For centuries in Chinese culture, jade has symbolized protection, harmony, wisdom and good fortune. Many believed wearing jade could ward off negativity, bring balance and reflect inner virtue and strength.
This White jade pendant is carved in the form of a traditional bi disc, featuring intricate geometric and cloud motifs arranged in concentric circles. The soft white jade has a smooth, polished finish with a subtle, calming sheen that highlights the precision of the carving. Its balanced circular design gives the piece a timeless and dignified elegance rooted in ancient Chinese artistry.
In Chinese culture, the bi disc symbolizes heaven, protection, harmony, and the eternal cycle of life. The circular form with the open center represents unity between heaven and earth, while the cloud patterns signify auspicious energy, blessings, and spiritual elevation.
Xinjiang Hetian Jade (新疆和田玉) is regarded as the most traditional and prestigious form of jade in Chinese culture, originating from the Hetian region of Xinjiang. Revered for thousands of years, it is admired for its exceptionally fine texture, smooth oily lustre, and refined appearance. Xinjiang Hetian jade is especially prized for producing high-quality white jade and the legendary “mutton-fat jade,” symbolising purity, harmony, wisdom, and nobility. Its deep historical and cultural significance has made it one of the most treasured jade sources in the world.

Our jade pieces are crafted using carefully selected 老坑料 (old-mine material), valued for its superior density, stability, and long-term durability.
Compared to newer material, old-mine jade is known for its exceptional 细腻度 (fine and refined texture) and rich 油性 (natural lustrous sheen), giving the jade a smooth, silky touch and elegant glow.
Due to the dense and stable nature of old-mine Hetian jade, the material does not easily deteriorate, dry out, or lose its beauty over time. With proper care, genuine Hetian jade is suitable for lifetime wear and can even be passed down through generations.
All our jade pieces are individually hand-carved rather than machine-moulded. As such, slight variations, asymmetry, or minor irregularities in shape and finishing may be present. These are not considered defects, but part of the craftsmanship and uniqueness of authentic hand-carved jade.
Natural jade may also contain inclusions, veins, cotton, or mineral patterns formed naturally over time. These characteristics are part of the jade’s authenticity and natural beauty.
As every piece is made from natural jade, each item is unique in tone, texture, and pattern.
We are a Singapore-based business committed to providing authentic natural jade with transparency and accountability.
For customers who prefer additional assurance, meet-ups and viewing arrangements can be discussed where feasible. Our customer service team is also readily available to assist with any questions, clarification requests, or after-sales support whenever needed.
Certificate of Authenticity from the craftsmanship source will be provided. Local NGI certification and assessment can also be arranged upon request at prevailing NGI assessment rates, together with a nominal administrative fee for arrangement and processing.
