In Chinese tradition, the pig stands for generosity, compassion, and abundance. It is the animal of plenty, of a full table and an unhurried heart. Nephrite has been prized for thousands of years for its warmth and resilience, a stone meant to be worn close and kept for a lifetime. Its surface deepens with wear, slowly taking on the character of the one who carries it.
Part of the Nephrite Collection, where carved jade carries the oldest symbols of Chinese tradition.
