About the Item

This gorgeous and utterly unique 18" necklace is composed of fifty-two 8mm hand-carved natural and untreated nephrite jade beads. If you think "spinach green" when you hear nephrite jade, that's not surprising. Most people don't realize that nephrite jade -like its rarer and pricer cousin, jadeite jade, comes in a wide range of colors. From colorless white "mutton fat" found in the North Western mountains of China, to burnt-orange, black, red, yellow, and yes, green. Even I, a certified professional gemologist and jade specialist -and sec ond-generation jade collector- did not know that nephrite jade was also found in this remarkable aubergine color. Yes, a little eggplant go to with your spinach. Although this specific necklace has not been sent to the gem lab and does not ship with a certificate, beads from this same lot were tested when they were used to create a different necklace and the gem lab was delightfully surprised, as they had not yet encountered this strikingly unusual color. They determined this color to be entirely natural. These are hand-carved beds and as such, you will see slight irregularities between each individual bead, but we love this, as it makes each bead entirely special and unique. Perfectly suitable for anyone of any gender, this striking, gorgeous jade necklace is brand new -with the beads freshly strung on the highest quality ndeep red German silk cord. As such, the necklace is "tight" and will not drape perfectly until the weighty beads are allowed to hang and stretch the cord. Give the necklace two or three weeks and it will drape fluidly and last for many years until needing to be restrung on fresh silk. A 14k yellow gold clasp set with two tiny .01 carat natural, earth-mined diamonds completes the strand.
