A study in light.
This Princessa pendant is hand-cut from a single slice of Guatemalan Jadeite, showing the rare “snow” phenomenon collectors look for. Watery greens and icy blues suspended in glassy stone, with a tight crystal structure that glows when backlit.
Each piece is shaped and polished by hand in our Ohio workshop using traditional lapidary methods. No CNC, no automation. Just time, focus, and intention in every curve.
The jade is sourced from the Motagua River Valley in Guatemala, the same source worked by ancient Maya artisans for centuries. Hand-gathered with respect for the land — no heavy machinery or industrial extraction. No two will ever be the same.

Know Your Stone
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.
