All auctions / Ethnographic / Extra Quaìlity Nephrite Jade Necklace – Cassiar Mountains District


Cassiar Mountains District, Canada - 925 Silver Lock — Necklace made with natural Canadian nephrite jade, strung in graduated sizes and selected for material quality, color consistency, and correct proportions. The composition is built around spheres with a central element of 16.5 mm, accompanied by progressively decreasing diameters, designed to ensure a harmonious fit and balanced weight distribution. The jade comes from the Cassiar Mountains, Canada, one of the world’s leading mining districts for gem-quality nephrite. The material features the typical extremely compact fibrous microstructure, which gives the stone high toughness and wear resistance. The coloration shows a natural range of greens, from dark green to forest green, with slight tonal variations, internal veiling, and inclusions typical of untreated nephrite. The spheres are carefully polished but without excess, in order to preserve the stone’s tactile appearance and depth of color. The surface is silky and even, with a soft, non-reflective light reflection. The necklace is completed with a 925 silver clasp, discreet and functional, consistent with the jewel’s minimalist style. A solid and balanced piece, suitable for both everyday mindful use and a more elegant setting, ideal for collectors and natural-stone enthusiasts who appreciate nephrite jade for its authenticity, provenance, and structural quality.
