Stone of Heaven,
Worn on Earth
In Chinese culture, jade — 玉 (yù) — is more than a gemstone. It is a moral philosophy made tangible: its hardness represents virtue; its translucence, wisdom; its warmth against skin, benevolence. Emperors wore it, poets wrote of it, lovers exchanged it.
"Better to be broken as a jade than to remain whole as a tile."
— Chinese proverb
The Jade Dynasty Collection draws from three jade traditions: the white nephrite of Hetian, revered since antiquity; the pale celadon of Qinghai, used in Song Dynasty court jewelry; and the vivid imperial green of jadeite, synonymous with Qing Dynasty prestige.
Each stone is hand-selected from source quarries, evaluated for colour consistency and structural integrity, then worked by artisans trained in the traditional 'patient approach' — each jade piece taking up to three days of hand-grinding to reach its final form.
