Jade Bracelet Guatemalan Jadeite Jade, Silver, Beaded Stretch, 7" Sm-Med Size

About the Item

This 7" beaded stretch bracelet will fit small to medium hands and wrists and is composed of 28 hand-carved and hand-polished natural and untreated jadeite jade beads from Guatemala. The beads are an almost aquamarine bluish-green, and alternate between 8mm rondelle-shaped beads and round oness. All of the beads are highly translucent; almost watery. It's a tricky color to capture accurately in the studio, so I've included images taken with my phone outside in natural light and inside near a window. Seven 2.5mm wide handmade sterling silver beads are stationed along the bracelet and an 8.5mm cylindrical bead serves as a focal point. This bracelet is highly translucent and luminous. The pictures describe the tones better than I can. Jadeite has a unique crystal structure that causes it to process light in a completely unique way, with the result being luxurious luminosity, even in the dimmest light. This is no flimsy stretch bracelet like others you've come across. You'll appreciate the quality of this piece the moment you take it out of the box. It's a step (or three) up from stretch bracelets you've seen elsewhere. I use two strength-proven elastic cords, not just one. This is a durable bracelet you can wear and enjoy, without having to worry about. It possesses the authority of quality and rarity, so you could wear it alone. Remember: this is a bracelet composed of one of the rarest gemstones on earth. But it also looks great along with several other bracelets. I like to wear four at a time. Luxurious and so unique, this could become your signature bracelet if you have a medium-sized wrist. About Jadeite from Guatemala: The vast majority of jadeite comes from one location: Burma (Myanmar). Jadeite forms under highly specific geological conditions that exist in only seven or eight locations on the planet and Guatemala has these conditions. The ancient Mayan civilization knew jade well and used it for jewelry, masks and more. But like the ancient cities themselves, the jungles consumed the jade mines and knowledge of jade from South America vanished until the 1990s when small deposits were located. I've been purchasing this jadeite from the same source for many years; 100% of this material from this source that I have sent to the gem lab has returned with the same result: untreated jadeite jade. About my Beaded Bracelets: I create each of my jade beaded bracelets by hand, using natural and untreated Grade A jadeite jade or nephrite jade. The bracelets feature 24K, 18K, sterling silver, rare wood accents. Some of my bracelets feature Tahitian, Chinese freshwater, Japanese freshwater, vintage cultured saltwater Akoya and golden South Sea pearls. Although I'm not including lab certificates with these bracelets to keep the cost down, all of the jade I'm using comes from my vast personal inventory of beads, all from trusted sources I have developed over many years. I only use jade from sources who sell only 100% untreated jade. NOTE: Beads from each source have been previously tested by a gem lab and determined to be natural and untreated. I am a gemologist with advanced training in jade as well as a second-generation jade collector. I have sold hundreds of thousands of dollar's worth of the finest jade jewelry right here on 1stdibs since my store opened. I am a platinum seller with 100% 5-star reviews and many of my customers come back again and again. So even though these bracelets do not come with lab certs, I guarantee they are untreated. One of my sources uses paraffin -which is wax. Jade has been waxed for thousands of years. The other sources use no wax. But then I wax the bracelets myself when they are finished because I love the look. Once you slide this amazing bracelet on your wrist, trust me: you will never want to take it off. And you really won't ever have to. Please measure your hand and wrist. When I describe a bracelet as XL, your hands should be large enough to easily spread across an octave on a keyboard completely cover the top of the head of a Great Dane. If the bracelet is small to medium, that means it will fit most women and men who are small-boned.

Lavender Jade Bracelet, Stretch, Guatemala Jadeite, Silver, and Agarwood
By Augusten Burroughs
Located in Southbury, CT
This gorgeous 8.5" beaded stretch bracelet is composed of 21 luminous, 10mm, pale lavender natural and untreated jadeite jade beads from Guatemala. The polish on these beads is softer than it could be -jadeite is a hard stone that can shine like a grand piano. But here, the lapidary artists chose not to take the polish so high. In my opinion, this was the perfect choice because it alters the way the lavender beads hold onto light. These beads are opaque -far from translucent. And yet. Somehow, they glow. They truly do. A 12mm seafoam green natural and untreated jadeite bead -also from Guatemala- is the focal point. A pair of handmade silver beads...

Jade Bracelet Guatemalan Jadeite Jade, 18K, Beaded Stretch, 69mm, 8.75" XL Size
By Augusten Burroughs
Located in Southbury, CT
This 8.75" beaded stretch bracelet is composed of the most stunning and unique hand-carved jadeite jade beads from Guatemala. With an inner diameter of approximately 69mm unstretched, this will those with fit medium, large and XL hands and wrists. As long as your hand is larger than 69mm measured from knuckle to knuckle, it won't slide off your wrist. The bracelet is composed entirely of 28 hand-carved and hand-polished natural and untreated jadeite jade beads from Guatemala and they vary widely in both size and shape. From a 10mm x 8mm cylindrical black jade bead to an 8.15mm almost perfectly round deep emerald-green bead. Two beads are in the 16mm range and several of them have a "primitive" cut, much like the beads the ancient Mayan's would have worn. The tones here are spectacular. From a lush jungle green to the iconic bluish-green only found in Guatemala. There is yellowish green, pale mint green, teal, and emerald. Even the large opaque beads possess a luminous quality. And the translucent beads are just captivating. Three solid 18K gold 5mm beads and one thick, 11mm hand-hammered 18K gold ring complete the bracelet. It weighs a hefty 55 grams, so it's deeply satisfying on the wrist. As a second-generation jade collector, the unique jade from Guatemala has become my favorite variety of jade; my favorite gem. Burma (Myanmar) has long been the primary source for all jadeite in the world. While jadeite is found in other areas in very small amounts, none can equal the magnificence and range of colors that Burmese jade has to offer. It is among the world's most expensive gems because fine jadeite is extremely rare. Jadeite can only form under highly specific geological conditions and Guatemala has these conditions. The ancient Mayan civilization knew jade well and used it for jewelry, masks and more. But like the ancient cities themselves, the jungles consumed the jade mines...
