Thank you for your understanding. ●● The cultivation of jade is a practice of "mutual nurturing between human and jade." There is a consistent saying regarding jade cultivation: "The human nurtures the jade for three years, and the jade nurtures the human for a lifetime." Jade contains abundant trace elements. These trace elements are activated through the warmth generated by handling the jade. However, there's a simpler method known as "mutual nurturing." The most straightforward way to play with and maintain jade is through close personal wear! The body's natural oils and sweat effectively moisturize the jade, making it more lustrous and beautiful. Simultaneously, the warmth from the body activates the jade's trace elements, allowing them to enter the body through the skin, enhancing blood circulation and boosting metabolism, thereby contributing to health and well-being! ●● Proper maintenance is essential for jade when not worn. If you cannot wear the jade close to your body or for special reasons cannot wear it, it should be properly maintained. You can periodically oil the jade. Drip baby oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil onto a toothbrush and then evenly brush it onto the jade. Seal it in a bag for storage! [What is Hetian Jade?] Hetian jade is one of China's "Four Great Famous Jades." In its traditional, narrow definition, it refers to jade produced in the Hetian region of Xinjiang, renowned globally for its "seedlings." In a broader sense, Hetian jade refers to nephrite (true jade). When Qin Shi Huang unified China, Hetian jade was known as "Kunlun Mountain Jade" because it was produced in the Kunlun Mountains. Later, it was called "Yutian Jade" as it was located within the "Yutian Kingdom." It was only officially named "Hetian Jade" in 1883 (the ninth year of the Guangxu reign) when the Hetian directly governed prefecture was established. Although Hetian jade is named after Hetian in Xinjiang, it is not geographically exclusive. It does not specifically refer to jade produced only in the Xinjiang Hetian region but rather is a product name. China classifies stones with a tremolite content of over 98% as Hetian jade, all within the national standard. Therefore, regardless of whether it is produced in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or South Korea, if its main component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian jade. Hetian jade comes in a rich array 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 metasomatism between magnesian marble and intermediate-acid magmatic rocks. It contains a mineral aggregate including tremolite, actinolite, and pargasite. Its chemical composition is a hydrous calcium magnesium silicate, with the chemical 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-nectar metasomatic structure, microflaky-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microflaky metamorphic structure, and micro-radial (brush-like) metamorphic structure. Less common structures include residual fibrous structure and replacement coronitic structure. Although the mineral grains in Hetian jade exhibit some degree of orientation, it is not strong. Occasionally, grains show undulatory extinction and plastic deformation. These indicate that the stress intensity of the metamorphic process was within the elastic limit of the minerals. The main textures of Hetian jade include massive and flaky textures, with massive texture being more common. If you have any questions, please consult the designer!

[Brand Philosophy] Jade, traversing through millennia of dust, as civilizations rise and fall day by day. 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. What tale does it carry from its past, and what aspirations does it hold 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, record this era, and tell its story through my own artistic language, hoping to resonate with more people.
