The Board · 安康
Protection & Health安康
Wear peace like a garment, and let worry find no seam.
平安扣没有别的故事——它只有一个孔。老医者说：人之病，多半是心上的气没处走。一个孔，让气有了出处，病就轻了。此界之玉，刻的是那个孔。
The Ways
Peace that shields, life that endures.
The Peace Knot
A disc with a single opening, through which ill fortune slips away.
Warding
The gourd, the coin, the trigram — turned aside.
The Gourd
Holds what is good; rhymes with fortune and protection.
Longevity
Given to the newborn, worn to old age.
安
玉承其道
The Way of this Board
Peace is the greatest fortune.
Peace that shields, life that endures — worry finds no seam to enter.
There is a discipline to wearing a board-jade: it is carried on the body that asked for it, and it answers only its own question. One piece, one keeper, one intention — never shared, never repeated.

For Whom · 适合之人
This board is for…
The caretaker — one who tends others and forgets themselves.
The jade of this board — Hetian Celadon · 青玉 — answers the question you came with, and no other. If your heart is uncertain, the fortune page will read your elements for you.

The shapes this board favours.
形制有灵 · 与愿相契
The simplest circle of jade — smooth, unadorned, the shape most worn close to the heart.
The ritual disc of heaven, hollow at the centre — the ancestor of every round jade.
Full-round carving of the fortune guardian — often carried, sometimes as a weighty pendant.
The rectangular tablet of the scholar — front carved with a scene, reverse with a wish.
The loose term for a wearable carving — disc, animal, or figure suspended on silk or cord.
A closed circle for the wrist — once cut, never repaired; the oath of a marriage.

Questions · 常见问答
Everything before you choose.
问得明白 · 选得其所
Yes. We swear each rough to a single piece. The archive number on your certificate will never be repeated — the design is destroyed after carving.
Three ways: browse the seven boards and follow your instinct; ask the fortune page with your birth hour; or commission — we read your elements and carve to them.
Eight to twelve weeks for a single piece, from reading the stone to the grease-sheen. A full set may take a season. We never rush a stone.
Every piece ships with its NGTC appraisal, the carver’s mark, and a single archive entry — number, weight, origin, story.
Insured art logistics with signature handover, in a tamper-sealed silk-lined case. Full replacement insurance at the declared value.
Unworn pieces may be returned within fourteen days in their sealed case. Commissioned pieces are carved for you alone and are final.
The opposite — it needs to be worn. Four habits: wear close, polish by hand, avoid heat and chemicals, rinse in clear water.
The grease-sheen comes with time and the wearer’s warmth — months of wearing, a lifetime of deepening. It cannot be rushed or bought.
Yes — a single line, front or reverse, in seal script. We ask that it be short: a name, a date, a vow.
By appointment only, at our three houses. Write to atelier@jue.studio with your city and the piece you have in mind.
A kept jade is not an investment — it is a companion. That said, the house has never once resold a piece below the archive price, and the old families’ jades have outlived every market.
Your certificate carries the NGTC appraisal, the carver’s mark, and one archive entry. Write to us with the archive number and we will confirm it from the ledger — a number is never repeated.
Yes, at our Suzhou and Jieyang houses by appointment. Wear it a while; a piece should choose you as much as you choose it.
The sheen deepens by wearing, not by polishing. A rinse, a palm-dry, a night of rest — and the patience to let the stone age with you.
For commissioned pieces, the house accepts a three-part schedule: on order, on design approval, and on delivery. The stone is reserved to you from the first payment.
Bring it home to us. A broken jade is not an ending — the house re-carves it into a smaller form, so the same stone keeps its keeper.
