About the Item

Created by hand between 1910-1920, this 21" strand of natural, untreated, Burmese jadeite jade possesses an ethereal, luminous beauty. Though they have been classified as "pale green to near colorless" in the gem lab report, each bead is has its own subtle tone. True, from a distance the beads read as white. But then, step into the shadows and their subtle tones are liberated. The tones are there in the light, too: it's just that sometimes looking isn't enough; you need to look but you also need to see. I think this is a spectacular strand for the subtlety of the tone and the quality of translucence. I've used low light to shoot them, so that you can see how gorgeous they are i the lowest of light. The sixty-two 7.3mm 8.5mm beads have been freshly restrung and a new 18K Japanese clasp has been added. But the beads retain their magical old-school polish. Because they are newly strung, they don't yet drape properly. They will in time; you'll notice each time you put it on, its drape is more elegant. It's a beautiful, classic, high-quality necklace. The necklace ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the jade is natural, untreated jadeite from Burma (Myanmar).

Bright Apple Green Jadeite Jade Necklace Certified Untreated
Located in Southbury, CT
Bright, and filled with light, this radiant Art Deco era (circa 1920s -1930s) necklace is composed of 107 hand-carved and polished natural and untreated Burmese jadeite jade beads. The beads range in size from 4.13mm to 9.38. Overall, the beads are a bright, fresh spring green. I would say "pea green" but that sounds so awful. In truth, the beads are the color of those hard and shiny peas that you see when you crack open the first pod of the season. But these beads are also genetically gifted: they contain little patches of shockingly perfect imperial green, deep forest green, and even a green so faint it reminds me of light green velvet rubbed the wrong way so that light reflects off where you stroked your finger over the velvet and the green velvet is now whiter. Yes, go ahead and say it: the necklace deserves a finer clasp. But does it? This clasp is original to the piece. It was made by hand in the early twentieth century. It's silver and once it was gilt. It's a clasp I've seen on many jade and beaded necklaces from this period and I find the humble nature...
