Discs like these were buried with the dead in the Neolithic period and later stood for heaven itself - a circle with no beginning, no end and nothing at the centre. Because the form has no top or bottom it also came to mean wholeness and continuity, which is why it is still given for anniversaries and for people starting again.

Natural jade shows colour drifting unevenly through the body - patches, faint clouds, a slight difference between the two stones of a pair. Dye sits differently: it gathers along cracks and around the drilled edge of the hole, where it entered. Look at the rim of the centre hole in particular. These stones show natural variation.

Why is there a hole in the middle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause that is the form.

Is the jade natural?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - natural jade, with colour drifting unevenly through each disc and a slight difference between the two, as separately cut natural stones always show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. How do I look after them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm water, mild soap, a soft cloth, and a soft brush around the gold bar where it passes through the hole. Store away from harder stones - jade takes knocks far better than it takes scratches.
