Jade
A cornerstone of Chinese culture, jade embodies spiritual and philosophical ideals. From primal worship to a symbol of status and ritual in ancient rites, and later as a medium for emotional expression, jade has eternally carried the essence of “harmony between heaven and humanity.” Its Feng Shui significance—shaped by material, design, and wearing customs—intertwines natural energy with cultural heritage.
