The All-New Bliss of Harvest Rings: Temple of Earth Edition

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 11 June 2021

11 June 2021_Banner

Marking a period of joviality, abundance and success, the Summer Solstice falls on 21 June this year. 

In celebration of 490 years of Summer Solstice Celebrations at the Temple of Earth this June, Imperial Harvest proudly unveils our All-New Bliss of Harvest Rings: Temple of Earth Edition. 

Featuring two exquisite designs inspired by the intriguing architectural footprint of the Temple of Earth, this tributary collection pays homage to the Ming and Qing Dynasty’s Summer Solstice traditions. 

With extreme attention to detail, each ring band comprises a unique combination of several finishes - matte, satin and mirror. Polished by hand to perfection, the All-New Bliss of Harvest Rings: Temple of Earth Edition are designed to make an everyday statement. 

Ring 1: BOH4901

11 June 2021_BOH_Diamond Tile 1

Singapore Design Patent No. 30202109344X

Featuring an exquisitely guilloched hobnail pattern known in the design world as the Clous de Paris, the All-New Bliss of Harvest Diamond-Tiled Jadeite Cabochon Ring strongly resembles the roof of the Temple of Earth. With small pyramid knobs, a regular four-sided pattern congruous to the Temple of Earth’s diamond-shaped roof is elegantly evoked.   

Hand-polished to perfection, each ring boasts a satin-brush and mirror-polish contrast. With a matte rim and meticulously textured bas-relief inspired ring band, the All-New Bliss of Harvest Diamond-Tiled Jadeite Cabochon Ring is perfectly symmetrical when viewed from any angle. 

Designed to an exacting precision, each ridge of the ring displays an intriguing effect of metallic reflectiveness. A visual symphony is created as light hits the ring at different angles, creating impressions of depth, luxurious lustre and dynamic movement. 

A tasteful fusion of East and West, each ring pays homage to the balanced architectural structure of the Temple of Earth through the Western technique of manual guillochéing. This process is time-consuming and requires utmost focus - each ring’s satin engravings are of the exact same depth and consistency. 

At Imperial Harvest, experienced guillochéurs engineer the guilloching process manually. To achieve top consistency in each ring, the guillochéur personally rotates and orientates the ring - by applying various amounts of pressure to advance the ring against a customised cutter, each engraving is chiseled onto the ring methodically. Any unsteadiness in the guillochéur’s movements can cause unevenness and inconsistencies in the ring band. 

Dedicated to delivering only the best, Imperial Harvest perseveres with the manual guillochéing process despite its time-consuming nature. Today, the art of manual guillochéing is deeply endangered in the world of contemporary luxury - only a few brands such as Patek Philippe remain devoted to this practice.

Ring 2: BOH4902

11 June 2021_BOH_Square Tile 4

Singapore Design Patent No. 30202109346Q

Boasting a distinct hand-crafted square-tiled surface, the All-New Bliss of Harvest Square-Tiled Jadeite Cabochon Ring is strongly reminiscent of the Temple of Earth’s square-themed architecture layout. 

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, The Temple of Earth was patronised yearly by the reigning emperor during the Summer Solstice. An elaborate worship ceremony with sacrificial offerings to the God of Earth was believed to bring about a year of bountiful harvests for the kingdom. 

Inspired by rites and rituals during the Summer Solstice, the All-New Bliss of Harvest Square-Tiled Jadeite Cabochon Ring pays homage to the Temple of Earth as a sacred site of worship. Resonating deeply with the Chinese philosophy of “天圆地方” (literally translated into “Round Sky, Square Earth”), the ring features a smooth and luminous jadeite cabochon sitting as the centre-piece on the exquisitely square-tiled ring band. 

To achieve the contrast between the ring band’s matte square-tiles and rim’s high-shine mirror finish, a skilled engraver carefully uses a burin to create the granular surface overlaying each individual square tile. The final result - a fine, granular finish in sharp distinction from the ring’s glossy rim - is achieved with a technique known as tremblant engraving. Attentively applying the burin in multiple different directions, an expert engraver is able to achieve a natural tile texture on the surface of the fine metal he is working with. 

Additionally, the eight pairs of angular protrusions along the ring band are emblematic of the sturdy pillars supporting the Temple of Earth’s elaborate structure. With a high shine mirror finish, they epitomise with a modern flair the Temple of Earth’s strong and unyielding architectural formation. 

Devoted to design excellence, Imperial Harvest continuously fuses design inspirations and jewellery techniques of the East and West, innovatively creating Imperial Feng Shui treasures fit for daily wear in our cosmopolitan society.

490 years of Summer Solstice Celebrations at the Temple of Earth

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 04 June 2021

Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins

New BOH Ring_Introduction-Banner

This year, the Summer Solstice falls on 21 June, marking the peak of Summer. 

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, generations of emperors patronised the Temple of Earth to offer sacrificial offerings to the God of Earth annually. It was believed that such ritual worship during the Summer Solstice would usher abundance, prosperity and growth into the kingdom.  

Temple of Earth_Summer Solstice_1

The Temple of Earth’s construction was completed in the 4th Lunar month of 1531. During the 5th Lunar month of 1531, Emperor Jiajing conducted the first ever Summer Solstice ceremony to worship the God of Earth for optimal rainfall and bountiful harvests in autumn. 

Green Bliss of Harvest Ring_Summer Solstice

In 2021, Imperial Harvest is proud to present the All-New Bliss of Harvest Jadeite Rings: Temple of Earth Edition to commemorate 490 years of Summer Solstice celebrations at the Temple of Earth. 

The Temple of Earth 

Temple of Earth_Summer Solstice 2

The second largest of Beijing’s four temples, with a long legacy of Chinese dynastic history since the Ming Dynasty, the Temple of Earth is one of China’s most important historical monuments. 

