EXP Handmade Silver Agate Jade Turquoise Beaded Necklace

Complement your world jewelry collection with this irresistible silver and gemstone beaded necklace, expertly handcrafted by AsiaEXP artisans in northern Thailand. The necklace strand is made of small, dark green jade beads that offset a striking central design of polished brown agate pieces. Accents of silver and Afghani turquoise are interspersed throughout and a silver clasp is used to close the necklace. Measures 17 inches in length. Believed to protect from fever, ward off storms and quench thirst, agate has been used as a talisman or amulet stone since ancient times. Jade, too, has long been revered for its aesthetic and as a symbol of all that is virtuous and precious. It has special significance in Asia, where it is associated with the Confucian qualities of wisdom, courage, empathy, justice and humility, as well as the concept of the female erotic. These unique treasures are created by a Pakistani family living in Chiang Mai. They own and operate a small workshop in their home, providing employment to native Thai artisans. By shopping with us, you not only receive an exceptional piece of jewelry, you also aid the sustainability of Thai locals.
