There are stones that don't shout, but that speak to you. Nephrite jade is like that. With its soft and deep green, it seems to contain the calm of an ancient forest, the serenity of a still pond, the wisdom that only comes when everything stops. It is a gem that doesn't want to stand out, but to accompany you. Discreetly, but with strength.
We present the new pendant from the HeptaBloom collection with nephrite. A stone to return to balance. Let's be there.
Nephrite Jade: Peace, Protection and Well-Being
Nephrite is a silicate of calcium, magnesium and iron.
As you well know, iron is essential for the human body: bones, teeth, blood clotting, nerve transmission. For its part, magnesium is related to muscle relaxation and the nervous system, and iron is strength, endurance and vitality.
This is probably why nephrite jade is known for its calming and protective properties. For centuries, it has been considered a sacred stone in China, where it is believed to have healing and spiritual properties. It was a symbol of purity, long life, and inner wisdom.
It is said that nephrite promotes emotional balance, mental serenity and physical well-being. It is a stone that cares. That envelops. That helps to release tension and reconnect with the essential calm that lives within us.
A gem connected to nature
The green color of nephrite is not just any green. It is a vivid, organic green, with nuances reminiscent of leaves, herbs, roots. Its cool and soft touch conveys an immediate feeling of serenity.
It is a stone that invites you to listen to your own rhythms. To turn down the noise. To listen to your body. To breathe. To make space for what is essential.
Legends and beliefs: the stone of harmony
In many ancient cultures, nephrite was considered a stone of connection with the universe. The Mayans and Chinese revered it as a bridge between the earthly and spiritual worlds. It was used as a protective amulet and as a talisman of health and wisdom.
In the ancient East, it was more precious than gold, and was given as a symbol of respect, esteem, and good wishes. Wearing a piece of it was a way of saying, “I wish you peace, fulfillment, and a long and happy life.”
A gem cooked at a low temperature
Nephrite is a variety of jade, and is formed in areas of the Earth where there is medium pressure and moderately low temperatures, especially in areas where tectonic plates collide. It is formed by a combination of minerals rich in calcium, magnesium and iron. This formation process – called metamorphism – is slow and gives rise to a very compact and resistant structure: nephrite, a precious gem ideal for working in jewelry due to its hardness.