Covering forty hectares worth of space outside of Beijing’s second ring road, the Temple of Earth also interacts spiritually with the Temple of the Moon (月坛), Temple of the Sun (日坛) and Temple of Heaven (天坛). 

Together, the four temples form the quarternity of sacred sites for ritual worship by the reigning Emperors of China.

Adherence to Imperial Feng Shui principles 

The locations of Temple of Heaven and Temple of Earth are determined based on the arrangement of Early Heaven Ba Gua. 

According to the Early Heaven Ba Gua, the Qian Trigram, representative of Heaven, is located in the South while the Kun Trigram representing Heaven is located in the North. 

Hence, the Temple of Earth (地坛)’s location in the north of Beijing pays homage to Earth’s association with the north direction.

Fangze Temple - the Main Architectural Complex in Temple of Earth

Fangze Temple_Summer Solstice

The main temple altar, the Fangze Temple, was designed for the offering of sacrifices to the God of Earth. 

Covering almost 18,000 square metres, Square in shape and circled with water channels, the Fangze Temple is emblematic of the Chinese belief of “天圆地方” (literally translated into “Round Sky, Square Earth”). 

Today, the water channels are drained, but remain symbolic of the Temple of Earth’s status as a sacred site of prayer for bountiful harvests. 

Every single one of the Temple of Earth’s main buildings are uniformly circled with square walls, true to Imperial Chinese tradition. 

All-New Bliss of Harvest Rings: Temple of Earth Edition

A homage to the magnificent architecture of the Temple of Earth, the All-New Bliss of Harvest Rings are exquisite works of wearable art that captures Master David’s progressive conventionality.

Design notes: Hand-crafted square-tiled surface strongly reminiscent of the square-themed Temple of Earth - the second largest Imperial Altar historically used for worshipping and performing sacrificial offerings to the God of Earth. 

A skilled engraver carefully uses a burin to engrave the square tiles with a technique known as tremblage, giving the surface a fine, granular finish.

Tremblage engraving is a technique where the burin is applied in multiple different directions to achieve the natural tile texture.

Design notes: Featuring a guillochéd hobnail pattern also known as Clous de Paris. The small pyramid knobs with a square base bears strong resemblance to the roof of the Temple of Earth. Hand-polished to create an immaculate satin-brush and mirror-polish contrast. 

The guillochéur, personally engineers the process by turning the cranks of the tools to rotate and orientate the ring, while applying various amounts of pressure to advance the ring against a cutter for it to be cut and to determine the depth and consistency of the engravings. This process is both very time-consuming and requires utmost focus. Even the slightest wobbling of the hand will desecrate the ring.

Today, the art of manual guilloché is endangered in contemporary watchmaking, only being preserved by a few brands such as Patek Phillipe.

Ushering in Wealth with the Imperial Harvest Crystal Collection

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 28 May 2021

Estimated Reading Time: 5 mins

Summer Crystals_Banner

Prior to the Summer Solstice’s grandiose celebrations, the auspicious season of Mangzhong begins. This year, Mangzhong spans from 5 to 21 June. 

In ancient China, farmers sowed their seeds for the upcoming harvest during Mangzhong. This practice was in accordance with Mangzhong’s rainy climate. Linked by a belt of weather swinging over the Yangtze River (扬子江) middle and lower reaches, the monsoon season was especially crucial for farmers. Perfect for the growth and blossoming of young crops, the rains were integral to successful harvests. 

Naturally, Mangzhong became an important period for ancient Chinese civilisations. Farmers viewed it as the season of diligence, tenacity and prosperity. It was widely believed that rigorous efforts during Mangzhong would be rewarded with bountiful harvests during autumn harvests. In fact, Mangzhong (芒种, literally translated into “Grain in Ear”) was and still is frequently punned into Mangzhong (忙种, literally translated into “busy planting”) by Chinese farmers. 

In a modern day context, Mangzhong is when the metaphorical seeds of prosperity can be sown for the season. For this very reason, Mangzhong is affectionately known as the season of new beginnings. It is when the old is washed away and willingly forgone in anticipation of the new. A season of hope, Mangzhong symbolises the dawn of immense growth and new beginnings. 

Summer Crystals_Bamboo

To commemorate this season of growth and auspiciousness, Imperial Harvest presents our Imperial Harvest Crystal Collection. In Imperial Feng Shui tradition, crystals are precious activators of the water star. Imperial Harvest-grade crystals are the authentic method for activating the water star position to usher in wealth and prosperity. 

Installing the Imperial Harvest crystal in the auspicious water star position will empower you with opportunities, benefactors and intuition to achieve breakthrough results in your career, business, sales and investment. 

Designed personally by Master David and hand carved from single blocks of internally flawless crystals, the Imperial Harvest Crystal Collection exhibits the finest clarity, vivid colour and expert craftsmanship. They embody the traditions of Imperial Feng Shui where only the rarest and finest crystals are used to activate the water star in your home, office, hotel or shop. 

Mangzhong’s intimate connection with rain renders it an ideal season for acquiring Imperial Harvest Crystals to activate the auspicious water star. Playing a vital role in adjusting and enhancing the Qi (气) of one’s surroundings, Imperial Harvest crystals, blessed on an auspicious date and time by Master David himself, empower their owners to thrive with multiple growing streams of income. This further coincides with Mangzhong’s prominence as a season of growth, anticipation and prosperity. 

Imperial Harvest Ox Crystal 

Summer Crystals_Ox

In ancient China, far before the days of automated agricultural technology, farmers relied heavily on oxen to plough land before sowing season during Mangzhong. A symbol of confidence, power and determination, the ox was respected in Chinese dynastic culture for its integral role in the agricultural industry. Treasured farm animals, oxen were prized highly and cared for tenderly by their owners. 

