DETAILS & CARE

Jewelry Care
Crafted from natural aromatic materials, each piece is handmade and may show slight variations in texture and color — a reflection of its unique character, not a defect.

Care Instructions
* Keep dry. Remove before contact with water (washing, showering, sweating).
* Avoid impact and friction with hard objects.
* Keep away from chemicals.
* Store in a dry place, ideally in the provided pouch.
* Handle with care.

If exposed to water, gently pat dry and air dry naturally. Do not use heat or direct sunlight.

About the Scent
Made from 100% natural aromatic materials, the scent is soft and subtle. Over time, it may gradually fade with air exposure — this is natural. To revive the scent, store it in a sealed environment for a period of time.

Natural Variation
Each piece is handcrafted. Minor cracks, texture differences, or color variations may occur over time — these are natural characteristics and part of its evolving beauty.

Wearable fragrance — the incense beads breathe with your body temperature. Everyone wears it differently. A thousand people, a thousand variations.
Hills Between draws from Zen aesthetics of negative space while embracing futurist experimentation. They source agarwood, sandalwood, natural botanicals, and medicinal herbs from the mountains. Nine traditional incense-making steps: harvesting, grinding, sifting, mixing with clay, resting, shaping, air-drying. Ten days to two weeks. Intangible heritage craft. They blend ancient techniques with avant-garde metalwork. With wear, it develops a unique patina — different for everyone. Mountain soul on your wrist, a scent sculpture carved by body and time.
This blend draws on jasmine, longjing tea, sandalwood, and agarwood. Inspired by a tea garden at dawn — jasmine unfurling like lingering dew, tea's brightness with hints of bitterness, sandalwood grounding it, agarwood closing deep and lingering. Clarity, elegance, stillness — an unhurried walk, letting your heart settle with each step.

 

*The Craft of Traditional Incense Blending
Following the rituals outlined in the Ming Dynasty’s Treatise of Incense, we refine the raw materials through seven days of Jiao Cang （窖藏） to condense the energy of nature and triple-steaming-and-sunning to eliminate impurities. Each incense bead is kneaded by artisans and air-dried naturally for 216 hours to develop a warm,jade-like amber patina—this is not only a revival of intangible cultural heritage but also a practice of the philosophy that “objects evolve with life.”
Over time, the fragrance beads grow with the wearer, gradually absorbing body warmth and personal stories, becoming vessels of lived time.
