Hand-carving a unique shape in jade is truly a labor of love. I start by carefully selecting a piece of jade, admiring its natural hues and internal structure. With precision tools in hand, I slowly and methodically shape the stone, mindful of its nature. Each cut and polish reveals more of its inherent beauty, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind piece. It's a meticulous process that demands patience and skill, but the end result—a piece that captures the essence of nature’s marvels—is worth every moment.
Jade is a stunning gemstone known for its rich history and beauty. It comes in two main types: jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is prized for its vibrant colors, like emerald green, lavender, and even orange, while nephrite tends to have softer shades of green, white, or black. Both are incredibly tough stones, making them perfect for intricate carvings and jewelry.
Jade has been cherished for centuries, especially in East Asia and Mesoamerica, where it symbolizes purity, harmony, and protection. Its smooth texture and natural translucency make it a timeless favorite.
