Manzano Guatemalan Jade & Carnelian Beaded Necklace in Gold Vermeil
Manzano Guatemalan Jade & Carnelian Beaded Necklace in Gold Vermeil
Couldn't load pickup availability
Apple-green Manzano Guatemalan jadeite and warm, translucent carnelian alternate in smooth oval beads along this hand-strung necklace — the cool green of the jade against the deep orange of the carnelian, finished with a gold vermeil clasp that draws warmth from both stones.
Manzano is a traditional Guatemalan jadeite color — Type A, untreated, named for the apple-green warmth of its hue. Some beads in this necklace carry natural dark character marks: inclusions and mineral variations inherent to the stone, not flaws. They are the signature of genuine, unenhanced material — proof that no two beads, and no two necklaces, are the same.

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.
