Warrior jade, hand strung.

This fully beaded necklace pairs two distinct Guatemalan jadeites. A hand-carved Jaguar Jade tooth pendant with its signature mottled pattern, strung with highly translucent Princessa Jadeite beads that glow when backlit.

Each tooth is cut from a single piece of natural Guatemalan jadeite, a stone prized for its beauty and cultural legacy. Jaguar Jade is known for its wild, speckled character, while Princessa brings soft blue green translucency and light. Accented with lava rock and .925 sterling silver spacers for contrast and balance.

Everything is strung by hand in our Ohio workshop on braided steel wire. No kits, no automation. Each bead and polish done with time, focus and intention.

The jadeite is sourced from the Motagua River Valley in Guatemala, the same region where ancient Maya artisans carved jade with stone tools. Hand-gathered with care and respect for the land, no heavy machinery or industrial extraction.

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.
