With deep, emerald tones and wild light green swirls, this strand of 8mm Canadian jade round beads will bring a royal feel to any jewelry design. Each dark green gemstone is made from nephrite, a calcium-magnesium silicate that can appear in all shades of green and sprinkled with brown, yellow or grey tones. Their large 8mm size and dramatic color make these beads perfect to work into a necklace or bracelet paired with rich gold beads.
