Discover jade necklaces and pendants with practical information about the material, dimensions, chain or cord, and everyday care. Each listing provides the details available for the individual piece.
CHOOSING YOUR NECKLACE
Product photographs are usually taken close up. Before choosing, look at the finished necklace length and the pendant width. Together, they tell you where the piece will sit and how much space the jade will occupy on your neckline.
WHERE DO YOU WANT IT TO FALL?
Measure a necklace you already wear from clasp to clasp. Then compare that number with the finished length shown on the product page.
Sits close to the base of the neck.
Usually rests around the collarbone.
Leaves a little more room below the collarbone.
Falls lower toward the upper chest.
The same length can sit differently depending on neck circumference, height, clothing and pendant weight.
PENDANT SCALE
Close-up photography can make a small pendant fill the frame. Check both height and width against a ruler. A 23 mm round disc is close to the diameter of a U.S. quarter, which measures about 24.3 mm.
If the jade sits inside a metal frame, use the full outer size when judging how large the finished pendant will look.
THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO WEAR JADE
The setting around the jade changes the mood of the whole necklace. These three pieces show the difference more clearly than technical terms alone.
FINE CHAIN
The chain stays visually quiet, so the pendant becomes the focus.
BRAIDED CORD
A visible cord gives a larger jade disc more visual weight and a less formal feel.
BEAD STRAND
Bead diameter and total weight matter because the jade continues around the neck.
Before buying: check the finished length, the full pendant dimensions, the metal finish and—on bead necklaces—the bead diameter and total weight.
