“Elegant” was hand-carved from a piece of Wyoming Nephrite Jade.

Strand approximately 17" with the largest bead being 14mm and the smallest bead being 7mm.

Carved in 2024.

Note from the Artist: Beads are one of the oldest art forms carved in stone. I enjoy the simplicity of a beautiful bead and the way it feels in the hand. My process for carving beads is very rudimentary and involved. I learned this method from my mentor Maile, who has raised the bar for fine gemstone handmade beads. Sometimes simple is the best way to honer a piece of jade and this stunning apple green jade fits that statement to a T. Each bead was carefully carved to create a beautiful, subtle graduation into a 14k gold clasp.

The Cord: This piece is strung on a polyester/nylon blend cord. The clasp is 14kt gold.
