Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.

Characters
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
A cut stone worn for its beauty. Chinese has no single character for gemstone, and the prestige stone here is jade.
Before you commit
Choose with careNo single character means jewel. 珠 is a pearl or a bead and a gemstone is 寶石, so a lone 珠 will simply be read as pearl.
At small sizesTen strokes with the jade radical on the left. Open enough to stay clear at small sizes.
Cultural noteJade outranks diamonds and coloured stones in Chinese esteem, and it is judged by translucence and touch rather than by sparkle.
Meaning
Pearl; a bead or any small round gem.
Specifically round - a pearl first and a bead second.
Other characters for “jewel”
What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