Summer Crystals_Oxen Painting

In fact, one of China’s most distinguished paintings is the “Five Oxen” by Han Huang from the Tang Dynasty. Meticulously preserved in the Beijing Palace Museum today, the skilfully executed painting exhibits the Chinese’s utmost reverence for the ox. While China’s economy is no longer grounded in agriculture, the Chinese’s admiration of the ox and the values it stands for remain strong. 

Summer Crystals_Wall Street Bull

Today, symbols of the ox as an embodiment of strength and motivation remain widespread. On top of being rooted heavily in Chinese culture, the symbol of the charging bull also features prominently on Wall Street. A Bronze sculpture standing on Broadway, it is a symbol of unyielding financial optimism.

Naturally, following its iconic status on Wall Street, home to the world’s two largest stock exchanges, the symbol of the ox has also found its place in the world of finance, trade and investment. Bull markets, in line with how oxen are positive symbols of growth, are welcome indicators of a strong economy. 

Blog_270521_Summer Crystals_Ox

The Imperial Harvest Ox Crystal, inspired by the ox as a positive embodiment of continuous growth, breakthroughs and prosperity, is designed to usher wealth into its owner’s home. Symbolising auspiciousness, abundance and achievement, it encourages immense growth during Mangzhong, a season of new beginnings. 

Imperial Harvest Bamboo Crystal 

Under the dual influence of intense heat and monsoon rains during summer, bamboos thrive. Embodying the spirit of continuous growth, evergreen prosperity and consecutive successes, the bamboo is a symbol of immense wealth, luck and perfection.  

Summer Crystals_Bamboo Painting

In China, the tradition of bamboo painting is widely respected. Guan Daosheng, a female poet, calligrapher and artist from a prestigious family in the Yuan Dynasty credited with being a prominent figure in the history of bamboo painting. Bestowed with the title of “Madam of the Wei Kingdom”, Guan was a talented and devoted artist who brought newfound grace and beauty to the portrayal of bamboo. Wed to the equally high-ranking Prince Zhao Mengfu, Guan is known for using light and graceful brush strokes with calligraphy ink to capture the elegance of bamboo. 

Summer Crystals_Bamboo

A tribute to the beauty and resilience of the bamboo, the Imperial Harvest Bamboo Crystal is a tasteful re-imagination of the bamboo painting tradition. Designed to inspire success, the luxurious crystal is an elegant silhouette of bamboo’s ladder-like structure. Resemblant of the corporate ladder many strive to ascend, it represents the steps leading to success and consecutive promotions in the modern world. 

Blessed on an auspicious date and time by Master David Goh himself, the Imperial Harvest Bamboo Crystal aids its owners in achieving never-ending breakthroughs – at work, at school and at home. 

Imperial Harvest Crystal Hulu

Summer Crystals_Hulu Crystal

The hulu (葫芦), otherwise known as the Chinese gourd, is a symbol of auspiciousness, abundance and everlasting fortune. Its pronunciation in Chinese closely parallels that of 福禄 (fu lu), which means “happiness, prosperity and authorial power”. The hulu’s gourd vines are referred to as 蔓带 (wan dai), whose pronunciation is similar to 万代, meaning “ten thousand generations”. Together, 福禄万代 forms an auspicious saying suggesting “wealth, prosperity and fortune for ten thousand generations”. 

Furthermore, the hulu’s shape is often said to resemble the unification of the Heavens and Earth. With the top of the gourd respected as a symbol of Heaven and the bottom, a symbol of Earth, the hulu is emblematic of wholeness, completion and harmony. Embraced by humans, the hulu represents synchrony between humanity, Earth and the Heavens. 

Summer Crystals_Hulu

In traditional Chinese culture the hulu is further revered as a symbol of good health, longevity, harmony, wealth and continuous growth. It is known to protect its owners from bad omens while blessing them with success, elevation and fulfilment. A holder of precious things, the hulu is closely associated with infinite potential, exponential growth and breakthrough success. 

Summer Crystals_Hulu

Paying homage to the famous symbol of the hulu, the Imperial Harvest Hulu Crystal is an exquisite reimagination of the traditional icon. The precise cut of each Hulu Crystal, carved from single blocks of internally flawless crystals with the highest possible clarity, honours Imperial Harvest's legacy of meticulous craftsmanship and design excellence. An intricate work of art, the Imperial Harvest Hulu Crystal is designed to usher in wealth, prosperity and realise the unlimited potential of its owners. 

With the specially curated Imperial Harvest Crystal Collection, individuals and their families are able to challenge boundaries, scale new heights and experience astounding breakthroughs.

Mangzhong: New Beginnings with Imperial Harvest QING Collection

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 21 May 2021

Estimated Reading Time: 2 mins

Mangzhong_New Beginnings

The auspicious season of Mangzhong precedes the Summer Solstice's grandiose celebrations, spanning from 5 to 21 June. 

《月令七十二侯集解》:“五月节,谓有芒之种谷可稼种矣。” 

The 72 Pentads (月令七十二侯集解) is an ancient Chinese calendar system which depicts the subtle changes in Nature over the four seasons. It achieves this detailed periodicity by dividing each year into 72 five-day segments, hence its name. 

According to the 72 Pentads, May is the optimal time for the sowing of seeds. As autumn arrives in summer’s wake, bountiful harvests are reaped in preparation for winter––a result of diligence, rigor and tenacity during Mangzhong. 

Heralded as the proper coming of summer as temperatures rise consistently, Mangzhong is an auspicious time of new beginnings, growth and breakthroughs.  

