Women's Prayer Beads, Burmese Jade, Flower Carving, 7mm Bead

This masterpiece showcases Burmese jade, among the most valuable varieties of jade, carved here with an intricate floral pattern. Jade has been regarded as China's most valuable gemstone since ancient times, historically prized as a symbol of status. In Japan, it has long been used for magatama and other ornaments, valued as well for stone tools due to its resistance to breaking. Jade is the birthstone for May, believed to ward off misfortune, balance the mind, and support healthy metabolism; its stone meaning of health makes prayer beads crafted from it a popular gift for wishing someone wellbeing. The Burmese jade featured in our made-to-order pieces is distinguished by its green tone and unique patterning – the higher the grade, the greater its transparency and luster. The flower carving showcased on this piece is exceptionally smooth and beautifully rendered.
