A small crescent, its face studded with natural diamonds, gathers two strands of 18K rose gold chain into a Y. From it, a short length of chain carries a single nephrite jade drop of vivid, saturated green, polished smooth and tapering upward into a slim, pointed cap of rose gold; hanging free, it swings slightly with each movement. Untreated nephrite jade, drop 16 × 7 × 5 mm, 1.9 g. 18K rose gold chain, crescent and cap; natural diamonds. One of a kind.

Care & wearing
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Store apart from harder stones (diamond, sapphire, quartz) that can scratch the polish, and away from perfume and hairspray. Knotted strands are restrung every few years of daily wear.

FAQ
Nephrite or jadeite? Both are jade, and both are exceptionally tough. Nephrite is the tougher of the two, with a softer, quieter luster; jadeite is harder and glassier. Natural nephrite jade is the principal stone in every JIE JIANG piece; where a piece also carries jadeite, its product page says so. The species is written on the tag, and for high-value pieces a GIA identification report is available on request.
Does it change with wear? Physically, a little: nephrite is very tough but not scratch-proof, so years of daily wear can leave fine surface marks. It does not fade or change colour.
Water and sweat? Fine for hand-washing and rain. Take it off for pools, hot tubs and sport: chlorine and sweat wear on silk thread and metal findings rather than on the stone. Dry it before storing.
