Thank you for your understanding. ●●Jade Care and Connection: The Art of "Mutual Nurturing" A widely held belief regarding jade care is that "one nurtures jade for three years, and jade nurtures one for a lifetime." Jade contains rich trace elements that are activated by the warmth generated from handling. However, a simpler method is "mutual nurturing" through close personal wear. The body's natural oils and perspiration effectively moisturize the jade, enhancing its luster and radiance. Simultaneously, the warmth from the body activates the jade's trace elements, allowing them to be absorbed through the skin, thereby improving blood circulation and metabolism, contributing to health and well-being! ●●Timely Maintenance for Jade When Not Worn If you cannot wear your jade close to your body or for any special reason must set it aside, timely maintenance is essential. You can periodically oil the jade. Apply a small amount of baby oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil to a soft toothbrush and gently brush it over the jade. Store the jade sealed in a bag for preservation. [What is Hetian Jade?] Hetian Jade, one of China's "Four Great Famous Jades." In its traditional, narrow definition, it refers to jade unearthed in the Hetian region of Xinjiang, with the "pebble jade" from Hetian 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 "Kunshan Jade" due to its origin in the Kunlun Mountains. Later, it was called "Yutian Jade" as it was located within the territory of the "Yutian Kingdom." It was only officially named "Hetian Jade" in 1883 (the ninth year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign) when the Hetian Direct Rule Prefecture was established. Although Hetian Jade is named after Hetian in Xinjiang, it is not inherently a geographical concept. It does not exclusively refer to jade produced in the Xinjiang Hetian region but rather a type of product. China designates stones with a tremolite content exceeding 98% as Hetian Jade, all falling within national standards. Therefore, regardless of whether it originates from Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or South Korea, if its primary component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian Jade. Hetian Jade boasts a rich spectrum of colors, including white, greenish-gray, gray, light to deep green, yellow to brownish, 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 composite of minerals such as tremolite, hornblende, and actinolite. Its chemical composition is a hydrous calcium magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5[Si8O22](OH)2, a density of 2.95-3.17, and a Mohs hardness between 6.0 and 6.5. The primary structure of Hetian Jade is a metamorphic structure, including felt-like cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous-nephritic metamorphic structure, microflaky-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microflaky metamorphic structure, and micro-radial (brush-like) metamorphic structure. Additionally, less common structures like relic vein structure and relict crystalline structure are observed. While the mineral grains in Hetian Jade exhibit a degree of orientation, it is not pronounced. Occasional grains show undulatory extinction and signs of plastic deformation. This indicates that the stress intensity during the metamorphic process was within the elastic limit of the minerals. The main textures of Hetian Jade include massive and flaky textures, with massive textures being more common. If you have any questions, please consult the designer!

[Brand Philosophy] Jade, traversing millennia through dust and wind, as civilizations dawn and fade. With our hands and wisdom, we polish it, adorn it, infuse it with soul and thought, bestowing upon it individuality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story – the narrative it carries from its past, and the aspirations it holds for the future. This, I believe, is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or themes, my aim is to be rooted in the present, to record this era, and to tell its story through my unique artistic language, hoping to resonate with more people.
