      A single bead of jade, suspended on a fine chain. Quiet enough for everyday, distinct enough to be noticed. The kind of piece that becomes part of how you get dressed.

      The bead is cut from natural Grade A jadeite, untreated and cut into a smooth oval form. Its color sits somewhere between sage and pale ocean, with subtle marbling and veins of cream that catch the light differently depending on the hour. Worn at the hollow of the throat, it draws the eye without demanding it.

      Jade has been carried close to the body for thousands of years. In China and across East Asia, it has long been considered the most precious of stones, valued above gold for its calm presence and its association with longevity, harmony, and protection. A single bead is the most ancient form of jade adornment, worn as a quiet talisman rather than a display.

      Available in two lengths to suit your frame: 13" + 2" extender for a closer choker fit, and 15" + 2" extender for a slightly longer drop at the collarbone. Each piece is finished in either 14k gold-filled or sterling silver, both designed for daily wear and gentle on sensitive skin. As with all natural stones, the color and marbling of your jade bead will vary subtly from the one photographed.

      JEWELRY CARE

      Gold-filled jewelry is crafted with a thick layer of real gold bonded to a brass core, offering lasting shine and skin-friendly wear when cared for thoughtfully.

      Avoid sweat AVOID SWEAT Avoid wearing jewelry during exercise or strenuous tasks because sweat may cause it to tarnish.
      Avoid bath AVOID BATH, SAUNA, SWIMMING POOLS, OCEAN WATER These environments expose jewelry to prolonged heat, moisture, chlorine, and salt which can weaken the gold layer and speed up tarnishing.
      Avoid cosmetics AVOID COSMETICS Let skincare and fragrances absorb fully before wearing jewelry, as oils and chemicals may dull the surface over time.
      Storage STORAGE Store your pieces in a dry, airtight pouch or jewelry box to prevent moisture from dulling the gold.

      OUR MATERIALS

      GOLD FILL

      Made for everyday wear, our gold-filled pieces feature a thick layer of real 14k or 18k gold pressure-bonded to a brass core, creating a durable and skin-friendly alternative to solid gold.

      While standard gold-plated jewelry often uses less than 0.1 micron of gold, gold-filled pieces contain 3–5% solid gold by weight — which is about a hundred times thicker. With proper care, they maintain their shine beautifully and offer the ideal balance of quality, longevity, and affordability for sensitive skin.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is gold-filled jewelry?
      Gold-filled jewelry features a thick layer of 14k or 18k gold pressure-bonded to a brass core. It's more durable than gold-plated and more affordable than solid gold. Our 14k gold-filled pieces contain 5% solid gold by weight; our 18k pieces contain 3% solid gold by weight.
      Does gold-filled jewelry tarnish?
      Gold-filled jewelry is highly tarnish-resistant thanks to its thick, pressure-bonded gold layer. With proper care, it maintains its shine for years. Avoid contact with sweat, lotions, perfumes, and cleaning agents to preserve the finish long-term.
      Can I shower with gold-filled jewelry?
      Yes. Gold-filled is generally safe to wear in water, including in the shower. Keep it away from oceans, swimming pools, and baths — the chemicals in chlorine and saltwater can break down the gold layer over time.
      Will gold-filled jewelry turn my skin green?
      No. Gold-filled is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. The thick, bonded gold layer prevents the brass core from contacting your skin, making it a reliable option for people with sensitive skin or ears.
      How long does gold-filled jewelry last?
      With proper care, gold-filled jewelry maintains its shine and finish for many years. Apply perfumes and lotions before putting jewelry on, wipe gently with a soft jewelry cloth after wear, and store each piece in a dry pouch or box to protect it from moisture and scratches.
      Is gold-filled the same as gold-plated?
      No. Gold-plated jewelry has a very thin gold layer that typically wears off within weeks. Gold-filled has a much thicker gold layer that's pressure-bonded to the core, which is why it lasts significantly longer and doesn't flake, chip, or turn skin green.
      What's the difference between gold-filled and gold vermeil?
      Gold-filled has a thick layer of 14k or 18k gold pressure-bonded to a brass core. Gold vermeil has a thick layer of gold plated over sterling silver. Both are durable, tarnish-resistant, and safe for sensitive skin. Gold vermeil has a sterling silver base, which some prefer as a higher-quality core material.
