Follow the decisions behind material, carving and the final hand feel before you choose a piece.
We inspect each stone in daylight for structure, translucency, oiliness, tone and natural inclusions. Thickness is chosen with the motif in mind: enough body for a confident hand feel, with softened edges that sit comfortably when worn. Front, back, edge and transmitted-light photographs make the material easier to compare.
The motif follows the stone's natural character. Line depth, relief height, edge radius and negative space are reviewed together before carving begins.
Carvers protect strength while shaping a clear outline and comfortable transitions. For custom work, drawings and checkpoints keep the composition aligned with your brief.
Each documented plaque can include dimensions, weight, carving notes and certificate details, plus practical guidance for storing and wearing natural jade.

See all FAQsSeed jade and mountain jade form in different ways, but neither label alone decides quality. Compare the actual structure, colour, oily feel, inclusions, workmanship, condition, documentation and price of each plaque.
A laboratory report can identify the tested material and disclose detectable treatments within its scope. Check the report number, product name, photograph, material description and remarks against the exact plaque. A report does not normally prove a precise mine or river origin by itself.
Yes. Ask for current front, reverse, edge and transmitted-light photographs, plus a short close-up video. These views help you judge tone, inclusions, polish, thickness and the way the plaque sits in the hand.
A slim 6 mm profile is light and easy to layer. Around 8.5 to 9.5 mm feels steadier in the hand, while a 10 mm-plus profile can support deeper relief. The best choice also depends on the plaque dimensions, cord and your clothing.
Price reflects the specific stone, not just the word Hetian: structure, colour, translucency, oily feel, natural skin, usable size, carving quality, labour, condition and documentation all matter. Compare like-for-like photographs, measurements and reports before judging value.
