Burmese Jade Bracelet, Cylindrical Bead, Limited Edition

Burmese Jade Bracelet, Cylindrical Bead, Limited Edition

Jade has long fascinated admirers as a high-quality natural stone, and this bracelet is crafted from genuine jade sourced from Myanmar (Burma). Jade has been familiar to the Japanese for centuries, having been used for magatama beads and other ornaments as far back as the Jomon period; prized for its rarity, it has also been called the 'emerald of the Orient' and used as a noble ornament since ancient times. Jade is generally divided into hard jade and soft jade, with hard jade being the more common type used in fine jewelry. Burmese jade is a leading representative of hard jade, with a hardness of 6.5–7 and a specific gravity heavier than most ordinary stones, giving it a substantial, weighty feel in the hand that belies its appearance. This piece pairs a sense of luxury with a beautiful natural brilliance. Only 10 pieces are available; Burmese jade is a highly sought-after variety and, being reasonably priced for its quality, may sell out quickly.
