Each piece is crafted in pure 24K Antique Gold, enhanced with exquisite artistry and brilliant diamonds. More than jewelry, the 1848 Collection embodies heritage, innovation, and timeless jewelry, a tribute to craftsmanship that continues to define Lao Feng Xiang.

Before ruby, sapphire, or emerald were celebrated, jade was already revered as the ultimate gemstone in Chinese culture. Coveted for centuries, jadeite symbolizes purity, prosperity, and prestige. Today, it remains the rarest and most valuable form of jade — a treasure above the “Big Three” and a lasting emblem of cultural heritage and luxury.

Long before jadeite arrived, nephrite was cherished as the original jade of China. For over 7,000 years, it has been carved into ornaments, ritual objects, and heirlooms symbolizing virtue, harmony, and protection. Softer than jadeite yet steeped in unmatched history, nephrite remains a timeless expression of Chinese artistry and cultural heritage.
