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

Authentic spinach green nephrite jade

Each leaf is cut long from spinach green nephrite jade from Russia, one deep green from stem to tip. The stone is semi-translucent, so the thin edges of the leaf glow, and it carries the small black iron specks that natural spinach nephrite always shows. The two leaves are matched from the same material. Natural and untreated: no dye, no resin, no bleach. The color framing them is fired enamel on gilded silver.

The leaf, worn for growth

The leaf is the plainest symbol of growth there is, and green jade has carried the same meaning since the earliest carvings: new life, renewal, things still becoming. A long jade leaf at the ear is worn for growth, the living kind that keeps going through the season. Its benefit is a reminder that you are still growing too, at whatever stage you are in. Wear them through a summer of change, or give them to someone in full bloom.
