Our History
The Cariboo Jade Shop was established in Cache Creek by the Fear Family in 1967. Located in the Cariboo region of the British Columbia Interior, it specialized in B.C. Nephrite jade jewellery & carvings as w
ell as figurines, ornaments and fine china dishes. Originally a small store sharing the building with a dress shop, the Fears grew the business and expanded it’s offerings so the store eventually filled the entire space. The current owners bought the shop in 1985 and added a windowed workshop area where visitors could view the stone cutting equipment, as well as photos of jade mining sites and displays of the carving and cabochon cutting processes. A one foot thick nearly 3,000 lb. rough jade boulder was added to the front step of the shop to complete the display.
Over the years the shop has continued to expand it’s offerings and gained a reputation as a place to buy uniquely Canadian gift and souvenir items at reasonable prices. It soon became a popular stop for tour buses, travellers and locals alike. Many customers have fond memories of stopping in Cache Creek as a child on family vacations through the B.C. Interior. They continued to stop by through the years with their children or grandchildren to browse through the shop for a treasured souvenir.
Present Day
The Cariboo Jade Shop continues to specialize in B.C.’s Provincial gemstone nephrite jade, carrying a wide selection of jewellery in gold or silver plated settings as well as sterling silver. Jade carvings range in size from small figurines to large one-of-a-kind artisan signed pieces. We also carry jewellery in semi-precious stones from B.C. and throughout the world, including rough and polished stone specimens.
We closed our physical store in December 2023 and moved to an online store platform which allows people from all over the world to access our shop 24 hrs a day, 7 days per week. We welcome you to browse our shop to see the variety of items available.
