Hetian Jade, one of China's "Four Great Ivories," traditionally refers narrowly to jadeite produced in the Hetian region of Xinjiang, famously represented by Hetian "seed jade." In a broader sense, Hetian Jade refers to nephrite (true jade). When Qin Shi Huang unified China, Hetian Jade, being produced in the Kunlun Mountains, was known as "Kunshan Jade." Later, due to its location within the "Khotan Kingdom," it was called "Khotan Jade." It was only officially named "Hetian Jade" in the ninth year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign (1883) when the Hetian Prefecture was established. Although Hetian Jade is named after Hetian, Xinjiang, it is not a geographical concept itself, nor does it exclusively refer to jade produced in the Xinjiang Hetian region. Instead, it is the name of a category of products. China names all stones with a tremolite content of over 98% as Hetian Jade, falling within the national standard. This means that whether produced in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or South Korea, as long as its main component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian Jade. Hetian Jade boasts a rich spectrum of colors, including white, cyan, gray, light to dark green, yellow to brown, and ink black. Hetian Jade is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact metasomatism between magnesian marble and intermediate-acid magmatic rocks. It contains an aggregate of minerals such as tremolite, hornblende, and actinolite. Its chemical composition is hydrated calcium magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5[Si8O22](OH)2. Its density ranges from 2.95 to 3.17, and its Mohs hardness is between 6.0 and 6.5. The primary structure of Hetian Jade is metamorphic, including felt-like cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous-honey-like metamorphic structure, micro-flake-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, micro-flake metamorphic structure, and micro-radial (brush-like) metamorphic structure. Less common structures include residual texture and replacement coronas. While the mineral grains in Hetian Jade exhibit some orientation, it is not pronounced. Occasionally, grains display wavy extinction and plastic deformation. These indicate that the stress intensity of the metamorphism 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. ●●The Playful Appreciation of Jade Emphasizes "Mutual Nurturing Between Human and Jade" The consistent saying regarding the playful appreciation of jade is "One nurtures jade for three years, and jade nurtures one for a lifetime." Jade contains abundant trace elements, which are activated by the heat generated from playful handling. However, there is a simpler method, now referred to as "mutual nurturing between human and jade." The most straightforward way to play with and care for jade is by wearing it close to the body! The sweat and oils secreted by the body can effectively moisturize the jade, making it more lustrous and radiant. In turn, as the jade is warmed by the body, its trace elements are activated and absorbed into the body through the skin, enhancing blood circulation and boosting metabolism! This provides health and wellness benefits! ●●Jade Should Be Maintained Promptly When Not Worn If you cannot wear jade close to your body or are unable to wear it for special reasons, it should be maintained promptly. You can periodically oil the jade. Apply baby oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil to a toothbrush, then evenly brush it onto the jade. Store it sealed in a bag. ♡♡If you have any questions, please consult the designer!

With our own hands and wisdom, we polish it, adorn it, imbue it with soul and thought, and give it personality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story. What tales does it carry from its origin, and what aspirations does it hold for the future? I believe this is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or themes, I aim to be grounded in the present, to record this era, and to tell its story through my own artistic language, hoping to resonate with more people.
