Jade is a stone with a long memory. Prized in Chinese tradition for thousands of years as a stone of purity, calm, and protection, it has been worn close as a companion rather than simply an ornament, and it carries that same quiet presence today. Jade has traditionally been associated with peace, clarity of mind, and emotional balance, and each variety brings its own character to a piece, from the soft, milky translucency of white jade, which keeps light within rather than throwing it back, to the cool tones of blue water jade.

Every piece here is handcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier, with each stone chosen for its own character and shaped by hand into a piece that exists only once. Because no two jade stones are alike in tone or form, the collection will grow slowly and deliberately, each addition a one of a kind work made to be worn close and kept for a long time.
