Women's Prayer Beads, Lavender Jade, 7mm Bead, Matching Style

Women's Prayer Beads, Lavender Jade, 7mm Bead, Matching Style

This lavender jade is Burmese jade that has been dyed to a soft lavender tone. In recent years, natural Burmese jade has increasingly trended toward paler, whitish greens, while richly colored Burmese jade can command prices in the hundreds of thousands of yen; the lavender jade featured here is dyed from that paler stock, offering an elegant colored alternative at a more accessible price. Jade has been prized in Japan since the Jomon period, when it was worked into magatama beads and other ornaments; sometimes called the 'emerald of the Orient' for its rarity, it has been treasured as a noble ornament since ancient times. Jade has also been beloved across many cultures throughout history, with notable varieties including Indian jade, Itoigawa jade from Japan, and Burmese jade from Myanmar – each with devoted admirers worldwide. Only one piece is available.