QING Collection_Pendant

Ref No. IHQ4126

To commemorate Mangzhong as an auspicious occasion of new beginnings, Imperial Harvest presents our magnificent QING Collection, inspired by the Qing Dynasty's regal jewellery collection.

The Imperial Harvest QING Collection pays tribute to the fashion and philosophy of the Qing Golden Age. Simultaneously, it expresses the natural beauty of three precious materials - gold, jadeite, and diamonds.

Our brilliantly cut diamonds which adorn the collection are a modern interpretation of the beads characterising Qing Dynasty's tasteful imperialist fashion. Like the beads, the elegant fluidity tangible in the design of our QING Collection represents everlasting longevity and prosperity.

Like the farmers sowing their seeds during the Mangzhong festival, each Jadeite cabochon resembles an elegant motif of the seed and inspires its wearer to embark on a new journey of growth and success. 

QING Collection_Ring

Inspired by Imperial Rites and Rituals, Imperial Harvest designed and commissioned five gemological cuts of Imperial Harvest jadeite cabochon.

Summer: The Season of Abundance

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 14 May 2021

Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins


2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-Banner

In both past and present Chinese culture, summer is widely regarded as the season of abundance, auspiciousness and achievement. 

Regarded as the most Yang (阳) season in the eternal Yin-Yang (阴阳) cycle, summer is closely associated with passion, growth and brightness. The season harnesses a deep, intense energy to fuel breakthroughs. 

It leads eventually to the Summer Solstice, a time of exhilaration, prosperity and growth. 

Mangzhong (芒种): The Promise of Blessed Harvests 

Prior to the Summer Solstice, the auspicious season of Mangzhong begins. 

In ancient China, this was the period where farmers sowed their seeds for the upcoming harvest. In a modern day context, it is when the metaphorical seeds of prosperity can be sown for the season. This is in apt accordance with Mangzhong’s rainy climate––perfect for the growth and blossoming of young crops. 

For this very reason, Mangzhong is affectionately known as the season of new beginnings. It is when the old is washed away and willingly forgone in anticipation of the new. A season of hope, Mangzhong symbolises the dawn of immense growth and new beginnings. 

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-1 

In celebration of Mangzhong, the Imperial Harvest QING Collection boasts a groundbreaking design with sophisticated originality. The Jadeite cabochon, resemblant of a seed, complements the modern wearer. Simultaneously, it blesses them with the benefits of Imperial Feng Shui. With greater power, wealth and authority, every individual’s unlimited potential can be realised. 

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-2

To commemorate the joyous season of Mangzhong, the Imperial Harvest Crystal Collection ushers wealth and prosperity into its owners’ households. By activating the water star (direct and indirect wealth sectors), Imperial Harvest crystals empower their owners to thrive with multiple growing streams of income. Mangzhong’s intimate connection with rain renders it an ideal season for the acquisition of Imperial Harvest Crystals. With their assistance, individuals and their families are able to challenge boundaries, scale new heights and experience astounding breakthroughs. 

A season of reinvention and growth, Mangzhong is a jovial period of both celebration and diligence. 

Summer Solstice (夏至): Ritual Offerings at The Temple of Earth

Each year, celebratory summer festivities peak during the Summer Solstice. 

Historically, court officials, farmers and commoners alike seized the Summer Solstice as a golden opportunity to worship the God of Earth. The God of Earth, known in Chinese as 土地公 or 大伯公 (Tua Pek Gong), also governs direct wealth (正财).

In particular, consecutive generations of the royal family were devoted patrons to the God of Earth. Esteemed rulers of ancient Chinese dynasties, their reverent worship ignited great wealth, amity and abundance for their people. 

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-3

The God of Earth, a wealth god, is a highly popular deity in the pantheon of celestial beings. A benevolent deity, he blesses his devotees with bountiful harvests each summer.  

The God of Earth’s prominence was amplified significantly during the Ming Dynasty, during which numerous sites worshipping him were specially commissioned by several emperors.

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-4

A highly erudite ruler, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty commissioned the building of the Temple of Earth in 1530. Located in the north of Beijing, the Temple of Earth pays apt homage to Earth’s association with the north direction. Its square-shaped architectural footprint also is also intricately interwoven with the Chinese belief “天圆地方” (literally translated into “Round Sky, Square Earth”). 

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, emperors would ascend the Temple of Earth to worship the God of Earth. Conducted with flair every Summer Solstice, their ritual offerings guaranteed an upcoming season of exuberance and plenteousness for the agricultural industry.

Emperor Qian Long of the Qing Dynasty was a wise individual who recognised the utmost importance of ritual worship. A strong believer of Imperial Feng Shui, Emperor Qian Long regularly donned fine white jadeite, in accordance with his favourable Metal element. Annually, he ascended the Temple of Earth with grandiose prayers for the God of Earth. With premium Agarwood and Sandalwood beads, he would solicit the God of Earth’s blessings for a year of prosperous harvests. His dedication accounts for why the Qing Dynasty enjoyed tremendous wealth, harmony and prosperity like no other under his reign. 

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-5

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-6 (1)

Agarwood is revered as the King of scented wood while Sandalwood is revered as its Queen. In Imperial Feng Shui, the former expands direct wealth capacity while the latter improves indirect wealth capacity. Direct wealth capacity is associated with income potential achieved through career progression, business deals, sales and other regular sources of income. Contrastingly, indirect wealth capacity refers to the income potential derived from investments, trading and other infrequent income sources. 

Imperial Harvest’s premium Agarwood and Sandalwood collections celebrate the tradition of ritual worship during the Summer Solstice. They pay tribute to the God of Earth for his benevolence, attracting similar prosperity to their wearers. 

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-7 (2)

In tribute to the ritual worship of the God of Earth, Imperial Harvest simultaneously exhibits our Five Wealth Gods Collection. The God of Earth, known by his numerous titles, also governs direct wealth (正财). Widely worshipped, he attracts powerful benefactors for his devotees. 

