Jade Necklace Translucent Salt & Pepper, New, Certified Untreated 28"

About the Item

I've never seen jade that looks like this: highly translucent, a metallic smoky platinum color with black flecks suspended within. It reminds me of what we now call "salt and pepper diamonds." New and unworn, the necklace measures 28" inches in length and is composed of 108 6.7mm highly translucent metallic-colored natural and untreated jadeite jade beads. The strand is finished with a 14k white gold ball clasp set with tiny, tiny diamonds. Exotic, utterly unique, fascinating and beautiful, this necklace is just captivating. I can't imagine anybody will have any idea what it even is. Yet like fine jade, it looks gorgeous in all light. As if it contains light itself. Along with those peppery flakes. Ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the beads have been waxed with paraffin. Wax is historically (and certainly today) the only acceptable "treatment" for jade. Some lapidary artists like the one who created these beads love the extra-smooth texture the wax creates. In time it will wear away, but you can always wax them again yourself if you like.
