In the jade world, there is a type of jade that looks super simple—the square pendant. The jade square pendant is a square jade ornament with a simple and elegant shape, highlighting the capable temperament of the wearer. But such a bare piece of jade was once auctioned at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan! Don't you believe it? Look at the picture below! Imperial green square plaque (4.79cmX3.2cmX1.45cm, 92.90g), transaction price: RMB 103.5 million Why can such an ordinary brand be sold at such a high price? Don’t think it’s because of the three words “Imperial Green”. Imperial Green Jade is indeed valuable, but it’s not worth this much! Come and see why! The jade square pendant is also called the Wu Shi pendant. As soon as you hear this name, you know that there must be a deep meaning behind it! Nothing means no decoration, there are no overly complicated carvings on the jade plaque. Therefore, the jade plaque borrows the meaning of "peace and safety". "Safe and sound" means everything is safe and sound and everything goes well. The original origin of the safe and sound plaque is from the jade plaques carved by Lu Zigang, a master of jade carving in the late Ming Dynasty. One of the jade plaques had no decorations at all, so it was named the Peaceful and Sound Plaque, which is a homonym of "no decoration", and means to ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters, and be safe and healthy. In addition, the "Jade Peaceful Pendant" is smooth and complete, without cracks or streaks, and without any decorative carvings, implying a safe and fulfilling life, and also implies that "plainness and simplicity" is the true meaning of life. There is another name for the Wu Shi Pai - 461. The reason why it is called 461 is that this number represents the size of the Wu Shi Pai, which is 4cm wide, 6cm high and 1cm thick. The specifications and sizes of Wu Shi Pai are appropriate and just right. They come in rectangular, round and oval shapes. The delicate and heavy texture is a major feature of Wu Shi Pai. The large jade tablet is not carved to show its beauty in its quality. Good materials come naturally. The carvings on the peace and safety pendant are only more than the bracelet and ring face, and the material itself is also good. Most jade pendants do not have any patterns on them. The materials used are extremely exquisite, and the absence of patterns can better highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the material itself. As the price of jade raw materials continues to rise, jade carving masters have created peace amulets in different shapes in order to maximize their value. Nowadays, in addition to the traditional Wu Shi Pai, there are also many Wu Shi Pai that are engraved with auspicious patterns or designs. At first, card painting appeared to remove flaws or avoid cracks. Later, people found that painting on cards could better display art and meet personal needs (some people like landscapes, figures, animals, etc.), but there has been a change from simple to complex! Today's jade pendants are divided into the pendant head (the top part, which can be carved with mythical beasts, flower branches, etc.), and the pendant painting occupies the largest volume and can be simple or complex (generally based on the material or personal preference, but it must echo the meaning of the pendant head). It is also because there is not much good material nowadays. In order to maximize the value of many jades with minor flaws, the masters can only remove the dirt and hair and add some patterns. This also makes the truly good stuff without patterns more valuable! Therefore, the smooth square jadeite plate at the beginning could be auctioned for such a high price! Of course, there are many good jade pendants now, and different patterns have different meanings. There are so many styles for you to choose from. I wish you can find the jade square pendant that suits you best!