In Chinese history, there are five wealth gods, responsible for the stewardship of five different arenas of wealth: career, business, investment, trading and windfall. These Wealth Gods are the most powerful manifestations of auspicious luck in Chinese culture, and are an essential collection for those aspiring to alter their luck for the better to achieve breakthroughs and successes. 

Bliss of Harvest (圆满豐收): A Respected Tradition 

Ancient Chinese dynasties depended heavily on agriculture for a stable source of livelihood. Naturally, this meant that bountiful harvests were received with utmost gratitude. A successful harvest heralded the colder seasons with plenteousness, prosperity and luck. 

2021_May_Summer_The Season of Abundance-8 (1)

Master David thoughtfully celebrates the significance of century-old Summer Solstice traditions and histories by presenting his newly designed Bliss of Harvest Rings. Inspired by the complex and unique architecture of the Temple of Earth, the Bliss of Harvest Rings are exquisite works of wearable art. With great reverence towards the Temple of Earth, they are designed to encourage wealth, abundance and success. 

Join us in commemorating this season of growth, prosperity and joy!

2021 Qinan Collection

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 07 May 2021

Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes

Imperial Harvest presents our exquisitely hand-crafted 2021 Qinan (奇楠) Agarwood collection.

所谓 “三世修来善因缘,今生得闻奇楠香”

Qinan is the most elusive tier of Agarwood. Many Agarwood connoisseurs often believe that an individual can only experience the heavenly scent of Qinan after three lifetimes of meritorious deeds. 

Its rarity and value have been highly prized since the Han Dynasty, when Du Fu, one of the most famous poets of the era wrote "山租输海贝,市舶贱迦楠". This means “Like a sea shell outweighing the rental income from a mountain, a single piece of Qinan Agarwood is worth more than a municipal ship.”

The Imperial Harvest 2021 Qinan Agarwood collection exhibits the five alluring tiers of premium Qinan:

(1)    White Qinan 金丝白奇楠 

(2)    Green Qinan 莺歌绿奇楠 

(3)    Purple Qinan 紫奇楠 

(4)    Yellow Qinan 黄奇楠 

(5)    Black Qinan 黑奇楠 

Each precious piece of Qinan Agarwood is meticulously hand carved with auspicious designs to enhance its natural beauty and power.

Black Qinan (铁结黑奇楠) Mystic Knot

Resin pattern: When sliced open, distinct streaks of black resin reveal themselves on the Black Qinan Agarwood’s surface. Glistening and glimmering, they resemble the elegant glamour of a tranquil night sky.

Scent characteristics: The Black Qinan Agarwood exudes comforting notes of herbal and botanical fragrance. This gentle aroma refreshes and invigorates the soul.

Aging and Maturation: More than 1250 years

Black Qinan Mystic Knot

The mystic knot is the sixth of eight auspicious symbols in Buddhism. Religious scholars have proposed that the mystic knot was presented to Buddha when he first attained enlightenment. Indeed, the mystic knot is found engraved on the sole of Gautama Buddha’s feet, as well as on the chest of the supreme hindu deity, Vishnu. 

Also found inscribed on clay seals from the Indus Valley Civilisation (circa 2500 B.C.E.), the mystic knot symbolises the powerful ability to overcome adversities. Since ancient times, peoples across the Asian region have regaled it as an emblem of prosperity and fortune. Today, Imperial Harvest Feng Shui, alongside Buddhists, Jainists, Hindus and even the Celtics, regularly feature the mystic knot in our blessed Treasures. 

Black Qinan Mystic Knot

Coupled with the auspiciousness of Black Qinan Agarwood, the mystic knot manifests opportunities for its ambitious wearers. Adorners of the Imperial Harvest Black Qinan Mystic Knot are blessed with abundant auspicious luck and mental clarity. Their sharpened intuition empowers their career progression. Simultaneously, it shields and protects them from setbacks and adversities. 

Exquisite Yellow Qinan (金丝结黄奇楠) Lingzhi

Resin pattern: When revered in all of its grandeur, the Yellow Qinan Agarwood reveals a full-bodied honey-coloured resin lining which resembles luscious golden silk. 

Scent characteristics: The Yellow Qinan Agarwood boasts a sophisticated fragrance. Its top note resembles that of amber with hints of cinnamon. Its middle note is full-bodied yet tender, with a calming floral scent. Finally, the bottom note concludes with an alluringly aromatic spice and smokiness reminiscent of well-aged cognac. 

Aging and Maturation: More than 1500 years

Exquisite Yellow Qinan Lingzhi

Lingzhi is one of the most auspicious motifs in Imperial Feng Shui. As the fungi’s shape resembles the head of ruyi sceptres, it is associated with the ruyi and its meaning of 'everything as you wish it'.

In ancient China, it was widely believed that Lingzhi would be discovered when a virtuous ruler was guarding the throne. It was a highly coveted and welcome sign that an empire would be peaceful and prosperous. 

Needless to say, this rendered the Lingzhi highly popular with Chinese emperors. When the Lingzhi was discovered during Emperor Wudi’s reign of the Western Han dynasty, he wrote poems in its praise, declared an amnesty for all prisoners, and donated food and wine to a hundred households. 

The Lingzhi’s association with prosperity was also borne out during the Han Emperor Wudi’s 54 year reign, since it is one of the longest in imperial history. 

Exquisite Yellow Qinan Lingzhi

Similar to how the discovery of Lingzhi symbolised blessings from the heaven for the Chinese rulers, Imperial Harvest Yellow Qinan Ling Zhi (金丝结黄奇楠灵芝) blesses the wearer with long-lasting success, opportunities and benefactors at every stage of their business, career, investment and trading ventures. 

