Gorgeous jade and silver stud earrings. This is my favorite store. They do an amazing job showcasing the variations and natural beauty of jade in their pieces. Very friendly husband and wife duo. They also make custom pieces, which are amazing.

I am in love with my Jade bangle that Jessie and Churk helped me and my husband pick out! I have been searching for a raw, untreated Grade A jade bangle for years and found Churk’s online website. I’m so glad I went into the store to see their shop personally and to go through the selection.
Jessie and Churk are experts in their field. Jessie sized me in 2 seconds and slipped on my bangle for me with such ease and educated me on how to do it myself (I do not intend to have to do this often!!) The sizing is perfect, it is not too big or small. She was able to present me so many options based on my size. Churk showed me some bangles that were cut from the same stone, it was beautiful! You can tell he has such a passion for his art, he called his bangles his “sons”, it’s so endearing to have a work of his art. I saw raw slabs of jade, it felt so nice purchasing from the artisan himself and not just a wholesaler. They both educated me further on the different types of jade, how moisture affects the stone, resizing bangles, repolishing, etc.
Aside from enjoying supporting a small, family owned business, the quality of the product is top notch. I am in love with my bangle and so happy to get to wear it every day. If you are looking for any type of jade products, be it custom as well, Eastern Star Jade should be your stop.
I texted their number on the voicemail to set up an appointment just 2 days in advance!

After looking for a reputable jade seller in the area, I was so pleased to find out about Eastern Star Jade, an OC business that's been in the jade industry for decades. Jessie and Churk run this humble store tucked between a dentist's office and a restaurant in a small shopping center. Jessie is a shrewd and charismatic businesswoman, while Churk is a creative, friendly craftsperson. They make a great duo!
Due to the lack of overhead costs, Jessie and Churk are able to offer reasonable prices on their huge selection of jade. All of their jade, which is imported from Burma, is 100% natural, non-enhanced, and untreated. You can even ask to see the slabs of jadeite and nephrite up close. They're more than happy to share their decades of knowledge about jade, and I've happily sat at their counter asking how to evaluate the quality of jade. It's a pleasure to watch Jessie and Churk at work.
Over the past month or so, I've (impulsively) picked up several pieces from them: a stunning jade donut that Churk set in 14k gold, a bracelet of jade beads, a silver ring with a jade inlay, and two jade rings that were carved out of a slab I picked out myself in the store. Tragically I lost one ring at karaoke and then dropped and broke the other within the span of two weeks.... but Churk and Jessie reassured me that the pieces of the broken ring could at least be re-purposed into a silver bracelet I was also pleased to learn that Jessie is especially skilled at braiding woven bracelets, so I happily commissioned a red string bracelet with a small jade donut in the center.
Check out the photos on this review to see what they offer!

The piece I bought was fairly priced, and looks even better in person. I was also pleasantly surprised that I purchased it online at night and it shipped the very next morning.

14 years ago I had this made here. I came back because I broke a piece, he remembered making it. They fixed it very well. I appreciate the quality of work and if I ever needed something else I would come back.

Long overdue review. I put in a custom work order years ago for a lion dance head pendant and the results were fantastic Had frequent communication, with photos, sizing, type of jade, and suggestions on the design. Although the purchase was years and years back, the person I purchased this for still wears it to this day.

I requested the ring I purchased be resized and shipped quickly if that was possible and it was literally resized and shipped the next day! The ring arrived quickly and safely. I am very satisfied with the product quality and price and look forward to purchasing more jade jewelry from this business.

The owners are amazing and so kind. I purchased a ring for my partner and when it didn't fit, they shaved down the inside for her and now sure never takes it off. They are talented and hospitable. If ever you need anything Jade, come to Jesse and Hong

after months of researching shops & jade quality, i luckily landed on eastern star jade. i enjoy supporting family-run businesses, that's one reason i chose them. they have such high quality jade pieces to choose from and even do custom pieces. we made an appointment and i explained to them what i was looking for. my grandmother has a jade bangle she's been wearing for 26 years and honored me with my own for my 26th birthday. the owners are so sweet, educational and thorough. they really want you to feel comfortable with what you're choosing and answer any questions you have. many places try to sell dyed glass/quartz to pass as real jade at lower prices. they sell true burmese jade. if you want quality, go to eastern state jade. i can't thank them enough for making this such a sweet moment for me and my grandma. i left with a lovely jade bangle that matches my grandma's!
