Introduction

Bone Carving

Bone carving is an ancient art form that uses bones as its medium, boasting a long and storied history. In the Neolithic Age, our ancestors, despite their rudimentary tools and harsh living conditions, used local materials to create these works of art. Though simple and unadorned, these early bone carvings embody a profound reverence for ancestors.

As history unfolded, bone carving evolved from practical daily necessities to intricate decorative items. Early humans used bones to make needles and knives, and carved words and patterns onto bones, showcasing their ingenuity and creativity.

Bone carvings are widely recognized as auspicious objects, believed to attract wealth, good luck, protection from evil, and safety. They are said to bring blessings, prosperity, career success, love, happiness, educational achievements, and all other forms of good fortune. This tradition is not only well-known among the local people of Tibet but is also admired by people around the world.

 

Jade Carving

At XKCHIEF, we also specialize in jade carving. We source jade from all over the world, but we take particular pride in our collection of China's flower jade. Each jade pendant we create is unique, featuring distinctive patterns and rich colors. Every jade carving product is one-of-a-kind, hand-finished to the highest standards.

Our jade carvings highlight the elegance and beauty of jade, reflecting New Zealand's diverse landscapes and rich culture in a unique form through the appearance of multiple flower jades. While most jade jewelry on the market consists of green jade carvings, which can become monotonous over time, our pendants are crafted from beautiful and colorful jade. The use of richly colored jade combined with the culturally rich characteristics of New Zealand Maori artistry creates a truly unique product.

Our jade artworks are meticulously crafted with a focus on artistic craftsmanship, offering a timeless way to connect with jade. We assure you that wearing our products will provide you with a distinctive and enriching experience.

Each piece is a testament to Kyle's dedication and skill, carrying with it the legacy of an art form that transcends time.