Fine Purple Qinan (精品紫奇楠) Imperial Dragon

Resin pattern: A slice through the Purple Qinan Agarwood reveals a reddish-purple resin that meanders elegantly and intricately throughout its entire body.

Scent characteristics: The Purple Qinan Agarwood touts a robust aroma. Its top note emanates a smooth and subtle floral scent which makes for a delightful first impression. This lighter scent develops and matures into a graceful almond-like mastic aroma. 

Aging and Maturation: More than 2000 years

Since the early days of ancient Chinese history, the Imperial Dragon has been highly revered as the most auspicious emblem of wealth, power and authority. The Imperial Dragon is respected as the greatest divine force on earth.

According to ancient Chinese legends, the powerful and well-respected Yellow Emperor (黄帝) achieved immortalisation as a dragon at the end of his reign. This enabled and facilitated his honourable ascent to heaven. 

In line with the famous myth, Chinese emperors were often referred to as the glorious "descendants of the dragon” as they venerated the Yellow Emperor as their distinguished ancestor. This accounts for the presence of the dragon motifs on the Emperor’s robe, throne and throughout the imperial palace. 

Fine Purple Qinan Imperial Dragon

In a similar vein, by meticulously carving the Imperial Dragon motif onto Purple Qinan Agarwood of magnificent quality, the Imperial Harvest Fine Purple Qinan Imperial Dragon is an emblem of prosperity and success. It empowers its wearer in all aspects of life, blessing them with utmost wealth, power and authority in all endeavours. 

Green Qinan (绿莺歌) Laughing Buddha

Resin pattern: The surface of Green Qinan Agarwood is a dark blueish green. This is a result of its rich and dense resin being infused with agarwood fibre. The interior cross-section of the Green Qinan Agarwood, when sliced open, features a tasteful blend of yellow-green Qinan resin.

Scent characteristics: The Green Qinan Agarwood harnesses three heavenly tiers of distinct scent: refreshing, honey-like and mastic. The three distinct scents, when intertwined, create an olfactory symphony of distinct aroma with every whiff. 

Aging and Maturation: 2500 years and above

Green Qinan Laughing Buddha

The Laughing Buddha with a big belly is a symbol of the future Buddha, referred to as Bodhisattva Maitreya. Etymologically, “Maitreya” is derived from the Sanskrit word maitri, which means benevolence, amity, goodwill and kindness. With a widespread influence across the Asia Pacific region, from Vietnam and Japan to India and China, the Laughing Buddha’s image of limitless compassion is a powerful symbol. It is emblematic of everlasting joviality, abundance and auspiciousness. 

Described as in a state of constant meditation, the Laughing Buddha is a figure of Nirvana. In Nirvana, deemed the final goal of Buddhism, suffering ceases to exist. Mind, heart, body and soul are unified in peace and tranquility, with the individual released from all cycles of suffering. Liberated and enlightened, an individual who has attained Nirvana is in an eternally idyllic and abundant state. 

Green Qinan Laughing Buddha

The Imperial Harvest Green Qinan Laughing Buddha, an elegant infusion of culture and Imperial Feng Shui, blesses its wearer with the eternal joy and prosperity of the Laughing Buddha. It attracts and manifests opportunities sought after by the wearer, bestowing them with fortune and happiness. Furthermore, it also inspires the sustenance of a positive and groundbreaking mentality.  

White Qinan (金丝白奇楠) Guan Yin

Resin Characteristics: The presence of active tissues in the White Qinan Agarwood creates a strong contrast between its active fibres (white-brownish patches) and dark resins. A minute incision on the White Qinan Agarwood’s surface reveals a dark and rich Agarwood resin underneath its white exterior. Over time, the incised area will heal, restoring its signature White Qinan Agarwood surface. 

Scent characteristics: The White Qinan Agarwood possesses five heavenly tiers of fragrance. Its aroma develops from cooling to honey-like, thereafter taking on a mastic note. It eventually exudes a refreshing floral and fruity scent. Each fragrance tier is distinctive, diffusive and strong without being overbearing.

Aging and Maturation: 3000 years and above

White Qinan Guan Yin

In East Asian tradition, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is more commonly known as Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy). Instead of being a male figure, she is the female spiritual embodiment of compassion and mercy. 

The 33 manifestations of Guan Yin are known to bestow her devotees with bountiful luck and groundbreaking growth. They promote and elevate success in multiple endeavours, regardless of their nature.

Naturally, it is for this very reason that East Asia is scattered with a countless number of temples dedicated to Guan Yin. Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang and Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple in Singapore are frequented as cultural icons by tourists, and as sanctified sites of worship by a massive number of devotees. 

The Heart Sutra, attributed largely to Guan Yin, was developed by Master Xuanzang (602-664 A.D.), a Chinese scholar and monk with ministerial ancestors during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Erudite and deeply introspective, he recognised the merits of Guan Yin as a powerful source of strength and transformation. 

White Qinan Guan Yin

At Imperial Harvest, we similarly recognise the wisdom, kindness and power of Guan Yin in effecting positive changes of fate. The Imperial Harvest White Qinan Guan Yin endows its wearer with the capacity to forge their desired destinies.

Imperial Harvest Stories - Hideyoshi

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 27 April 2021

Estimated Reading Time: 3 mins

Blog_270421_IHS_Hideyoshi

Hideyoshi is a site management associate at a US clinical research company. 

In 2018, he was working as a research nurse in a local hospital while studying his Masters part-time. Life was hectic and stressful as he had to juggle between the two. 

Prior to his visit at Imperial Harvest, he had consulted several Feng Shui masters but seen no tangible breakthroughs in his life. Hence he decided to consult Master David after being referred by a friend. 

