Hetian Jade Plaques: Carved Stories in Chinese Nephrite
Hetian jade plaques are flat Chinese nephrite carvings that frame landscapes, figures, calligraphy and auspicious motifs. Some are worn as pendants and others are displayed, so confirm the size, weight, carving depth and suspension opening before deciding how a piece will be used.
Look at both sides and the edge in daylight. Clean borders, balanced relief and a scene that works with the colour of the stone matter more than a long list of claims. Yufu Jade can share dimensions and close-up photographs from several angles for comparison.
What to look for
Plaque wear and display reference
Plaques are described by height, width and thickness. Under 40 mm usually wears as a pendant when a suspension opening is confirmed; larger plaques are displayed. Ask for both faces and the exact millimetre dimensions.
| Plaque size | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Under 40 mm | Worn as a pendant |
| 40 - 80 mm | Pendant or desk display |
| Over 80 mm | Display piece |
The final use depends on the confirmed suspension and dimensions of the individual plaque.
Common questions
Can a jade plaque be worn as a pendant?
Only when the plaque has a confirmed suspension opening and a wearable size. Ask Yufu Jade whether the individual plaque is made to wear or to display.
How is the carving quality judged?
Look at both faces, the edges and the relief under raking light. Clean lines, balanced composition and a finish that suits the stone matter more than the number of details.
What subjects are common on jade plaques?
Landscapes, figures, calligraphy and auspicious symbols are the classic subjects. The confirmed subject of each piece is described before it is published.
Do plaques need a display stand?
Display plaques usually benefit from a stand. Confirm whether one is included or can be arranged for the individual piece.
