafting essentials. We continue to honor our past while embracing the new, maintaining GIA certifications and strict quality scorecards for every single stone.
