About the Item

An utterly spectacular bracelet of the finest emerald green "imperial jade" jadeite beads from Guatemala. Each astonishing bead was hand-carved in South America. This is the very finest jadeite material found in Guatemala and it is the equal to the finest Burmese Jadeite -not too dark, not so light as to be "Apple." I forged a close relationship with a jade Miner in Guatemala many years ago and have always purchased all of his finest material. While these specific beads have not been sent to a gem lab, others from the same lot have and they are natural and untreated jadeite jade. My stock of Guatemalan Jadeite beads is the finest anywhere. I purchased early and aggressively and as a result, I own the best imperial jade ever to come out of these South American mines. 41 beads compose this bracelet; all native cut: barrel, round, ovoid. They are strung on sturdy natural fiber with a hand-knotted slide to allow anyone from a small-wristed person to a man with a 7.5" wrist to wear the bracelet comfortably. Of course, you should feel perfectly free to have your private jeweler create a bracelet threaded with gold or platinum, perhaps with ruby-encrusted spacers. As high as you want to go, these beads have the color, translucency, and polish to match whatever altitude you desire. Or, wear the bracelet as is: humble; yet spectacular: a plain white T-Shirt and a Golconda diamond choker. Irreplaceable, incomparable, and impossibly verdant and rich, this is the mic-drop of all beaded bracelets.

Jade Bracelet Guatemalan Jadeite Jade, 18K, Beaded Stretch, 69mm, 8.75" XL Size
By Augusten Burroughs
Located in Northampton, MA
This 8.75" beaded stretch bracelet is composed of the most stunning and unique hand-carved jadeite jade beads from Guatemala. With an inner diameter of approximately 69mm unstretched, this will those with fit medium, large and XL hands and wrists. As long as your hand is larger than 69mm measured from knuckle to knuckle, it won't slide off your wrist. The bracelet is composed entirely of 28 hand-carved and hand-polished natural and untreated jadeite jade beads from Guatemala and they vary widely in both size and shape. From a 10mm x 8mm cylindrical black jade bead to an 8.15mm almost perfectly round deep emerald-green bead. Two beads are in the 16mm range and several of them have a "primitive" cut, much like the beads the ancient Mayan's would have worn. The tones here are spectacular. From a lush jungle green to the iconic bluish-green only found in Guatemala. There is yellowish green, pale mint green, teal, and emerald. Even the large opaque beads possess a luminous quality. And the translucent beads are just captivating. Three solid 18K gold 5mm beads and one thick, 11mm hand-hammered 18K gold ring complete the bracelet. It weighs a hefty 55 grams, so it's deeply satisfying on the wrist. As a second-generation jade collector, the unique jade from Guatemala has become my favorite variety of jade; my favorite gem. Burma (Myanmar) has long been the primary source for all jadeite in the world. While jadeite is found in other areas in very small amounts, none can equal the magnificence and range of colors that Burmese jade has to offer. It is among the world's most expensive gems because fine jadeite is extremely rare. Jadeite can only form under highly specific geological conditions and Guatemala has these conditions. The ancient Mayan civilization knew jade well and used it for jewelry, masks and more. But like the ancient cities themselves, the jungles consumed the jade mines...

Jade, 18k Gold

Jade Bracelet Guatemalan Jadeite Jade, Silver, Beaded Stretch, 7" Sm-Med Size
By Augusten Burroughs
Located in Northampton, MA
This 7" beaded stretch bracelet will fit small to medium hands and wrists and is composed of 28 hand-carved and hand-polished natural and untreated jadeite jade beads from Guatemala. The beads are an almost aquamarine bluish-green, and alternate between 8mm rondelle-shaped beads and round oness. All of the beads are highly translucent; almost watery. It's a tricky color to capture accurately in the studio, so I've included images taken with my phone outside in natural light and inside near a window. Seven 2.5mm wide handmade sterling silver beads are stationed along the bracelet and an 8.5mm cylindrical bead serves as a focal point. This bracelet is highly translucent and luminous. The pictures describe the tones better than I can. Jadeite has a unique crystal structure that causes it to process light in a completely unique way, with the result being luxurious luminosity, even in the dimmest light. This is no flimsy stretch bracelet like others you've come across. You'll appreciate the quality of this piece the moment you take it out of the box. It's a step (or three) up from stretch bracelets you've seen elsewhere. I use two strength-proven elastic cords, not just one. This is a durable bracelet you can wear and enjoy, without having to worry about. It possesses the authority of quality and rarity, so you could wear it alone. Remember: this is a bracelet composed of one of the rarest gemstones on earth. But it also looks great along with several other bracelets. I like to wear four at a time. Luxurious and so unique, this could become your signature bracelet if you have a medium-sized wrist. About Jadeite from Guatemala: The vast majority of jadeite comes from one location: Burma (Myanmar). Jadeite forms under highly specific geological conditions that exist in only seven or eight locations on the planet and Guatemala has these conditions. The ancient Mayan civilization knew jade well and used it for jewelry, masks and more. But like the ancient cities themselves, the jungles consumed the jade mines...
