About Black Jade

Black Jade is a dark variety of jade-related gemstone material appreciated for its rich colour and polished finish. The term "jade" is commonly associated with two main minerals: Jadeite and Nephrite, both of which have been valued throughout history for their toughness and beauty.

Dark varieties of jade have been used for decorative objects, carvings and jewellery due to their durability and ability to take a smooth polish.

Californian Black Jade is associated with material sourced from California and is valued by collectors who appreciate unusual natural gemstones with a distinctive appearance.

Natural Gemstone Variation

Natural Black Jade can vary from bead to bead. Differences in depth of colour, subtle markings and natural inclusions are normal characteristics of genuine gemstone material.

These variations mean every handmade bead has its own individual appearance and character.

Approximate Dimensions

• Diameter: approximately 16mm
• Width: 11mm
• Core size: approximately 4.4mm

Compatibility

The sterling silver core is designed to fit most European-style charm bracelet systems including Pandora®, Trollbeads®, OHM®, Chamilia® and similar bracelets.

Caring For Your Black Jade Bead

Black Jade is a durable gemstone, but care should still be taken to protect it from unnecessary knocks, harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild water if required. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and strong jewellery cleaning solutions.

The sterling silver core may naturally tarnish over time and can be restored using a suitable silver polishing cloth.
