◎Hetian jade, one of China’s four famous jades, also known as “Hetian jade,” has been cherished by royalty and literati since ancient times. Its fine, warm texture and moderate hardness, producing a resonant sound when struck and a warm touch, have earned it the reputation of “the gentleman among jades.” The *Book of Rites* states, “A gentleman compares his virtues to jade,” highlighting the ancient Chinese use of jade to symbolize virtue, believing it possesses qualities of warmth, resilience, restraint, and benevolence. Wearing Hetian jade is not merely an ornament, but a symbol of self-cultivation and character, signifying peace, protection, and lasting blessings.
|Features of Hetian Jade in Derong Collection|
Hetian jade comes from diverse sources, including renowned deposits in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Russia, and Korea. Derong uses natural Hetian jade from Qinghai, characterized by its deep brownish-green color with a lustrous sheen, dense and fine texture, and natural grain visible when held up to the light. Certified by TULAB Taiwan Joint Jewelry and Jade Appraisal Center, it is confirmed to be natural Hetian jade, untreated or undyed, retaining its original texture and color.
