These are not considered discrepancies in description or quality issues. The final color is subject to the actual product. We appreciate your understanding. [Important Notice 2]: This is natural jade! The presence of black spots, white spots, or internal lines are normal phenomena, formed naturally during the jade's formation over millions of years. Those who are perfectionists and concerned about these details, please be understanding and appreciative. [Important Notice 3]: Due to variations in batch production for packaging boxes, pouches, and hanging cords, the packaging you receive may not be identical. Please refer to the actual product.

If you require a gift bag, please contact the designer to make a note. ●● The Art of Jade Care: "Mutual Nurturing Between Human and Jade" A widely held belief regarding jade care is that "you nurture jade for three years, and jade nurtures you for a lifetime." Jade contains rich trace elements that are activated when warmed through handling. However, a simpler method is the "mutual nurturing" through close personal wear. The body's natural oils and sweat effectively moisturize the jade, enhancing its luster and radiance. Simultaneously, the warmth from your body activates the jade's trace elements, allowing them to be absorbed through the skin, promoting blood circulation and boosting metabolism, thereby contributing to health and well-being! ●● Timely Care for Jade When Not Worn If you are unable to wear your jade close to your body or must set it aside for special reasons, timely care is essential. You can periodically oil the jade. Apply baby oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil to a toothbrush and gently brush it evenly over the jade. Then, seal it in a bag for storage. ♡♡ If you have any questions, please consult the designer! ●●● What is Hetian Jade? Hetian Jade, one of China's "Four Great Famous Jades," traditionally refers to jade originating from the Hetian region of Xinjiang, with its "pebble" form being world-renowned. In a broader sense, Hetian Jade refers to nephrite (true jade). During the unification of China by Qin Shi Huang, Hetian Jade was known as "Kunlun Jade" due to its origin in the Kunlun Mountains. Later, it was called "Yutian Jade" as it was located within the "Yutian Kingdom." It was officially named "Hetian Jade" only in 1883, during the Guangxu era, when the Hetian Direct Jurisdiction was established. Although named after Hetian in Xinjiang, Hetian Jade is not strictly a geographical concept. It refers to a category of products rather than exclusively jade from the Hetian region. China classifies stones with a tremolite content of over 98% as Hetian Jade, falling within national standards. Therefore, regardless of its origin—Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or Korea—if its primary component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian Jade. Hetian Jade exhibits a rich spectrum of colors, including white, cyan, gray, light to deep green, yellow to brown, and black. Hetian Jade is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact and metasomatism between magnesian marble and intermediate-acid magmatic rocks. It contains a complex aggregate of minerals such as tremolite, hornblende, and actinolite. Its chemical composition is hydrous calcium magnesium silicate, with the formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5[Si8O22](OH)2. Its density ranges from 2.95-3.17, and its Mohs hardness is between 6.0-6.5. The primary structure of Hetian Jade is metamorphic, including felt-like cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous milky metamorphic structure, micro-platy cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, micro-platy metamorphic structure, and micro-radial (brush-like) metamorphic structure. Less common structures include residual fibrous structure and metasomatic coronitic structure. While the mineral grains in Hetian Jade exhibit some degree of orientation, it is not strong. Occasional instances of grains with undulatory extinction and plastic deformation are observed. These indicate that the stress intensity during metamorphism was within the elastic limit of the minerals. The main textures of Hetian Jade include massive and platy structures, with massive structures being more common.

[Brand Philosophy] Jade, traversing millennia through dust and wind, as civilizations rise and fall. With our hands and wisdom, we polish it, adorn it, infuse it with soul and thought, and bestow upon it personality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story – the story it carries from the past, and the aspirations it holds for the future. This, I believe, is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or themes, I aim to be grounded in the present, documenting this era, and telling its story through my unique artistic language. My hope is to resonate with more people. ●●● What is Hetian Jade?
