Brimful — Green Jade Gourd Drop Earrings

Sale price$101.00

Carvers have long given gourds to newlyweds; the Chinese name sounds like good fortune. This pair hangs spinach-green nephrite from a gourd drawn in zircon. The hooks are light; the movement does the rest. They catch light the way luck likes to arrive — in passing. A little plenty, either ear.

  • Jade: uniform spinach green nephrite, natural and untreated, from Xinjiang, China
  • Material: gold-plated sterling silver 925, set with zircon
  • Dimensions: 3 × 8 mm jade, 26 mm total drop, 9 mm wide
Sourcing

Every piece of Zeneuf jade can be traced. Each one is logged under a reference number, tied to a record of where it came from: the artisan who carved it, the variety of jade, how it was treated, and where it was mined. Nothing leaves us sold as simply "jade," and nothing is described on a guess. If you ever want to know more about the piece in your hands, send us your order number and we'll answer from its record.

Care

Jade is one of the toughest stones in common wear, made to be worn every day and kept for years. It asks for very little: take it off before the shower, swimming, sport, or cleaning, and put on perfume and lotion before your jewelry, not after. To clean it, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and dry it. Skip ultrasonic cleaners and jewelry dips. Keep it in its pouch, apart from other pieces, so harder stones can't scratch it.

The jade

Real spinach green nephrite jade

Each drop is a slender piece of spinach green nephrite jade from Xinjiang, China, cut and polished by hand, deep and even in color. The stone is semi-translucent where it thins, with the fine black iron specks that natural spinach nephrite always carries. The two are matched from the same material. Natural and untreated: no dye, no resin, no bleach. They hang below a gourd drawn in zircon on gilded sterling silver.

The gourd, worn for good fortune

The gourd is worn for good fortune. Its name, hulu, sounds like the words for blessing and prosperity, and its full belly is read as plenty; it is a traditional gift for newlyweds for that reason. A drop of green jade hanging from a gourd carries the wish at the ear, where it moves and catches the light. Its benefit is a hopeful sense of abundance for the year ahead. Give them for a wedding, a housewarming, or a new beginning.
