In this small united-nations-of-jade necklace you get pale Burmese jadeite, small oval and cylindrical beads of Canadian nephrite, and a small axe blade pendant of Guatemalan nearly black jadeite. The axe was carved in the workshop of Jay and Mary Lou Ridinger, discoverers of the source of ancient Maya jade, which had been lost since the Spanish conquest, since the conquistadores had no interest in jade on their hunt for gold and emeralds.

All my work is strung on soft flexible cable wire. I prefer the Flex-Rite brand.

Just like in the Beadazzled stores, I hope you'll shop, but I'm also offering my work as inspiration for your own designs.
