Nephrite Jade Bead Hammered Disc Dangle Earrings · Gold

Jade has been carved in China for five thousand years, and nephrite was the stone of the imperial workshops. It is a pale apple green, mottled with lighter cloudy patches, with a waxy lustre. Here a smooth round nephrite jade bead hangs from a hand-hammered gold disc on a push-back post, so the disc catches the light while the bead swings below it.

Reach for it when you want a green that feels calm rather than bright. The beaten disc does the shining, the clouded jade bead stays soft below it. Beaten gold, soft green.

• Calm apple green under beaten gold
• No two beads cloud alike, every pair its own
• Push-back post, on and forgotten all day

Handcrafted by master silversmiths in Protsaah's own workshop in Jaipur, where every maker is paid 30 to 40% above the local market rate.

Nephrite jade is a warm, soft green that sits closest to warm or neutral skin and picks up brown, hazel and green eyes, where it reads as a quieter note of the iris. Dark brown, auburn and black hair give it contrast.

For cool or fair tones, amazonite or blue topaz in the same design carries the same calm in a cooler key. Not sure? Write to us at hello@protsaah.com and Salonie will recommend your stone personally.
