About the Item
This multicolor jade necklace from the 1950s or thereabouts was created by the venerable Hawaiian jewelry store, Ming's. Like Gump's in San Francisco, Ming's became known worldwide for their fine jade jewelry, always created using only 100% natural and untreated jadeite and nephrite.
This 23" necklace consists of 38 8mm beads of luminous, translucent natural, and untreated Burmese jadeite jade. An additional seven black onyx beads provide a lovely accent to the jade stones -and actually, look exactly like black jade. Instead of being strung on traditional silk, Ming's created this necklace by hand-twisting 14K yellow gold wire into links. This not only makes the necklace even more durable than it would be strung on silk, but it gives the necklace a different drape; a bit weighted, more decisive when it swings.
The necklace terminates in the trademark Ming's buckle-style clasp with a brushed finish. The clasp is marked "14K" but there is, typically, no "Ming's" logo. The Ming's stamp appears seemingly at random on Ming's jewelry and sometimes is replaced with a hand-scratched "Ming's" and sometimes there is no logo.
Ming's often worked with less common colors of jade. So here we have blood-orange red, near colorless, light blue, black, deep orange, and light apple-green. The beads have excellent translucency and glow as if inwardly illuminated.
A spectacular jadeite necklace in a unique and exceedingly appealing palette of colors. This unisex necklace ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the jade is untreated jadeite from Burma (Myanmar).
