Jewels of the jade age

IT'S a Hong Kong favourite.

Its smoothness strikes a chord in the heart of the territory's gem aficionados.

How deep a chord remains to be seen when the green stuff goes on sale this week.

Highlighted here are some of the more interesting and 'important' jade pieces that will be included in Sotheby's Fine Jadeite Auctions at the Furama Kempinski hotel, today, tomorrow and Thursday, paired with that perennial local obsession . . . food.
