Olive lets one bead do the talking. A single oversized jadeite orb sits at the center, smooth and softly green, framed by a strand of smaller beads in pale jade, lavender, and white. A little gold charm rests at the side, catching the light when you move. It is the kind of bracelet that looks quiet on the table and confident on the wrist, equally at home with a knit cardigan or rolled-up sleeves. Untreated jadeite (Grade A) with gold vermeil on S925 sterling silver. Because each stone is natural, color and texture vary slightly from piece to piece.
Natural and untreated jadeite (Grade A). Made by handwork of carving and polishing. Because of the gemstone's natural characteristics, each piece may vary slightly in colors and textures.
Jewelry goes on last and comes off first: put pieces on after perfume and lotion, and take them off before swimming, showering, workouts, and sleep. Natural stones are tough but can chip on impact; wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and skip harsh cleaners. Pearls are the most delicate: keep them away from cosmetics. Solid gold refreshes with mild soap and water; keep gold-plated and gold-filled pieces dry to protect the finish. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch.
