Jade Sculpture
Michael Binkley carves nephrite jade, which is renowned for its hardness, durability and intrinsic value. The varieties of nephrite jade are harder than steel and therefore require specific tools to create jade sculpture. The beautiful deep green, nephrite jade of British Columbia, Canada now commands a very high price, due to Global buyers driving up the demand. Since jade is a luxury, Michael limits the inventory of jade sculptures for sale, as most collectors prefer to collaborate on bespoke jade sculptures.

Michael has learned the patience required to carve nephrite jade and he believes its colour, patterning and translucency take centre stage in any of his jade artwork creations. Therefore, he prefers not to execute fine details in his compositions, preferring to use his signature graceful flowing lines and curves to tell the story of each sculpture. We invite you to explore the collection of Binkley’s jade stone sculptures for sale, a well as a selection of past jade stone sculptures from his portfolio:
Michael Binkley’s Stone Sculpture Mastery in Jade
Jade has long been associated with ancient Asian culture, but the 20thC saw the emergence of North American artists making inroads into jade carving. British Columbia (BC), Canada is now a major source of the beautiful deep green nephrite jade that most art collectors are familiar. Known as the “Stone of Heaven”, Global buyers of raw, BC jade flock each season to Canada to purchase the high quality stone, as a commodity and for their sculpture production houses back home. Combined with the brutal hardness of the stone, these factors drive the retail price of Michael’s jade sculptures.
But whether it be the deep green of BC jade, or the white and caramel jade of Lake Baikal, there is no doubt of Michael Binkley’s masterful abilities, as he can reveal the beauty of this wondrous stone into exceptional sculptural compositions. Jade is most appreciated when it is polished to a high gleaming finish, as exemplified in Michael’s artworks.
The aesthetic beauty, durability and deep history of jade makes it a worthy addition to any art collection.