“Prior to my visit at Imperial Harvest, I had the experience of consulting and meeting different Feng Shui masters. So I was really impressed with Imperial Harvest’s level of professionalism and customer-centric approach.” 

Fine Lavender Jadeite Ammonite of Fortunes

Hideyoshi was prescribed with the Fine Jadeite Ammonite of Fortunes to assist him in achieving career breakthroughs. 

A chain of positive changes soon followed after he acquired his first Imperial Harvest treasure. Not only was he coping a lot better academically, he was also presented with more opportunities to propel his career forward. 

In May 2019, he was headhunted for his current role which was what he had always wanted to pursue. On top of that, he was offered a pay raise and an attractive remuneration package. 

After witnessing the improvement in his career, he decided to get his second Imperial Harvest treasure; a bracelet that consists of a mixture of Agarwood and Sandalwood beads in 2019 to boost his direct and indirect wealth capacity for his career and investments.

In the same year, he had his home Feng Shui evaluated by Master David and acquired his first Imperial Harvest Crystal (Golden Toad) to activate the auspicious water star sector which governs wealth and prosperity.

In March 2020, he acquired his fourth Imperial Harvest treasure, the Fine Jadeite Cabochon Ring with diamond to usher greater wealth and career breakthroughs.

Subsequently in January 2021, Hideyoshi returned to have a review session with his consultant, Erika, where he shared his current concerns and goals. With her recommendation, Hideyoshi acquired the Imperial White Inkstone to activate the authority sector of his house. 

Blog_270421_IHS_Hideyoshi_White Inkstone (2)

In April 2021, he achieved another career breakthrough as he received a letter of promotion which caught him by surprise.  

"This is a very rare opportunity for someone who is relatively new to the company as it takes a few years for someone new to the company to receive promotion in a short time. I am very proud of my achievements and would like to thank Erika and Imperial Harvest for your support and guidance over the years." - Hideyoshi

Imperial Harvest Stories - Desy

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 26 March 2021

Blog_210325_IH Stories Desy_Desy

Desy is a serial entrepreneur whose business interests span food supply, healthcare supply and franchise management. Today, her businesses are growing faster than ever. This is a far cry from 2018, when she was struggling to keep her toy business afloat. The turning point in her business came when she consulted Imperial Harvest.

At Imperial Harvest, Desy met our senior consultant, Jowel. 

“Personally, I think Jowel is a very good consultant. During our first consultation, he shared with me the philosophy of Imperial Feng Shui, my chart’s insights such as my favourable elements and auspicious colours. It was a very insightful session.” - Desy 

In December 2018, Desy acquired her first Imperial Harvest treasure, the Fine Jadeite Lavender Grand Wealth God. Soon after wearing her first Imperial Harvest treasure, she began to experience a series of positive changes in her life. 

Fine Jadeite Lavender Grand Wealth God

She saw an uptick in her benefactor luck and was presented with many new opportunities, one of which was a major driver in helping her to pivot to the food supply industry. 

During her review session in January 2019, Desy decided to acquire the Imperial Harvest Agarwood to expand her wealth capacity. In the short span of 10 months, she managed to secure several contracts with major F&B franchises around the region and grow her business rapidly.

Imperial Harvest Agarwood

In October 2019, she invited Master David to audit her house Feng Shui and installed the Imperial White Ink Stone at the direct wealth sector to boost her power and authority. Shortly after, she was given the opportunity to be the ingredient supplier of a multi-billion dollar fast food chain. 

Imperial White Ink Stone

In December 2019, she acquired the Imperial Harvest Money Bag crystal in a bid to support her business expansion plans. One and a half months later, she hatched a new idea and decided to start an online healthcare business. The online business picked up momentum within two weeks of operations.

“Despite the circuit-breaker period in Singapore, my online business continued to operate without any hiccups and generated high profits every month. I am really amazed by the power of Imperial Harvest Treasures.” - Desy  

In July 2020, Desy went on to acquire the Exquisite Jadeite Ring to supercharge her wealth capacity. Most recently in January 2021, she was invited to join a leading supermarket chain in the region as a supplier.

To her delight, she was not the only one who benefited from her Imperial Harvest treasures as her daughter also topped her school cohort and was offered a scholarship to read her diploma even though she was only in secondary two. Heartened by the results, she recently added the Qian Long Jadeite Mountain to activate the benefactor sector of her house.

“My journey with Imperial Harvest has been very fulfilling. I am happy to see my business growing year after year. I have enjoyed a fruitful and happy working relationship with Master David and Jowel. With the companion and blessings of my Imperial Harvest Treasures, I believe there are no limits to what I can achieve.” - Desy

Imperial Harvest QING Collection

Posted by Imperial Harvest on 24 March 2021

The Qing Golden Age under Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong was the most prosperous era of China’s dynastic history. Under their wise and benevolent rule, there was a flourishing in arts, culture, architecture and innovation.

The Imperial Harvest QING Collection is inspired by this age of unparalleled prosperity.

Rise of Cosmopolitan Art and Architecture

The Qing emperors were themselves often skilled in painting and calligraphy, and became influential patrons to traditional art and Confucian culture. The Qianlong Emperor famously wrote thousands of poems during his lifetime, and owned a vast collection of art from China, Europe, Japan, and India.

It was also during this time that a dialogue between the artistic styles of east and west began, under the encouragement of the emperors. Italian missionary Giuseppe Castiglione arrived in China in 1715, and served as a court painter under the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong emperors.

Castiglione adeptly applied his western training to the prevailing tastes, creating a new innovative style of court painting. He became so respected that he was even appointed as an official of the third-rank by the Emperor.

