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.

We've made sending it back as easy as we can: request a return from your account or simply email us, and we'll send your return instructions within one business day. Send the piece back, and your refund follows within days of it reaching us. Would you rather swap it for something else? We'll ship the new piece to you free. And if anything arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, it's on us, every cost included.

The jade

Real celadon Hetian nephrite jade

The disc is Hetian nephrite jade from Xinjiang, China, in celadon, a pale green softened with gray. It is one even color throughout, semi-translucent, with the soft satin glow that fine Hetian nephrite takes under polish and imitation does not. Natural and untreated: no dye, no resin, no bleach. Your zodiac animal perches on it in gilded sterling silver, with a dot of zircon at the bail.

The zodiac animals, worn for your own year

The zodiac of the lunar calendar runs twelve animals in a cycle, and everyone is born into one: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, or pig. Each is worn for its own quality, from the rat's good fortune to the dog's loyal protection. Wearing your own sign in jade is a way of carrying your birth year with you, a small anchor of identity. Its benefit is belonging. It is a classic gift for a newborn, a milestone birthday, or your own year when it comes around.

Symbol

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig

Meaning

Good Fortune, Strength, Courage, Wisdom, Power, Energy, Serenity, Success, and Protection
