What Is Rainbow Jade (Nephrite)?

"Rainbow Jade" is natural nephrite jade displaying a range of earth tones within a single strand. Nephrite is prized for its:

• Exceptional toughness and durability for everyday wear
• Smooth, slightly waxy luster
• Timeless, neutral color palette

Used for centuries in fine jewelry and carvings, nephrite jade is a reliable, high-demand material that holds up beautifully in daily-wear designs.

Why the 6mm Size Sells

The 6mm round is one of the most versatile and best-selling bead sizes in jewelry making:

• Stronger visual presence than 4mm while remaining comfortable to wear
• Ideal proportions for standalone bracelets and beaded necklaces
• Enhanced visibility of natural color variation per bead
• Broad appeal across men’s, women’s, and unisex designs
• Well-suited for mid-range price point pieces that drive repeat purchases
