Jade Buddha Necklace
Jade is a broad term covering two related minerals, nephrite and jadeite, carved here into a serene Buddha pendant. The figure hangs on a necklace in soothing green jade — a calm, meaningful everyday piece.
Because "jade" covers more than one mineral, the exact variety of this specimen (nephrite or a related jade-family stone) is not specified by the supplier — a common and normal practice for carved jade pieces at this price point.

Many people wear one as a daily reminder of calm; see more in our balance & wellness and Buddha collections.
How to wear it
Wear the necklace daily as a grounding, meaningful accent, or hang it somewhere visible, like a mirror or altar, as a quiet reminder of calm. Each Buddha is carved from natural jade, so the green tone and exact size vary piece to piece, making yours unique.
Care & cleansing
Jade is water-safe for occasional rinsing, though it's best to avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, and hard impacts that could chip the carved detail. Many people cleanse jade with sound, smoke from dried herbs (see our smudging & herbs), or gentle sunlight.
