The photos below were shared by BMjade customers with their reviews, showing how our jade pendants and necklaces look when worn in everyday light. Jade changes with lighting: warm light makes green look richer, while cool LED light makes blue-green look bluer. Soft window daylight shows color most accurately.
Our Burmese jadeite necklaces are carved from natural Type A jadeite sourced from Myanmar. Type A means the jadeite has not been acid-bleached, resin-impregnated or dyed.
Choose jadeite if you prefer brighter greens, icy translucency, blue-green shades or detailed carvings. This collection includes Ping An Kou pendants, dragons, hearts, leaves, gourds, animals, personalized pendants, bead necklaces and modern jade chains.
Our Chinese nephrite jade necklaces are made from natural, untreated nephrite. Nephrite usually has a smooth texture and softer, waxy luster, with colors ranging from muted green to deeper green tones.
Nephrite is especially well suited to teardrop pendants, polished beads, plaques, clovers and traditional Ping An Kou designs. Unlike jadeite, nephrite is not classified as Type A, B or C. Its material and origin should be stated accurately on the individual product page.
Our jade necklaces for women include delicate heart, clover, teardrop, leaf and round pendants, as well as jade pieces set with sterling silver or gold.
For jade necklaces for men, explore dragon carvings, landscape pendants, column and plaque designs, larger beads and bold Cuban link jade chains.
Many of our necklaces are unisex. A simple Ping An Kou, jade disc, bead necklace or minimalist pendant can be worn by anyone. Instead of relying only on a men’s or women’s label, compare the pendant dimensions, chain length and overall proportions.
A 16-inch necklace sits close to the base of the neck, while an 18-inch chain is a versatile everyday length for most adults. Lengths from 20 to 24 inches place the pendant lower on the chest and often work better with larger carvings.
Always check both the necklace length and pendant drop. See our jade necklace size guide for a more detailed comparison.
BMjade has worked with jade from our Kunming workshop since 2016. We inspect the stone’s color, texture, polish and carving, along with the pendant bail, setting, chain, cord and clasp.
Every jade necklace or pendant includes:
You can also follow our NGTC certificate verification guide to check the certificate online.
Yes — real, natural and untreated, in both minerals the word "jade" covers. Jadeite pieces are Type A: never dyed, bleached or resin-filled. Nephrite pieces are natural and undyed, described in the terms proper to that material, since Type A/B/C applies only to jadeite. Every necklace ships with a certificate you can verify online, and our lifetime guarantee refunds you in full — plus your testing fee — if any qualified lab ever finds otherwise. To check a piece you already own, see how to tell if a jade necklace is real.
For a general gift, a Ping An Kou suits anyone — no deity, no wearing rules, and a wish for safe passage. For a man, the dragon. For a romantic gift, a heart. For someone who simply likes jade, a plain disc or teardrop where the stone speaks for itself. Each product page explains what its carving means, and the 12 carvings guide covers the full vocabulary.
18 inches suits most adults and sits just below the collarbone — the safest choice if you are buying a gift. 16 inches sits higher, at the base of the neck; 20 to 24 inches sits at or below the chest and carries a larger pendant better. Every piece here lists its chain length, and cord styles are usually adjustable. Full comparison by neckline and pendant size.
A metal chain reads modern, tolerates moisture and needs no maintenance. A braided cord is the traditional form, sits softer against the skin, and is a consumable — inexpensive to replace when it stiffens or frays, which it eventually will. Both are secure when properly made. The part to check on either is the bail, which carries the whole load.
Jade at the chest sits over the heart, which is why a jade necklace has long been given as a personal blessing — a wish for safety, harmony and steadiness from the person who gave it. The specific meaning comes from the carving: protection, prosperity, love or safe passage. What wearing jade says.
Yes — both jades are among the toughest gem materials there are. Take it off before swimming, showering and applying perfume: fragrance is the main enemy of a jade necklace, because it lands exactly where the piece hangs, dulls the stone's lustre and soaks into cords. Jewelry goes on last and comes off first. Full care routine.
Stop wearing it and keep the pendant separate in a soft pouch so it cannot fall. Chains, clasps and jump rings are inexpensive, routine repairs; a crack at the bail or drill hole is a different matter and needs inspection, because that point carries the whole weight. Repair options explained.
A Ping An Kou, heart, teardrop or simple round pendant is an easy choice for most recipients. Dragon, landscape and plaque pendants offer a bolder appearance, while initials and numbers create a more personalized gift.
