In craftsmanship, the warmth of jade meets the brilliance of colored gemstones, while metallic lines trace natural textures—recreating the dynamic moment of butterflies dancing around blossoms. Within this miniature realm, the beauty of autumn blooms with poetic luxury, interpreting the romantic philosophy of Eastern aesthetics.
Hope Brooch
MATERIAL：18K Gold、Hetian White Jade、Diamond、Jadeite
SIZE：3cm×2cm×2cm ,CREATION TIME：2016
The Tianshan Snow Lotus thrives in the frigid lands above 4,000 meters—perpetually shrouded in ice and snow, where few beings survive, yet this flower blooms in solitary grace.
Crafted with the original “Yin‑Yang Carving Technique,” the piece captures the flower’s dual states of stillness and movement: now encased in frost, now flowing with the wind. Stillness and motion, withering and flourishing, Yin and Yang, cold and warmth—these paired energies achieve a harmonious balance, embodying the snow lotus’s true nature: born of extreme cold, yet inwardly ablaze with fire.
This being that blossoms upon the snow‑capped peaks symbolizes purity, resilience, and the kindling of hope.

SIZE：：4cm×3cm×1.5cm，CREATION TIME：2015
The Hetian suet-white nephrite plum branches embody the profound implication of "faint fragrance and sparse shadows"—the noble seclusion cherished by Chinese literati.
When the jadeite birds perched on the nephrite branches are worn as a pair, they create a vivid scene of "mutual chirping."
Sanctuary Ring

SIZE：2cm×1.6cm×2cm，CREATION TIME：2014
A lotus flower carved from Hetian suet-white jade blooms in tranquility. The bird’s body alternates between matte and polished metal finishes, while its feather textures draw inspiration from the gongbi (fine brushwork) technique seen in Emperor Huizong of Song’s Rui He Tu (Auspicious Cranes), revealing a serene demeanor of “preening with bowed head.”
Hetian jade is no ordinary material, but a spiritual vessel nourished by millennia of culture. The bird returning to its nest echoes humanity’s universal longing for spiritual sustenance.
Nocturnal Plum Brooch
MATERIAL：18K Gold、Hetian White Jade、Hetian Black Jade、Diamond
SIZE：4cm×2cm×1cm，CREATION TIME：2014
The painterly language of traditional Chinese ink wash is woven into Western jewelry design: Hetian black jade is carved into vigorous plum branches, their forms outlined with the brushwork spirit of the Song Dynasty’s “Slender Gold” calligraphy, while the twisted and gnarled stems are shaped using the “Han‑style Eight‑Cut” carving technique.
Against the ink‑black jade, buds of Hetian suet‑white jade bloom tenderly, adorned with 18K gold inlays and shimmering white diamonds that gleam with a quiet brilliance.
The composition of the branches draws inspiration from Ma Yuan’s “One‑Corner” style—achieving a dialectical unity of “emptiness” and “density.” Snow‑dusted plum blossoms and rugged boughs form a striking contrast: one white, one black; one still, one dynamic—evoking a vivid ink‑wash scene of winter‑night plum blossoms in the snow.
Fu Lu Shou Necklace
MATERIAL：18K Gold、Hetian White Jade、Hetian Black Jade、Diamond、Southern Red Agate、Jadeite
SIZE：25cm×3cm×2cm，CREATION TIME：2018
This necklace features a hand-carved pendant of Hetian black jade inlaid with diamonds, paired with a hand-sculpted gourd motif. Continuing Cartier’s 19th‑century tradition of East‑West dialogue centered on jade, the piece breaks from the brand’s historical reliance on antique jade artifacts—forging a bold new creative path.
Emphasizing jade carving as its core through full hand‑craftsmanship, the Fu‑Lu‑Shou motifs are not merely borrowed symbols, but a fusion of the philosophical essence drawn from The Book of Rites: “Blessing lies in wholeness.” This transforms the jewelry into a wearable “spiritual totem,” accomplishing a contemporary shift from “Eastern imagination” to “cultural confidence.”
