Cut here into disc form, these beads are wider and flatter than a standard round bead, giving them a bold, graphic presence on the wrist. The disc cut maximizes the stone's surface area and luster, catching light across a broader face. Prized by the ancient Maya and genuinely rare in the contemporary market. Natural and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHetian Jade — Rondelles (Nephrite)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHetian jade from Xinjiang, China has been treasured for over 7,000 years for its smooth texture, quiet luster, and deep cultural significance. The rondelle cut — a flattened disc shape, narrower than a full disc — creates a rhythmic visual counterpoint to the black jade discs: same flat profile, different scale and color. The pale, creamy tone of the Hetian jade reads as luminous against the black jadeite, and the rondelle form adds movement and dimension to the strand. Natural and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGobi Desert Agate — Accent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA single Gobi Desert agate from the stone fields of Mongolia completes the composition. Round and translucent where the jade pieces are flat and opaque, it introduces a different geometry and a different quality of light — a warm, naturally patterned bead that serves as the bracelet's accent note and visual rest point.

The black-and-pale contrast of the two jades is sophisticated and versatile, pairing naturally with both silver and gold. The Gobi agate accent adds warmth and a note of natural irregularity that keeps the composition from feeling too geometric. For those who want their jewelry to be noticed for its form as much as its material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove before swimming, bathing, or heavy exercise to preserve the stretch cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean with a soft, dry cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore flat or loosely coiled — avoid hanging, which can stress the cord over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural stones may have minor surface variations; these are not flaws — they are proof of origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JADEscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47255839998089,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6549\/2617\/files\/IMG_0251_8beb38d7-1541-4c1d-a021-1850f86bd29a.jpg?v=1783904084","url":"https:\/\/jadescape.shop\/products\/black-guatemalan-jade-discs-hetian-jade-rondelles-gobi-agate-stretch-bracelet","provider":"JADEscape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
