Art Deco Jade Necklace Carved Clasp Certified Untreated

About the Item

This Art Deco jadeite jade necklace features 29 11mm tender, young green Burmese jadeite beads, each of which was hand-carved and polished without the use of electricity or modern polishing aids. Jade beads of this size are uncommon. They have the softest and most luxurious polish; not a piano shine like modern jade but rather a silky polish that feels amazing next to the skin. A carved plaque depicting peaches is securely set within an engraved silver frame and serves as the clasp. The necklace measures 17 inches. The carved plaque and the beads themselves display natural stone grain and fissures: these are not cracks but rather inherent qualities of the stone. This light, fresh green color was enormously popular throughout the Art Deco era. This also happened to be the era of increased trade with China and a fascination with all things Chinese. So a necklace in the most coveted shade of green, made from the most Chinese of all Chinese gems: jade. This would have been a necklace to silence a room when you entered. Even though the beads are opaque, they retain a mystical translucency, which nearly gives them the illusion of resting just above the surface of the skin. It is an exceptionally fine example of this style of necklace with a carved plaque clasp. The necklace has been freshly restrung on a sturdy white silk cord and it ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the jade is 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...

Chinese Antique Jade Necklace Near Colorless Certified Untreated, Restrung
Located in Southbury, CT
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...
