The Beijing Organizing Committee of the 29th Olympic Games officially published the pattern of Beijing 2008 Olympic medals on March 27th¸ 2007¸ whose main characteristic is the combination of gold and jade. The penholder of the Olympic gold and jade pen is made of 100g Xinjiang Hetian jade¸ while the waist circle and top is made of 6g gold with a 99.9% purity. Besides¸ the waist circle is inlaid with the five Olympic rings and Beijing 2008 characters¸ and the pen point is molded in 18K gold. It can be deemed as the king of pens because of the harmonious mix of gentle and elegant jade as well as noble and domineering gold.
Hetian jade¸ the best in jade¸ has always been the favorite of both emperors and common people. The white jade has a very high value. At the same time¸ it is endowed with human characteristics and becomes an embodiment of Chinese temperament instead of being merely a natural treasure. The modest¸ natural and graceful jade will attract people´s attention wherever it is found. The gold¸ as the international coin¸ has always been the first collection choice throughout history. The Olympic gold and jade pen gathers the natural essence and integrates gold and jade in its design¸ which is elegant¸ graceful and has a strong Chinese flavor. As a perfect combination of Chinese cultural classics and the Olympic spirit¸ the traditional culture and modern technology¸ it fully represents the concept of ´Hi-tech Olympics¸ Humanistic Olympics.´
The Olympic gold and jade pen has a limited circulation. Authorized by the Beijing Organizing Committee¸ the quantity is limited to 9¸999 sets in the world¸ so as to guarantee the high quality of every pen. Every set has a separate serial number and is attached with a special bar code anti-counterfeiting label for the Olympic products¸ which is issued by the Beijing Organizing Committee and made with the most advanced laser anti-counterfeiting technology.
