Sterling Silver Jade Earrings, Handmade Good Luck Gemstone Jewellery.

Beautiful Burmese Jade and sterling silver earrings featuring genuine Burmese Jadeite 8mm rounds and sterling silver findings. I have finished the earrings with sterling silver shepherd hooks. Very sweet earrings! Jadeite and Nephrite are both types of Jade, with Jadeite being the rarer variety. The Jadeite used to make these earrings is from Burma. The earrings are available in three different natural shades of dark green, medium green and pale green. Please select the option you require at checkout. The history of Jadeite goes back thousands of years when it was first used to make weapons and tools because of the hardness of the stone. Jadeite was highly prized by the Mayans and Aztecs and in Chinese, Jade is known as "yu", which means heavenly" or "imperial". * The jadeite rounds are approximately 8mm in size. * The length of the earring is approximately 2.5cm. The earrings will be received in a Lola Loves presentation box and I will gift wrap this for you. I can also include a short message if you are buying as a gift. Simply, leave the details when placing your order.
