The jade material itself costs about ¥3,000 extra. Normally, if you order, the material and engraving cost will be over ¥13,000.

Jade has been used since ancient times as a health amulet. If you attach a string, it becomes a strap. If you attach a necklace cord and wear it around your neck, you can use it as a personal health amulet. If you wish, we will attach either cord. This jade seal is a product developed by our store, so it is made by polishing each piece of material one by one, so the size and shape are slightly different. The engraving is a work of art created by skilled engravers who hand-write the seal characters with care. Because it is impossible to create the exact same shape and design twice, it is also ideal as a bank seal. (Currently, most commercially available round seals are machine-carved, so if you engrave the same character on the same diameter material, the seal face will be almost the same.) The seal script font is from the Qin Shi Huang era of China, about 2,300 years ago, and is said to be the most beautiful font. Seal engraving is a work of art, so the design of the seal face involves techniques such as tapping in addition to carving, and the jaggedness and subtle chipping of the seal face characters and frame are part of the design and are not defects. This feature has an excellent anti-counterfeiting effect, so it is often used as a bank seal. Please purchase after understanding the history and traditional techniques of seal engraving. ★For bank seals, library seals, pottery, calligraphy, painting, illustrated letters, etc.★ Size: Approximately 3.47cm * 1.26cm * 0.74cm
