FAQs

During the Qianlong reign (17351796) of the Qing Dynasty, jade carving reached a peak due to imperial patronship and access to high-grade nephrite from Khotan. Two-piece belt buckles featuring intricate dragon or chilong motifs were worn as prestige items by nobility and high-ranking scholar-officials to signify rank and status.

These buckles were hand-carved from nephrite jade, favoured for its greasy lustre and toughness. Lapidary craftsmen used iron drills, bamboo tools, and abrasive sands to execute high-relief, low-relief, and undercut techniques, creating multi-layered relief figures and interlocking hook-and-loop closure mechanisms.

Authentic period pieces display soft, hand-polished surfaces rather than the uniform glass-like gloss of modern machine polish. Inspection under magnification reveals minute, subtle rotary tool marks inside deep crevices, natural inclusions within the nephrite, and a cool temperature to the touch.

Small carved jade objects are frequently displayed on custom-fitted black perspex or hardwood stands within glass cabinet showcases. They can also be mounted inside fabric-lined shadow boxes to serve as wall-mounted framed art.

Clean nephrite jade gently using lukewarm water and a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, acidic chemicals, and prolonged exposure to intense heat, and store the object wrapped in soft cloth away from harder gemstones to prevent surface scratches.
