Hand-Carved Nephrite Jade Pendants
Every hand carved nephrite jade pendant in our shop is cut, carved and polished by one master from a single piece of natural stone. Our pendants are made of Siberian jade, and we finish them by hand without waxes or lacquers, so you see the real, silky luster of the stone. Many pieces are one of a kind: snakes with tiny garnet eyes, whale tails, a netsuke-style whale and delicate flowers.

Why Choose a Hand-Carved Nephrite Jade Pendant
A hand-carved pendant is nothing like a machine-cut bead. Each curve, scale or petal is shaped by hand, which is why no two pieces are exactly the same. Nephrite jade is one of the two minerals known as jade, the other one being jadeite. It is made of tightly interlocked fibers, which makes it very tough and gives it a soft, silky luster. For thousands of years people have carved it into amulets and ornaments, and it still feels good in the hand and on the skin.
Siberian Jade, Left Untreated
We work with natural Siberian nephrite jade, from deep green to creamy white. We polish our pendants by hand and do not cover them with waxes, lacquers or chemical sealants. What you see is the stone itself, with its own clouds, veins and shades. That is also why the color of your pendant can differ a little from the photo.
