Vintage Jadeite Beaded Necklace
Jade is made up of 2 types of stones: jadeite and nephrite. Until 1863, the 2 stones were thought to be the same until chemical analysis determined they were different stones. Jadeite jade is rarer and more sought after than nephrite, especially for jewelry. This necklace features 7.1MM jadeite beads and a sterling silver (92.5% silver content) barrel closure.
Length: 25 inches
Weight: 44.5 grams
This is an estate item; items that are preowned may show minimal signs of wear.
