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 celadon Hetian nephrite jade

The disc is Hetian nephrite jade from Xinjiang, China, in celadon, a pale green cooled with gray. It is semi-translucent and even, with the soft waxy glow that separates fine nephrite from glass. Half the pendant is jade; the other half is black obsidian, natural volcanic glass. The jade is natural and untreated: no dye, no resin, no bleach. Both stones are held in engraved sterling silver on a braided cord.

Design

The peace button, worn for protection

The pierced jade disc is the peace button, the oldest guardian symbol in jade, worn so that the day passes without incident. Here it is paired with black obsidian, a volcanic glass with its own long reputation as a protective stone. Day and night, both on watch. It is worn for protection and suits a man who travels, works long hours, or carries responsibility for others. Its benefit is a sense of steadiness at the chest, a reminder of what you are guarding.
