Built around jade, the piece begins with a smooth, subtly translucent stone with a fine internal grain. Beside it, the textile cord is a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface, so the piece reads in two registers at once. It takes the form of a band built around a centre detail, and it belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes. The Buddha motif is rendered as a seated figure in shallow relief. It is drawn from Buddhist visual tradition and gives the design a composed, symmetrical centre; its meaning sits with the wearer rather than in any promised outcome.
The materials do not age at the same rate, and that difference is worth setting out. Jade is a different case in wear: it is tough and forgiving in daily wear, and the surface takes a gentle sheen with handling. Inside the piece, the textile cord is a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. Handled often, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
One configuration is listed — Jade Ripple Ring — and that is the piece confirmed from the current photographs. The strand comes in seven bead sizes, US5 (16 mm) through US12–13 (22 mm). Anything not visible in the photographs is answered against the actual piece before you decide. The contemplative theme is a wearer’s reminder; no effect is claimed for the material itself. Because these are natural materials, expect small differences in colour and pattern between the photo and your piece. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Avoid impact at thin edges and keep it away from household chemicals; a soft dry cloth is enough. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Remove it before a shower or a swim, and dry it fully if it does get wet. Wipe it after wear, store it dry and away from direct sun, and it will need very little else.
