Baltic Amber & Guatemalan Jadeite Fully Beaded Pendant — Ancient Resin Meets Sacred Stone

Forty million years of amber. Thousands of years of jade. One necklace.
This fully beaded pendant brings together two of the earth's most storied materials: authentic Baltic Amber — fossilized tree resin from the ancient forests of the Baltic Sea region — and Guatemalan Jadeite, the sacred stone of the ancient Maya. The result is a piece that carries genuine geological and cultural weight, not just aesthetic beauty.
At the center, a hand-cut Guatemalan Jadeite teardrop anchors the composition. Surrounding it: jadeite jade beads, amber beads, and a breathtaking arrangement that moves from the center outward with intention. This particular amber piece contains natural plant matter inclusions — ancient organic material trapped within the resin, offering a literal window into a world that existed long before us.
Baltic Amber is unlike any other material in jewelry. It is the only fossil resin that contains succinic acid (3–8%), warms immediately to the touch, and releases a subtle, grounding fragrance when held in the palm. It is extraordinarily lightweight for its size — making this necklace as comfortable to wear as it is striking to look at.
Completed with .925 sterling silver findings and a braided steel cord for lasting strength. Handmade in our small Ohio workshop.

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.
