Every piece of jewelry tells a story. At Wendy Jewellery, our story spans two continents, three generations, and a timeless passion for one of the world's most cherished gemstones: jade. We're proud to be Spain's first jewelry store specializing mainly, but not exclusively, in authentic nephrite jade.
A Family Journey from China to Spain
Our family's connection to jade began in China, but the path to Wendy Jewellery took an unexpected turn. My grandmother left China seeking better opportunities in Spain, bringing with her the memories of her homeland but focusing on building a new life for her family. Like many immigrants, she worked hard to establish roots in a foreign land, and jade remained a beautiful memory rather than a daily presence.
It was my mother, born in China but raised here in Spain, who rediscovered our family's jade heritage. Growing up between two cultures, she felt the pull of her Chinese roots and made the deliberate choice to learn the jade trade. She spent years studying jade quality, connecting with suppliers, and understanding the intricate differences between authentic pieces and imitations. What my grandmother had left behind as part of the old country, my mother reclaimed as a bridge between worlds.
I grew up watching my mother's passion for jade deepen. She would hold pieces up to the light, teaching me about translucency. She'd tap them gently, letting me hear the tone of genuine nephrite. She explained which colors were most prized and why the cool, smooth touch of real jade could never be replicated by glass or dyed quartz.
Why Jade? Why Spain? Why Now?
As a third-generation Spanish citizen with Chinese heritage, I noticed something remarkable: authentic jade jewelry was virtually impossible to find in Spain. While Chinese communities treasured their jade pieces, and tourists bought cheap imitations, there was no place where Spanish and European customers could learn about, appreciate, and purchase genuine nephrite jade.
That's when we realized we could fill this gap. Wendy Jewellery was born from my mother's expertise and our shared vision: to create Spain's first jade specialty store, introducing genuine, high-quality nephrite jade to customers who appreciate craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and timeless beauty.
Every piece in our collection is carefully selected using the knowledge my mother spent years acquiring: natural, untreated Grade A jade, sourced from reputable suppliers, and chosen for its quality, color, and that distinctive jade "feel" that can't be replicated.
More Than Just Spain's First Jade Specialist
Being the first jade-focused jewelry store in Spain comes with responsibility. We're not just selling jewelry; we're educating a market that has had limited access to authentic jade. When you purchase from Wendy Jewellery, you're not getting a mass-produced accessory. You're receiving a gemstone that has been valued for over 5,000 years, selected by people who dedicated themselves to understanding its true worth.
As a small, family-run business in Zaragoza, we take pride in offering personalized service. Whether you're looking for your first jade piece, searching for the perfect gift, or curious about jade's fascinating history and properties, we're here to share what my mother spent years learning.

A Grandmother's Dreams, A Mother's Dedication, Our Family's Mission
My grandmother came to Spain seeking opportunities. My mother found hers by reconnecting with jade. Now, as the third generation, I'm honored to continue building what she started: Spain's premier destination for authentic nephrite jade.
