Handmade Dyed Blue Jade Bracelet

Handmade Dyed Blue Jade Bracelet

Blue Jade?  Yes Blue Jade. 

Unfortunately there’s not many naturally occurring blue gemstones, sapphire is probably the most notable but this is classed as a precious stone and therefore is more likely to be facet cut and set into mounts as a ring or pendant. So for creating blue designs I have to often buy dyed gems, these being jade (normally green).

I have strung these faceted 8mm beads onto a blue nylon coated stainless steel wire, with sterling silver crimps and then I’ve used a sterling silver bolt ring to hook onto the loop of wire at the end.
