Round Jade Earrings | Natural Jasper | 8mm x 2 | Type A Jade | 925 Sterling Silver | Gift

Natural Jasper Jasper is one of two types of jade recognized in gemology, a variety of Hetian jade. It presents a spinach-green hue and belongs to nephrite. Jasper is known for its fine texture, possessing a smooth, lustrous quality often described as oily. The once internationally renowned "Taiwan Jade" was, in fact, jasper. Historical records indicate the use of Taiwan Jade for ornaments dating back to the prehistoric Neolithic era, with unearthed artifacts considered national treasures by the National Museum of Prehistory. Its mineral composition is primarily tremolite-actinolite, chemically a silicate of calcium, magnesium, and iron, with a hardness of 6-6.5. Jasper has been cherished since ancient times, even gaining popularity among royalty during the Qing Dynasty, where it was regarded as a precious item. Brand Philosophy "Xiao Jia Bi Yu" (小家碧玉) aims to convey various traditional auspicious meanings through its products, infused with contemporary design elements. We strive to create a design philosophy distinct from traditional jade ornaments, reinterpreting jade jewelry to showcase a different aesthetic. Our goal is to enable individuals to wear jasper in various settings, allowing the beauty of jade to be appreciated by all. The brand's symbolic image is the owl. In Japan, the owl symbolizes "blessings for peace," derived from its pronunciation, "HUKUROU." This extends to the meaning of "not working hard" (不苦勞), signifying smooth sailing and an absence of hardship—a representation of good fortune. We hope that through "Xiao Jia Bi Yu" products, we can bring customers small moments of happiness and contentment.
