Chinese Red Agate: a Long-Lasting Chinese Heritage

Each beautiful jewel is handcrafted by fine artisans in Beijing using exclusive Sichuan red agate reinterpreting the style of Qing Palace jewelry in an original contemporary key.

Unlike other common types of agate, red agate locally known as Nanhong agate is extremely rare and thus very precious, It can only be found today in China, especially in Yunnan and Sichuan province. Nanhong agate has been known since Western Han Dynasty (200 BC) and was very appreciated in royal courts under Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), where it was used to carve jewelry and decorative objects. Nanhong Agate is particularly cherished because of its intense red, a colour traditionally regarded as symbol of prosperity in Chinese culture.

Today, agate has become increasingly rare due to the progressive exhaustion of sources.

Care instructions: Red Agate is very delicate. Do not rub against hard surfaces, keep away from chemicals to avoid corrosion and avoid continuous exposure to sunlight.

As jade naturally contains water, keep it in an area of humidity to prevent over-drying.
