The material is clean and free from cracks or impurities, with a subtle golden sugar hue on the top of the skull that adds a touch of natural uniqueness.

Featuring a skull design—a bold and niche motif—the carving demonstrates the skill of a master artisan. The lines are smooth and full, the form balanced, and the piece incorporates refined openwork carving. This level of craftsmanship is far beyond the reach of apprentice work and reflects a deep understanding of jade artistry.

In traditional perception, skulls are often associated with death, fear, and darkness—seemingly in stark contrast to the jade carving tradition that values auspicious meanings, fine craftsmanship, and symbolic beauty. Yet, like all things, skulls carry dual meanings. Beyond their darker associations, they also embody a deeper, more philosophical significance.

In modern dark aesthetics, the skull is a timeless symbol—mysterious, bold, and emotionally powerful. It has become a favored subject in fashion and art, representing a confrontation with mortality and a deeper reflection on the impermanence of life.

The skull motif is not without cultural roots in Eastern philosophy. In the Taoist classic Zhuangzi, there's a famous passage where Zhuangzi dreams of a skull, which expresses joy in death and a desire not to return to the burdens of life. This parable reflects Taoist views on life and death as part of a unified whole, emphasizing detachment, natural flow, and freedom from worldly suffering. In Tibetan Buddhism, skulls are commonly used in ritual instruments, symbolizing the transient nature of life and the wisdom of emptiness.

Rarity & Value
Qiemo jade is among the rarest and most valued nephrite jades, as its mines have been 
largely depleted in recent years. The extraction process, often involving explosives, 
leads to significant internal fractures, making high-quality raw material even scarcer. 
Additionally, only a small fraction of mountain jade meets the standards for fine 
craftsmanship, as most of the material lacks the desired density and texture.

For collectors and connoisseurs, Qiemo jade represents the pinnacle of nephrite 
quality. Once you've experienced its unparalleled oiliness and richness, no other 
jade compares.

Warm white is an ambiguous description; it's a color that hovers between white, 
gray, and blue-green, or even yellowish

★ Please Note 

★Natural Characteristics & Minor Imperfections:
Natural nephrite jade inevitably exhibits natural imperfections, such as inclusions, 
cottons, and waterlines. High-quality jade has fewer flaws, but no piece is absolutely 
perfect. Minor imperfections may arise from the raw stone itself or from the processes 
of mining, cutting, and carving. These natural marks contribute to the jade’s 
authenticity and uniqueness.

★Size & Weight:
Please carefully review the size and weight details before placing your order. If you 
need a reference for comparison, feel free to contact me.

★Color Variance:
Camera settings and screen displays differ from the human eye. Variations in color 
may occur depending on background and lighting.

★Polishing Types:
Jade can be finished with either a semi-glossy or a glossy polish. Semi-glossy 
polishing is less reflective than glossy polishing, though this does not affect the 
jade’s quality. High-quality jade develops a richer luster with wear. We select 
the polishing method based on the variety and characteristics of each jade piece.

天然且末白和田玉，手工雕刻骷髅吊坠，骷髅头顶带一点点黄糖，料子非常油润，细腻，密度高，无杂无裂，小众题材，但是非常考验雕刻师傅的功力， 这个吊坠不仅仅品质匪巢，雕刻工艺也非常的精湛，线条流畅，饱满，加上镂空工艺，在玉石上雕刻这种工不是简单的学徒工可以做到

在人们传统印象中，头骨常被视为死亡、邪恶、血腥和恐怖的象征，似乎与玉雕中“雕必有工、工必有意、意必吉祥”的理念格格不入。然而，世间万物皆有两面，头骨所承载的意义亦不全为负面。在暗黑美学中，骷髅是一种永不过时的艺术符号，深受设计师与艺术家的喜爱，代表着对生命本质的深刻凝视与反思。

庄子曾言“天地与我并生，万物与我为一”。在道家的哲学中，生死只是宇宙循环中的一个阶段，万物皆归于道。骷髅，正是这种哲学观念的象征：它代表着死亡，同时也象征着一种超越与自由。

这件选用高品质且末白玉雕刻而成的骷髅吊坠，白度纯净、质地细腻，既融合了东方哲思中对生死的超然态度，也承载着现代暗黑美学的独特审美。佩戴它，既是一种风格表达，更是一种内在精神的体现。
