White and Russet Jade Ceremonial Artifact
By Artistian Made
Located in San Diego, CA
This jade artifact features a meticulously arranged pattern of four rows of raised features which symbolize grain 谷纹 on its surface. These grain 谷纹 rise slightly, and around them delicate C-shape cloud motifs are intricately carved. The pattern, though subtle, exudes refinement and sophistication. Unfortunately, its intricacy makes it challenging to capture accurately through a camera lens.
The pattern carved on the ring can been clearly seen by referring to the diagram in the last image below. Originally, this jade ring boasted a pristine white color. However, over time, buried underground in a tomb, it underwent a transformation due to exposure to the elements—specifically, 土侵 (soil infiltration), possibly influenced by iron. As a result, a significant portion of the jade ring turned a warm orange hue, while a smaller section retained its original white color.
During the Warring States Period, jade held great significance as a ceremonial object (礼器) and symbolized high social status. Similar patterns of grain (谷纹) and cloud motifs (钩连云纹) can be observed in other Warring States Period artifacts, such as jade cups and Jade Bi, housed in the National Museum of China.
Over the centuries, calcification and the elements have worn off the glossy finish of the ring.
Note: Our light source caused some yellow hues to appear in some of our photographs. The actual piece does not have any yellow hues. The color of the piece is closer to the first image, and this Western Han Dynasty jade sword...

White Jade Mythical Beast
By Artistian Made
Located in San Diego, CA
Carved out of white and yellow-toned jade, this beautiful mythical beast rests on its four limbs like a lion in the Serengeti. Each limb is given finely-carved claws and a round pad on the paw.
On its head, one can see intricately carved teeth, nostrils, a goatee, and a mythical cloud-like pattern above its eyebrows. Notably, there is a half-dome extrusion representing a third eye positioned between the eyes. Nine ridges of the spine run along the back with finely-carved fur on each side. The three-tipped tail curls up toward the head.
Its surface is exceptionally polished with a patina. The bottom of the jade beast has multi-layered ivory-colored inclusions.
Historical References:
Compare this jade mythical beast to similar 18th century pieces from the Metropolitan Museum in New York. In this 18th century lion and cub, notice the similar shape of ears, hair and ridges along the spine, and the cloud-patterned eyebrows. The distinct ears of our jade beast can also be seen on this 18th century jade beast too. Pictures attached.
In addition, please examine this 18th century jade lion...

Black Tahitian Pearl Dutch DroogDesign 1998 Unique ThirdNipple GoldDisk Brooch
By Artistian Made
Located in Chicago, IL
In the 1990s when the Dutch collective Droog introduced international leaders of late 20th-Century functional art such as Ron Arad, Marcel Wanders, Jurgen Bey, Hella Jongerius, and Tejo Remy, the Netherlands-based brand was one of the most successful producers of conceptual design. The collaboration was co-founded in 1993 in Amsterdam by the jewelry and product designer Gijs Bakker (b. 1942), who commissioned his protege French artist Frederic Braham in 1998 to create this one-of-a-kind brooch for his young Droog-represented jewelry line "Chi ha paura...?". The Italian phrase means "who is afraid of?".
This natural satin-lustre South Sea black-Tahitian 15 x 10 mm baroque thick-nacred pearl, which is bezel-set in oxidized sterling on a sharp silver stud for push-back fastening as a lapel or tie pin, is surrounded by a removable textured gold disk brooch with the Chiapaura maker's mark, artist's signature, abbreviated year and assay symbol. Notably, while farmed pearls from this French-Polynesian region are scarce, it is rarer to find one over 12mm. This dark gray one is also exceptional for its desirable secondary tone of peacock green with minimal surface imperfections.
From normal use, the unseen back of the disk is missing chips of ecru enamel where it contacts the fastening knob. This reveals that the disk is solid gold.
Like other functional conceptual design represented by Droog, the brooch is more than a beautiful piece of fine jewelry featuring multiple contrasting elements, as it could be a provocative "third nipple" if worn on a tie or scarf. Given the Dutch origin of the brand, we recall the famous 15th-Century oil-painting by Johannes Vermeer, known as "Girl with a Pearl Earring". Who is afraid of girl or boy with a third nipple?
We acquired this brooch from a jewelry collector who had purchased it from the Italian gallery...