The Qianlong Emperor’s taste for a harmonious fusion of Eastern and Western artistic styles would eventually find its way into royal architecture. In 1747, the Emperor commissioned Castiglione for the design and construction of the Western-Style Palaces in the imperial gardens of the Old Summer Palace with assistance from other Jesuits such as Jean-Denis Attiret.

He also commissioned the French Jesuit Michel Benoist to design a series of timed waterworks and fountains complete with underground machinery and pipes for the amusement of the imperial family.

The Evolution of Qing Imperial Jewellery

Before Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong, Qing imperial jewellery served the sole purpose of blessing the wearer with safety, good fortune, and longevity. This was achieved through the use of auspicious motifs and natural materials.

To reinforce the superiority of the imperial family, Qing imperial jewellery would incorporate aspects from other ethnic groups into their Manchu traditions. This meant the use of precious gold, gemstones, jewels, and woods to create traditional yet visually diverse Manchu motifs. Dong pearls were particularly favoured as they came from the ancestral homeland of the Manchus.

From the time of Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong, the jewellery of the Qing Court became increasingly lavish, fashion-focused and started to take on an east-meets-west aesthetic. Whilst jewellery pieces produced for Imperial Rites continued to adhere strictly to traditional Imperial  standards, fashionable jewellery for Manchu women began to evolve and incorporate Western jewellery techniques such as lapidary, enameling, and inlay.

blog_230321_manchu woman

Gold was a favoured material as a glimmering representation of money and prosperity. Jewellery pieces were often adorned with precious gemstones.

The use of natural materials and the pursuit of elegance led to graceful curves and fluid compositions, exemplified by the deceptively simple rosary. It was common for Qing men and women to wear long prayer beads. Each bead, crafted from precious wood, was perfectly round. Yet with other beads, they form an endless loop that gracefully hung around the neck, representing the nature cycle of life.

Imperial Harvest reimagines Qing Imperial Jewellery with the launch of QING collection.

Imperial Harvest Jadeite Cabochon is inspired by Imperial Rites and shaped by Western Lapidary

Inspired by Imperial Rites and Rituals, Imperial Harvest designed and commissioned five gemological cuts of Imperial Harvest jadeite cabochon.

1. Octagon

blog_240321_octagon cut new

5.Octagon-Cut Jadeite-pandant

Imperial Harvest’s patented octagon-cut jadeite cabochon boasts eight iconic chamfered edges, paying tribute to the Eight Trigrams (Bagua). Just as the Eight Trigrams are building blocks of the Chinese civilization, this stunning design by Master David empowers the wearer to be the architect of their own future and the master of their own destiny.

The study of the Eight Trigrams is carefully documented in the Book of Change - an important classic revered through the ages. The Eight Trigrams were applied extensively in the development of architecture, traditional Chinese medicine, Feng Shui, philosophy and martial arts. “Early Heaven” Bagua was used in the planning of the locations of the most significant sites for Imperial worships - the Temples of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon in Beijing.

2. Round

blog_240321_round cut new

blog_240321_round cut pendant new

Our round-cut jadeite cabochon is an elegantly shaped jadeite cabochon that displays the highest level of natural beauty and brilliance. It also emphasizes the translucency of the jadeite and its interaction with light.

It is inspired by the Chinese geographical philosophy of a ‘Round Heaven and Square Earth’ (天圆地方), which has influenced the design of Chinese currency (round bronze coins with square holes) and the most iconic buildings in China such as the Temple of Heaven and the Imperial Palace.

The round-cut jadeite empowers the wearer to achieve all-rounded success in their career, business, investment, relationships and health. 

3. Asscher

1082021_8.Asscher-Cut Jadeite

blog_240321_asscher cut pendant new

The exquisite asscher-cut jadeite cabochon is classically proportioned. Its multiple order of symmetry presents it with a dignified and stately presence.

It represents the Earth in Chinese philosophical tradition of a ‘Round Heaven and Square Earth’ (天圆地方). The concept of a square earth can be found in the architecture of a “siheyuan” (四合院) which formed the basic pattern used for royal palaces, religious temples, and civilian residences.

Just as the earth provides a nurturing environment for growth and progress, the asscher-cut cabochon lays a solid foundation for the wearer to achieve future success.

4. Emerald

blog_240321_emerald cut new

blog_230321_emerald cut II

Imperial Harvest’s emerald-cut jadeite cabochon features meticulously chamfered multi-tier facets within a graceful streamlined form.

In Chinese numerology, odd numbers are considered heavenly. The three tiers of the cabochon represent the three flights of steps that the Emperor ascends up the Circular Mound Altar in the Temple of Heaven during the Summer solstice to pray for blessings of rain.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Our emerald cut cabochon inspires the wearer to step up to the challenge, scale the heights in life, and reach the very top.

5. Dew

blog_240321_dew cut new

Imperial Harvest’s dew-cut jadeite cabochon represents a raindrop - the dew of heaven. It is the gift from above, the source of all life on earth.

For centuries, agriculture formed the economic backbone of civilisations. A bountiful harvest was a strong indication that the Emperor enjoyed a strong mandate of Heaven for his rule. Hence during the Summer solstice, the Emperor would pray for a blessing of rain at the Circular Mound Altar within the Temple of Heaven.

The dew-cut jadeite cabochon blesses the wearer with abundance and prosperity, every day of their life.

Imperial Harvest QING Collection design notes

Imperial Harvest QING Collection pays tributes to the fashion and philosophy of the Qing Golden Age and expresses the natural beauty of three precious materials - gold, jadeite, and diamonds.

Our brilliantly cut diamonds that adorn the collection are a modern interpretation of the beads that characterised Qing dynasty imperial fashion. Like the beads, the elegant fluidity found in the design of our QING Collection represents everlasting longevity and prosperity.
