Some stones carry the feeling of a dream. This is one of them.
Cut from a single slice of Guatemalan Princesa jadeite, this freeform pendant reveals one of the stone's most enchanting expressions: gentle snowy inclusions suspended in cool greens and watery blues, a rare natural effect that gives the piece a soft, ethereal presence. The stone's tight crystal structure and natural translucency allow light to wash through it entirely when backlit — luminous, weightless, alive.
Shaped and polished entirely by hand in our small Ohio workshop using traditional lapidary methods. The jade is respectfully gathered from the Motagua River Valley — the same region where ancient Maya artisans once carved their most sacred objects. No heavy machinery, no modern extraction. Just careful hand-collection, patience, and intention. Every contour and polish is done slowly by hand, giving the piece its soft, organic flow.

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.

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.
