Description: One-of-a-kind jadeite/serpentine/sterling silver double-strand necklace. This unique piece sits nicely just below neckline, bringing focus to the the asymmetrical jadeite center piece.
Jadeite is one of the two types of jade with distinct mineral compositions. The first, nephrite, is the traditional and more commonly available jade of China and is mostly green to white. The second type, jadeite, is rarer and results in a wider range of colors (including black, blue, lilac). Mined only in Myanmar and Guatemala, certain types of well-worked, gem quality jadeite jade can be valued equal to or above the traditional precious gems (diamond, sapphire, ruby). The dark green hued jadeite in this piece hails from Guatemala.
