Men's Prayer Beads, Burmese Jade, 22 Beads, Limited Edition

Men's Prayer Beads, Burmese Jade, 22 Beads, Limited Edition

This piece is crafted from high-quality Burmese jade, distinguished among Burmese jades by its notably deep color and solid luster – the two traits that define top-tier quality in this material. Prized for its rarity, jade has long been called the 'emerald of the Orient' and used as a noble ornament since ancient times; in Japan it was fashioned into magatama beads as far back as the Jomon period, valued both for its beauty and its hardness as a material for tools. In China, jade has been considered among the most valuable of all gemstones, long treated as a symbol of status. Jade is also the birthstone for May, believed to ward off misfortune, promote balance of mind, and support healthy metabolism; its stone meaning of 'health' makes it a popular gift for those wishing someone well. Only one piece is available.
