Built from 10mm jade beads matched for size before stringing, this strand sits evenly on the wrist and reads as one continuous run of colour.
The colour runs creamy white through to deep emerald green. Jade is exceptionally tough rather than hard — interlocking fibres let it resist breaking, which is why it can be carved in such fine detail.
Each bead is polished to a smooth, even finish that catches the light without reading as plastic. Because this is cut from natural stone, expect subtle variation in tone, translucency and internal texture from bead to bead — no two strands are identical, and that is the point.
Jade has been worked in China for several thousand years and in Mesoamerica for longer still. The two distinct materials, nephrite and jadeite, have both been traded across continents.
Jade has been the most valued material in Chinese decorative arts for several thousand years, where it is traditionally associated with integrity, refinement and longevity. Green material remains the most sought after, and jade pieces are frequently passed between generations.
Wear it solo as a quiet everyday piece, or stack it with contrasting textures and tones. The weight makes it comfortable across seasons.
Care is simple: a soft dry cloth after wear, and storage out of prolonged direct sun. Keep it away from perfume, household chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
Traditional meanings and colour associations are offered for interest and for the pleasure of the story only. Each piece is natural stone, sold as jewellery, and no claim of any kind is made about its effect on the wearer.
