Burmese Jade 6mm Bead Bracelet, Matching Set, Limited Edition

Burmese Jade: The Emerald of the East

Jade has long been familiar to the Japanese people, used to make magatama beads as far back as the Jomon period. Prized for its rarity, it has often been called "the emerald of the East" and used in noble adornments since antiquity.

The jade used in this bracelet is genuine natural jade sourced from Myanmar (Burma). Jade comes in two forms — jadeite and nephrite — and jadeite is generally considered the gemstone-grade variety. Burmese jade is a leading example of jadeite, with a hardness of 6.5 to 7 and a density greater than most other stones, giving it a satisfying heft in the hand that belies its appearance.

This bracelet offers a luxurious, radiant look, with luster and color quality that represent some of the finest available. Jade with both rich luster and deep color has become increasingly rare, as many pieces on the market today have good shine but a paler, less saturated color.
