A beautiful, substantial mid-20th-century Chinese statement necklace crafted from genuine, natural celadon green jadeite jade.

This classic "opera-length" strand features a meticulous, hand-knotted arrangement of polished round beads accented by larger, hand-carved focal beads and a traditional matching jade toggle clasp.

Design & Craftsmanship

• Bead Configuration: Features alternating smooth, high-luster round beads interspersed with large, hand-carved accent beads detailing traditional "Shou" longevity and floral motifs.

• Clasp Type: Finished with an authentic, traditional hand-carved jade ring-and-bar (donut and toggle) closure, allowing the piece to be worn seamlessly from any angle without exposed metal.

• Stringing: Professionally hand-knotted on a durable, colour-matched sage green silk/cotton cord to protect the beads from friction and ensure a graceful drape.
  

Gemstone Characteristics

• Color: Classic, highly sought-after celadon "minty" green with an elegant, milky, semi-translucent quality.

• Texture & Inclusions: Displays a genuine, tightly interlocked crystalline structure. Under close macro inspection, the beads showcase natural, organic variations, including rich, vivid green chromite flecks ("moss in snow" patterns) that confirm its completely natural, untreated origin.

• Authenticity: Free of the uniform air bubbles found in glass imitations, and free of the reflective mica flakes common in aventurine quartz stimulant’s
