Hotan Jade Pearl Necklace

Hotan Jade (Hetian jade) is a prestigious, high-quality nephrite jade from the Kunlun Mountains in Xinjiang, China, renowned as the “king of jade”. It is known for its fine texture, high hardness, waxy luster, and wide range of colors, most famously the pure, cream-colored “mutton fat jade” (Suet jade). Historically considered a symbol of imperial power, it is a key material in Chinese art and jewelry.
