[About the Turquoise-Inlaid "Apple Orchard"]
This pair represents the absolute pinnacle of Wenwan collecting, where natural beauty meets masterful artisan jewelry. The base variety is the Ping Guo Yuan, or "Apple Orchard," globally beloved for its flawlessly round, plump silhouette and incredibly smooth, frictionless ridge patterns.
Elevating this pair to museum-grade status is the bespoke artisanal modification at the base. The natural navel of each walnut has been carefully hand-fitted and seamlessly inlaid with a vibrant turquoise gemstone. As the natural walnut shell oxidizes and develops a deep, translucent crimson patina over time, the brilliant blue-green of the turquoise will provide an increasingly striking, luxurious color contrast, creating a true, one-of-a-kind heirloom piece.
[Characteristics of MDXZ-01]
- Bespoke Turquoise Inlay: The custom gemstone inlay requires masterful precision to ensure a flush, seamless fit that will not disrupt the rolling experience. This brilliant addition adds a deeply spiritual, premium aesthetic that sets this pair completely apart from standard collections.
- Flawless 1:1 Proportion: Measuring exactly 40.0mm on the edge and 40.0mm on the belly, this pair boasts a flawless, perfectly balanced 1:1 footprint. This elite level of symmetry ensures the walnuts sit harmoniously in the hand, providing an effortlessly smooth, seamless roll.
- Luxurious, Flowing Texture: The surface displays the continuous, softly rounded ridge patterns that define the finest Apple Orchard shells. The smooth peaks provide soothing, non-fatiguing traction that is perfect for hours of deeply relaxing, mindful rotation.
- Daily Use: The beautifully proportioned 40x40mm dimensions make this a fantastic, full-sized everyday carry (EDC) piece. It is specifically curated for the discerning enthusiast seeking maximum ergonomic comfort, perfect symmetry, and the exclusive, striking visual presence of an artisan-inlaid gem.

Incredible service, I ordered a pair that sadly could not be shipped on account of a website error. Normally that would be a red flag; in this case however, an agent reached out to me immediately, allowed me to pick out an even higher quality pair and included some very thoughtful gifts. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and what started out as a mistake will have me returning here first whenever I want to expand my collection.
Class acts!
I ordered my Wenwans about 13 days ago. After contacting this company about a shipping issue they were able to solve it immediately as well as to rush the order. Literally just got mine today and they are absolutely gorgeous and very large! My Pair# is DGM-901. These are my very first high grades ones. Bought some crappy amazon ones for like 6 bucks to practice. I cannot wait to start my journey with these. I highly recommend this company for their outstanding customer service and quality control!
Thank you!
This company is Stellar. I’ve enjoyed the products I’ve Boughten for myself and gifts Ives given.
Love that you have miniature walnuts for those of us who have small hands.
These guys a great. Walnuts are high quality, and what you see is what you get, no random pairs that you may not like.
I've got 5 pairs off of them so far, and none have any flaws: no yellowing, pin holes, worm marks or cracks.
I'm not an expert, but I can't detect any dyes or processing on the nuts I have received.
They get back to you quickly if you have questions or issues.
Shipping is a couple weeks to canada since its off shore orgin. No big deal.
I do wish they would post the weights of the pairs as well in the listings, but this is minor.
I consider Zenwalnut to be the best north american walnut vendor hands down.
The box it came with is great and well made. The walnuts are out of this world. I don’t know how you find a three ridge mutation (Spartan motif) with such a good pairing. Even the basins complement each other, one elavated and the other depressed so they fit together. I highly recommend this seller if you want a reliable place where you can find rare, high quality walnuts. What you see in the pictures and videos is what you get. These are my second pair from zenwalnuts and I love both of them, thank you
The first pair I bought was a pair of minis, Packaging was amazing! Display case, and brushes were all under $100. I've been using them for just over a week. Excellent quality, I have dropped them once on accident of course over concrete while outside on the patio. I was quite concerned, I gave them a look over and no cracks, chips, or scratches were found. I am now looking into higher valued pairs. I will be buying other pairs for birthday gifts and collections. I posted them on FB and will continue to keep updates of the transformation every so often.
