Jade

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

Here is a small project of creating a 1″ long black jade bead out of Western Australian black jade from Australia. This material is very nice and very black. I always keep more on hand for special projects.
