FAQs

Pierced jade plaques became prominent during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, where master artisans carved nephrite jade into intricate openwork designs. These plaques were traditionally worn as belt ornaments, mounted onto wooden furniture, or displayed on custom stands as symbols of scholar status and refined taste.

Artisans carved these items from natural nephrite jade using hand tools, wire saws, and abrasive quartz sands. The intricate openwork, or pierced technique, required drilling initial pilot holes and carefully sawing out negative spaces to create layered figurative and botanical motifs.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle variation in natural stone colouration, visible hand-carving marks within the pierced recesses, and soft wear along the edges rather than harsh modern machine cuts. Genuine nephrite feels cold to the touch and possesses a distinct density and greasy luster distinct from glass or resin reproductions.

Display the plaque on a minimalist metal or clear acrylic stand positioned on a dark wood console table, bookshelf, or mantelpiece. Backlighting or placing the item near natural light highlights the translucency and detail of the pierced stone work.

Clean jade objects using a soft-bristled brush with warm water and mild dish soap to remove dust from the intricate pierced openings. Avoid chemical cleaners, ultrasonic machines, or sudden temperature fluctuations that could compromise the integrity of the natural stone.
