The feather is carved from bright, clear green nephrite jade, with a smooth, raised shaft running down its middle. Fine grooves, set close like barbs, slant away from it on both sides and fan out around its rounded end near the lower tip; the outer edge rises and dips gently, as a feather's vane does. Its narrow top end is capped in 18K rose gold, and above the cap sits a round rose gold bail with a little green nephrite jade cabochon at its centre and natural diamonds set in an arc over its upper edge. Untreated nephrite jade, carved feather 25.3 × 9.5 × 4.5 mm, 2 g. 18K rose gold cap and bail; natural diamonds. 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; an NGTC certificate (China's National Gemstone Testing Center) is available on request for any piece, and a GIA identification report for high-value pieces.
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.
