The Yellow Lemon Jade Beaded Candy Necklace is a soft, sunny pop of color you can wear every day. Natural lemon jade beads are hand-knotted on silk we custom dye in our Key West studio, then finished with hand-coiled French wire and an ethically sourced 14K gold-filled lobster clasp. At 18 inches, it sits right at the collarbone.
Every strand is one of a kind, so the necklace pictured is the one you'll receive.
What Is a Candy Necklace?
Our candy necklaces are fine gemstone jewelry inspired by the colorful sugar-bead necklaces of childhood, reimagined with real stones, silk, and gold so they last for years. This one's lemon-drop yellow is a nod to vintage hard candy, but every bead is genuine stone.
Why We Love Lemon Jade
Lemon jade gets its warm, buttery yellow color from natural minerals in the stone. It has a soft, glowing translucency, and because it's natural, the tone varies gently from bead to bead. That variation is what makes each strand one of a kind rather than a uniform, machine-matched set.
Handmade With Fine-Jewelry Techniques
Hand-Knotted Silk
Each bead is knotted by hand on silk, a technique borrowed from traditional pearl stringing. The knots keep the jade from rubbing together and let the necklace fall with a soft, fluid drape.
Hand-Coiled French Wire
Where the silk meets the clasp, each end is finished with hand-coiled French wire to protect the silk from wear, a fine-jewelry detail most beaded necklaces skip.
14K Gold-Filled Clasp
Gold-filled has a thick layer of real gold bonded to the base metal, so it lasts much longer than gold plating, which wears through with regular use.
