Guatemalan Green Jade Hand-Knotted Strand Necklace in Sterling Silver

There’s an undeniably sensuous allure to a hand-knotted strand of gemstones. Each bead moves with a liquid grace, the silk thread giving the necklace a supple drape that molds effortlessly against the skin. In the hand, they’re a joy to roll between your fingers—smooth, rhythmic, and grounding. I love layering these strands; they bring a rich, polished depth to any look, whether paired with other necklaces or worn alone as a statement of quiet strength. Each one is knotted on silk thread chosen to complement the stones, a subtle detail that elevates the entire piece.

This strand is made from richly saturated Guatemalan green jade, a gemstone with a long history of reverence and artistry. These 5mm smooth roundels carry a deep, velvety green—earthy yet luminous—with subtle shifts of tone that reveal the stone’s natural complexity. The strand feels cool and substantial in the hand, offering a grounded presence and a look that pairs beautifully with both neutral palettes and bold, layered styling.

Jade has long been associated with harmony, protection, and emotional balance. It’s considered a stone of well-being—steadying, soothing, and gently strengthening the spirit.
