Naia Zhang · Where Jade Breathes
Her creations are dialogues with jade - revealing the quiet glow within every stone.
Through Lingqi(灵气), she transforms minerals into companions of calm, meaning, and life.
From a Sketch to a Calling
ART JAD began not in a studio, but in Naia’s sketchbook - a quiet space where thought met intuition.
Born and based in Chengdu, Naia grew up fascinated by painting and the secret life of stones.
While the market prized symmetry and shine, she was searching for something that breathed.
Her first drawing - jade embraced by pearl and emerald - was an instinctive attempt to give the stone a pulse, to let materials speak to one another.
Over the years, Naia’s Chengdu studio has grown into a beloved creative space(featured by LV City Tour Chengdu) with a devoted following - a place where craftsmanship and emotion meet.
That small sketch became the seed of her philosophy of Lingqi (灵气) - the belief that true beauty is not added, but revealed.
Inspired by the Eastern idea of Lingqi - the belief that every creation carries a living spirit - ART JAD crafts jadeite jewelry that moves with life itself, breathing with the wearer.
From a Suzhou garden - where stone, water, and shade breathe in quiet rhythm - arises a ring that captures the moment between stillness and bloom.
In its reflection, time folds into calm light.
Bespoke Story -The Bloom of a Dream
Every bespoke story begins with a feeling -not a sketch, but a quiet wish waiting to take form.

Each petal was sculpted to breathe, to hold light, to remember touch.

We begin with listening. Every piece of jadeite carries its own rhythm - a quiet landscape shaped by time and light.
We carve to reveal, not to impose. The hand moves with the stone, finding calm where nature and intention meet.
Each work is slow-made and one-of-a-kind. Its glow shifts with the wearer - this is Lingqi, the living link between maker, material, and soul.
Inside the Chengdu Studio
Tucked away on a quiet street in Chengdu, Naia’s studio is a reflection of her world - serene, grounded, and alive with detail.
Surrounded by bamboo and old roof tiles, it’s a place where tradition meets imagination.
Every jewel begins here, shaped not by trend, but by the rhythm of the craftsman’s breath.
Stillness · Spirit · Flow
Lingqi - the unseen spirit in every detail.
