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 meets avant-garde metalwork. Hills Between draws from Zen aesthetics of negative space while embracing futurist experimentation, blending traditional incense craft with contemporary metal design and adding a touch of whimsy — a protective pendant shaped like a worn pencil stub.
Agarwood, sandalwood, natural botanicals, medicinal herbs. Nine traditional incense steps from harvest to air-dry. Ten days to two weeks. Intangible heritage craft. With wear, it develops patina — different for everyone.
This blend features agarwood, sandalwood, borneol, and quince. Agarwood deep, sandalwood rich — calming the spirit. Borneol sharp, quince clear — clearing turbidity. Cool at first sniff like night dew, warm on closer attention like jade in your palm. A breathing, changing incense jewel. Wear it, and time completes the rest.

 

*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.
