Couldn't load pickup availability
Apple-green Manzano Guatemalan jadeite spheres alternate with deep purple amethyst in this hand-strung beaded necklace — a pairing that is both chromatic and geological, warm green against cool violet, earth against crystal. Silver spacer beads mark the rhythm throughout, finished with a silver clasp.
Manzano is a traditional Guatemalan jadeite color — Type A, untreated, named for the apple-green warmth of its hue. Sourced from Guatemala, the only country where true jadeite forms in the color range revered by the ancient Maya. The amethyst brings deeply saturated violet to the strand — faceted and a natural complement to the jade's warmth.

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.
