Ocean Polished Big Sur Blue Jade Slick-Bead Project

This is a small “Ocean Polished Slick” of beautiful blue jade from Big Sur California that was used in a custom job. Here I show some of the layout, cutting and drilling and then the final bead. Something unique I offer sometimes or in custom orders is the addition of abalone to jade. Very difficult to do and only works with a certain glue or it can separate but a condition called coefficient of thermal expanstion between two materials that are so different like jade and abalone.

    1. Hi Emily,

      Sorry for the late reply. I have been out of the state for a couple weeks. I do have more material. What size and shape cabochon are you interested in?

      Thanks again Emily and how cool would that be for an engagement ring. : )
