This one-of-a-kind piece has found its owner. Its record — serial number and specifications — stays on this page.
Natural nephrite jade · Untreated · Made in China
Cut from natural stone, no two pieces are alike: colour and grain vary from piece to piece, and your piece will differ slightly from the photographs.
This short nephrite jade column has four flat sides in place of a round one, and the edges where they meet are rounded off. The green is very pale, little more than a cool, greyish hint of colour in a near-white stone. A hole through the centres of the square ends takes a fine chain, so one flat side faces forward when worn. Untreated nephrite jade, square column 12 × 12 × 9.5 mm, 4 g. One of a kind. Chain not included.

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.
