Jade represents the inheritance of China's traditional national style.

Jade inherited the traditional national style of China, representing Hetian jade. When "Guoyu" and Hetian jade are integrated into the traditional auspicious patterns in China, the works combined with modern jewelry technology make our eyes shine. It can be a classical and elegant folding fan printed with orchids, an animal face pattern, and a back pattern jumping on a jade totem, and it can be a national wind pot with gorgeous patterns.

Hetian jade not only ranks first in nephrite in the world, but also ranks second among the top ten candidate stones in China (Guoshi is still among the candidates), and it is also one of the "Four Famous Jade in China". The emblem of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games "China Seal" is made of blue and white jade from Hotan, Xinjiang, which perfectly combines the rich China culture with the Olympic spirit for the first time.

Matters needing attention and key points of Hetian jade:

Hetian jade can be divided into mountain material, Gobi material, landscape material and seed material at the beginning of development. Mountain material, as the name implies, is mountain material, which is generally mined in jade mines. Landscape is jade that has not been in the water for a long time, or has dried up in the process of evolution, so although it has been washed by the river, it has not washed all the edges and corners clean.

Seed material is jade collected from riverbed or soil, which has been eroded for hundreds of millions of years. Gobi material, which can be compared with seed material, is mainly produced in Gobi desert in southern Xinjiang. It is formed by weathering and caving of primary ore, long-term exposure to the surface and long-term interaction with wind, sand and rain. The wettability and texture of Gobi material are obviously better than that of mountain material.
