Jade Beads and Bracelets: A Wearer’s Guide

Between the formality of a bangle and the lightness of a cord pendant sits the beaded jade bracelet — the most forgiving way to wear jade daily, and the piece we most often see become a habit its owner cannot put down.

What Separates Fine Strands

With beads, consistency is the craft. Each bead is cut from stone, so a strand of well-matched beads — in colour, water and size — represents far more raw jade than the strand itself contains. Look down the line of a bracelet: the beads should converse, not argue.

Accent Beads and Knots

Many strands carry accent beads — cloisonné, gold, coral — and hand-tied knots between beads. The knots are not decoration only: they protect beads from grinding against each other, and hold the strand together should the cord ever give.

Wear and Care

A beaded bracelet is jade at its most casual: wear it with anything, take it off for rough work, and have the stringing checked every few years — thread ages, stone does not. When a strand in our catalogue catches your eye, ask us to measure it against your wrist size before you decide.
