Good fortune was once written with a goat. A white nephrite goat head, its horns curling back in spirals on either side, carved to be read from every angle.

On ancient Chinese bronzes, the blessing 吉祥, auspicious, was often inscribed as 吉羊, with the goat standing in for good fortune itself. The symbol carried that meaning forward for centuries, a wish for harmony and gentle days. Carved in white nephrite, it keeps the old character close, in a form that sits with quiet weight against the body.

Part of the Nephrite Collection, where jade is shaped with restraint and worn for what it holds.

An old way of writing luck, held in the hand.
