Eighteen inches of considered design that sits at the throat and does not move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the necklace a man puts on and gets asked about. Every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy He Will Wear It Every Day\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6mm jade beads keep the strand lean and close to the body. The stainless steel disc spacers interrupt the color at even intervals, giving the eye a place to rest between the blue. Then the raw howlite center stone lands and everything stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works open collar. It works under a jacket. It sits at the throat at 18 inches, which means it shows without competing with anything else he is wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color reads differently in every light. Overcast morning. Direct sun. Candlelight. It is never the same necklace twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Light Blue Jade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJade has been the most prized gemstone in Asian cultures for over 5,000 years, valued above gold and diamonds. The Chinese called it the stone of heaven. It appeared in imperial jewelry, ceremonial objects, and burial pieces across Chinese, Mesoamerican, and Maori cultures for millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light blue variety carries that entire history in a color that reads as effortless. Not loud. Not trying. Just present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from Myanmar, China, and Guatemala. The 6mm bead size keeps the strand refined without losing the substance of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Raw Howlite\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe center stone is not polished. That is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowlite is a calcium borosilicate mineral first documented in Nova Scotia in 1868. Its signature is the veining: irregular black and brown lines running through a cream-white base. In its raw, uncut form, that character is amplified. The surface is irregular. The shape is entirely its own. No two raw howlite center stones are identical, which means no two of these necklaces are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-inch raw stone sits at the center of the strand like it was always supposed to be there. Because it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Stainless Steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel does not tarnish, corrode, or react to skin. The cool silver tone of the disc spacers and lobster clasp hardware mirrors the cream and grey veining running through the howlite center stone. The metal belongs here. It ties the raw stone to the refined strand without forcing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for daily wear. Zero maintenance required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTHE DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6mm Light Blue Jade, natural gemstone beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Stone:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1-inch raw uncut Howlite, natural veined surface, unique per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccent:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStainless steel disc spacer beads, evenly spaced along strand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStainless steel lobster clasp and findings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHigh-polish round jade beads; natural raw surface on howlite center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSingle strand with evenly spaced steel spacers and lobster clasp closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApproximately 18 inches; sits at the throat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRaw howlite center stone is one of a kind.
