Jade Bead Necklace in Soft Pink Pumpkin Stones

What is a jade bead necklace?

A jade bead necklace is a strand of jade stones worn at the neckline. This one is made with pink jade in a rounded pumpkin cut, showing off the stone's soft rosy tones. The strand measures 18 inches and comes hand-strung on reliable thread. You can wear it as a single line, a two line or a three line necklace. It belongs to Nipura's Beads Mala collection of natural gemstone strands.

The pumpkin cut

Rather than a plain round bead, each stone here is cut in a pumpkin shape with soft rounded ridges. It gives the beads a fuller tactile feel and a gentle play of light across the strand. The shape suits jade well because it shows off the stone's smooth waxy glow.

How to know your jade is real

Real jade is one of two minerals, jadeite or nephrite. Anything else sold as jade, such as glass or dyed quartz, is an imitation. A few simple cues help you feel the difference.

The feel of real jade

Genuine jade is dense and feels pleasantly heavy for its size. It is cool to the touch at first and warms slowly against the skin. Tapped gently it gives a clear ringing sound rather than the dull click of plastic. Real jade also shows a soft glowing translucency and natural variation rather than a flat uniform colour.

The authentication certificate

The surest confirmation is the certificate. Every Nipura order ships with an authentication certificate that confirms you are holding a genuine natural jade necklace rather than an imitation.

Choosing the right jade necklace

Length and fit

At 18 inches this strand sits at princess length, the most versatile choice that rests just below the collarbone and suits most necklines.

Single, two or three lines

Every jade bead necklace ships in three configurations. The single line is a soft everyday accent. The two lines add a little more presence for festive dressing. The three lines build into a fuller statement for weddings and celebrations. Because pink jade is so gentle in tone it layers easily with pearls, silver and other colourful gemstone strands.

How to style a jade bead necklace

A jade bead necklace in soft pink is easy and gentle to wear. Its rosy tone sits beautifully with neutrals, pastels and white and it pairs naturally with silver for a soft modern look. You can see more pink-strand styling in Nipura's pink beads styling picks.
