The XUN SHIcollection features Hetian jade as its core material, seamlessly combined with traditional jade carving techniques and matte 925 silver. This meticulous craftsmanship results in a texture as smooth and delicate as polished jade. The interplay between circular metal and square jade elements embodies the Eastern philosophy of "Heaven is round, Earth is square," symbolizing simplicity like flowing water, the balance of yin and yang, and the harmony between motion and stillness.
Breaking away from conventional "Eastern aesthetics," the XUN SHI collection introduces a more modern and impactful design language. By blending traditional Hetian green jade with matte 925 silver, it achieves an innovative mix of classic jade and contemporary metal. This combination not only highlights the diversity of materials but also enhances visual depth through contrasting textures. The pairing of circular jade and square metal breaks the monotony of singular forms in traditional designs, creating a richer and more dynamic visual effect through complementary shapes.
Despite incorporating various materials and techniques, the overall design of the XUN SHI collection maintains a clean and refined aesthetic. The contrast between circular and square forms, along with the interplay of jade and silver textures, perfectly embodies the minimalist principle of "less is more." At the same time, the collection’s deep-rooted connection to Eastern philosophy and cultural heritage infuses it with profound meaning, adding depth and substance to its simplicity.
The dynamic aesthetics of the XUN SHI collection are further enhanced by the integration of an extended inner metal structure, seamlessly connecting the jade and metal elements. Traditional sandblasting techniques ensure the jade’s natural hues harmonize beautifully with the silver. As the wearer moves, the jewelry subtly shifts, adding an element of playfulness and bringing the pieces to life with a more three-dimensional effect. The optimized inlay structure adheres to ergonomic principles, reducing friction and discomfort, ultimately delivering a more comfortable wearing experience.
