Certified Natural Xinjiang Hetian White Jade Pixiu Plaque Pendant – Relief-Carved Nephrite Guardian, 45 × 26 × 9 mm
A compact white Hetian jade plaque with a deeply modelled Pixiu relief, created for buyers who want traditional Chinese symbolism in a clean, wearable format. Carved from natural Xinjiang Hetian nephrite, the pendant measures approximately 45 × 26 × 9 mm and includes a jade identification certificate.
Material: White Hetian Nephrite
Hetian jade is nephrite: a dense interlocking fibrous mineral prized for toughness, silky touch and a mellow waxy lustre. White nephrite is especially suited to relief carving because soft shadows form along the recessed lines while the raised surfaces remain luminous and smooth.
Relief Carving & Polish
The rectangular plaque format provides a stable canvas for layered carving. The Pixiu body, cloud-like scrolls and framing details are cut at different depths before the surface is progressively smoothed and polished. Rounded edges keep the piece comfortable while preserving crisp relief.
Dimensions
Approx. 45 × 26 × 9 mm. The 9 mm thickness gives the plaque enough body for sculptural relief without making it overly heavy.
Pixiu Cultural Meaning
Pixiu is a famous auspicious creature in Chinese decorative tradition, historically associated with guardianship, prosperity and the gathering of wealth. We present these associations as cultural symbolism rather than a guarantee of financial or supernatural outcomes.
Styling & Display
Wear it over black, charcoal, cream or linen to emphasize the pale jade surface. When not worn, it can be displayed beside tea ware, incense accessories or scholar's objects on a small dark-wood stand.
Gift Appeal
A strong choice for birthdays, housewarmings, business-opening gifts, Chinese New Year and collectors of traditional jade carving.
Certificate & Care
Each pendant includes a jade identification certificate. Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, avoid hard impact and store separately from harder gemstones and metal jewellery.
