These jade beads, with their bright colours and perfectly round shapes, make a bold statement. Each bead measures 12 mm and I have strung them on three lengths of waxed cotton beading string. Each string is a different colour to complement the beads that have been knotted into it. The shortest string measures 18 inches/46 cm and the longest measures 22 inches/56 cm. There are 28 beads in total, and the entire necklace weighs 75 grams.
The three strings have been threaded through a sterling silver jump ring at each end, and firmly knotted, and then the cut ends of each string have been finished off with a knot. A sterling silver ring and bar clasp complete this stunning necklace. This necklace could span the seasons, complementing Spring and Summer colours, yet brightening up the shades of Autumn and Winter.
