Infinity Relic Australian Black Jade Pendant | Zhuang Jia
Ancient memory. Contemporary form.
With its broad base, softened corners and open centre, Infinity Relic carries the visual presence of an object that might have been unearthed from another time — yet its sculptural lines are unmistakably contemporary.
Designed by Chinese jade artist Zhuang Qingfang for the Zhuang Jia · Infinity Collection, the pendant draws on the quiet monumentality of ancient jade forms without reproducing a specific historical object.
The substantial outer silhouette is softened by flowing surfaces and a continuous opening. As the jade curves and changes plane, the distinction between front, edge and interior begins to dissolve.
Carved from natural Australian black nephrite jade from Cowell, South Australia, Infinity Relic connects an ancient material with a modern sculptural language.
A trace of the past. A form for the present.

Design Inspiration & Symbolism
Infinity Relic
A relic is something that survives time.
It carries a trace of what came before, even when its original story is no longer fully known.
Infinity Relic takes that feeling rather than copying an ancient object. Its broad silhouette and central opening recall the visual weight and simplicity of early jade forms, while its shifting surfaces bring the piece firmly into the present.
The result sits between artefact and abstraction.
It feels familiar without belonging to one particular period.
The past does not have to be repeated to be remembered.
Infinity Relic carries an echo of ancient form, then allows it to evolve through contemporary geometry.
What remains is not a copy of history, but its resonance.
Ancient memory. New form.
Why This Piece
Infinity Relic has a particularly strong sense of material presence.
Its wider lower section gives the pendant visual weight, while the opening above introduces lightness and space. This contrast allows a relatively compact piece to feel substantial without becoming heavy in appearance.
The design also reveals one of the central ideas behind Zhuang Qingfang's work: ancient references do not need to remain fixed in the past.
They can be reduced, abstracted and transformed until they speak a contemporary language.
For Australian Jade, that idea takes on another dimension.
An ancient Chinese visual sensibility is being expressed through Australian nephrite jade — bringing two very different histories together in a single contemporary object.
Use & Experience
At 32.0 × 26.0 × 8.0 mm, Infinity Relic has a compact but substantial presence.
Its broad silhouette makes it visually stronger than a conventional small pendant, while the central opening prevents the design from appearing overly solid.
The deep black jade works particularly well against neutral colours, natural fabrics, knitwear, crisp shirts and monochrome clothing.
Supplied with a silver-colour metal chain, the cool metallic finish creates a clean contemporary contrast with the black jade.
The pendant's changing surfaces also mean that its character shifts as it moves — from a simple dark silhouette at a distance to a more complex sculptural object when viewed closely.
Part jewellery. Part sculpture. A contemporary relic to be worn.

Zhuang Jia · Infinity Collection
Ancient symbol. Infinite form.
Inspired by the ancient Chinese Yu Xuan Ji (玉璇玑) and reimagined through the continuous geometry of the Möbius form, Zhuang Jia · Infinity explores the idea of movement without beginning or end.
The ancient Xuan Ji looked towards the heavens; its form evokes celestial movement, cycles and humanity's enduring desire to understand the unknown.
Zhuang Qingfang reduces this ancient visual language into flowing contemporary geometry — removing complexity while preserving its philosophical core.
Carved from Australian jade, each piece becomes a meeting of ancient Chinese thought, modern mathematical form and an ancient Australian stone.
No beginning. No end. Infinite possibility.
Australian Jade — Ancient Stone. Modern Spirit.
