Explore the Beauty and Craftsmanship of the Hand Carved Jade Necklace

The Yuán Thread reimagines the classic jade necklace in a grounded, minimalist form. At its center rests a polished natural jade pendant carved in the circular donut shape that embodies the Chinese character 圆 (Yuán), a symbol of wholeness, harmony, and continuity. It is a piece that brings ancient meaning into a quieter silhouette, made to be worn close and lived in.

The pendant is suspended from an adjustable dark green waxed cotton cord, hand-tied and finished with a sliding closure so it sits comfortably at any length. The cord is hypoallergenic and entirely metal-free, a clean alternative for sensitive skin and for moments when you want softness against the neck instead of metal. The jade anchors the piece with a quiet, cool weight.

Note: Natural jade varies in tone and pattern. Yours will be one-of-a-kind, selected with intention, and the jade shown is representative of the quality and character you will receive.

Common questions

All of our jade is Grade A, the natural and untreated grade with no dyeing or chemical enhancement. Each piece is hand-selected for tone, grain, and quality. Our jade is sourced through established suppliers in Myanmar and China, with many pieces carved in Zhenping, Henan, a region widely known for jade carving and jewelry craftsmanship. Our flagship Jaura Ring uses certified natural jadeite and ships with a Certificate of Authenticity.

We work with established suppliers and inspect every stone in our workshop before it is set or carved. For our flagship pieces, certification documents accompany the piece. For our other pieces, our promise is simpler: every stone is natural, never dyed, and chosen by hand.

Natural materials make every Aulyn piece slightly different. Jade varies in tone, grain, and translucency from stone to stone, and handcrafted finishes carry small marks of the hand. The piece you receive will match the quality and character you see in our photographs, but it will not be a perfect copy. That is part of what makes it yours.

Stocked pieces ship within one to three business days. Made-to-order pieces, including the Jaura Ring, take around two weeks from order to shipment. The lead time appears on each made-to-order product page along with the crafting timeline.

Write to us within 14 days of delivery. As long as the piece is unworn and in its original condition, we will help with an exchange for the correct size. Made-to-order pieces may carry a small adjustment fee depending on the karat and stone. Our Ring Size Guide can help you get the fit right the first time.
