Jade, Jadeite, Nephrite, Hsiu Jade(Serpentine)

Jade has a greasy lustre, which comes in many shades of green, and also white, grey, black, yellow, orange and lavender. It has been used for some 7000 years. In prehistoric times it was esteemed rather more for its toughness, which made it an ideal material for weapons and tools, as well as beads, carvings and pendants. Yet as early as 3000 B.C. jade was known in China as 'yu', the 'royal gem'. Jade refers to both Jadite and Nephrite. Hsiu Jade, is actually serpentine, and can be almost as beautiful as Jadite or Nephrite.

Love the antique Chinese dangles

I like finding the antique pieces, especially those that are unusual is a always great. Have purchased a number from EA. Always find something new and unusual.

Great versatile bead

These beads look great combined with gemstones (lapis, turquoise, etc.) and glass beads. I really like them with white beads for summertime. Size is perfect for bracelets.

Lovely!

I love the glass beads from your store. Everything arrived on time, beautifully packaged - just perfect!

Excellent

The shipping was fast and loved the product.

Carnelian Stone Bead

Beautiful rich color variations including dark red brown. The carved ridges lean to wire wrapping.
