Women's Prayer Beads, Lime Jade, 7mm Bead, Wakatakebo

Women's Prayer Beads, Lime Jade, 7mm Bead, Wakatakebo

This lime jade is Burmese jade that has been dyed to a vivid lime-green 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 lime jade featured here is dyed from that paler stock, offering the bold green look of premium Burmese jade at a more accessible price – ideal for those drawn to a strong green tone but hesitant about the cost. 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.
