Manzano Guatemalan Jade, Turquoise & Freshwater Pearl Multi-Strand Necklace
Manzano Guatemalan Jade, Turquoise & Freshwater Pearl Multi-Strand Necklace
Couldn't load pickup availability
A necklace built around one of Guatemala's most distinctive jadeite expressions — Manzano jade, named for the apple-green warmth of its color. The centerpiece jade element anchors a multi-strand composition of freshwater pearls in contrasting dark and white tones, accented throughout with turquoise beads that bridge the cool and warm registers of the palette.
Manzano is a traditional Guatemalan jadeite color — genuine Type A material, untreated, carrying the full mineral character of stone sourced from the Sierra de las Minas. Each piece of Manzano jade is subtly its own: the apple-green ground shifts with depth and light, never quite the same twice.

- Accent stones: Turquoise, freshwater pearls (dark & white)
- Construction: Multi-strand beaded with neckpiece

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.
