Chinese Antique Jade Necklace Near Colorless Certified Untreated, Restrung

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).
