Black Guatemalan Jade & Campitos Turquoise Necklace in Silver
Couldn't load pickup availability
Round Campitos turquoise from Sonora, Mexico and square-cut black Guatemalan jadeite alternate in a considered rhythm along this hand-strung necklace — the contrast of form as deliberate as the contrast of color. Fine silver spacer beads mark the transitions, and a silver clasp completes the piece.
Campitos turquoise, from the Cananea district of Sonora, is among the most sought-after turquoise in North America: vivid sky-blue, naturally stabilized by its own matrix, and produced in limited quantities. The black jade is genuine Guatemalan jadeite — the same mineral revered by the ancient Maya, here cut into precise squares that give the design its geometric tension.

What is Type A jade?
TypeA jade is natural, untreated stone — no bleaching, no polymer filling, no dye.It's the collector standard and the only grade we carry at JADEscape.Provenance documentation is available on request.
What is the difference between jadeite and nephrite?
Both are true jade, but different minerals.Jadeite is rarer, harder, and found in vivid colors including ImperialGreen.Nephrite is tougher with a silky texture, ranging from creamy white to deep forest green.We carry both.
What is Imperial Green jade?
ImperialGreen is the most prized color grade in jadeite — a vivid, evenly saturated green produced by trace chromium in the stone's crystal structure.TrueImperialGreen is highly translucent,with a depth of color that seems to glow from within.AtJADEscape, when we carry ImperialGreen material, it is always TypeA — natural and untreated.
How do I care for my jade piece?
Clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap.Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and prolonged sun exposure.Store separately to prevent scratching.With proper care,Type A jade lasts generations.
Do you provide certificates of authenticity?
At JADEscape, we source directly from the mines and the carvers themselves — our provenance comes from the relationship, not a certificate.The jade certification industry is largely unregulated and most commonly used by resellers.We can tell you exactly where a piece came from, who carved it, and what makes it genuine — because we were there.
