108-Bead White Lonely Stone Nephrite Necklace (8mm)

SKU: 108 Buddha Single-seed Nephrite Bead Necklace

$9,999.00

Among fine Xinjiang Hetian nephrite, a necklace made from a single genuine seed pebble is an especially rare form of jade craftsmanship and collecting. A bead necklace cut entirely from one Lonely Stone (single-seed nephrite jade / 籽料独籽) is very collectable and valueble. Unlike ordinary white nephrite beads, which can be produced from larger blocks of material and may later be given artificial surface treatments to imitate seed-jade skin, beads cut from a genuine Lonely Stone retain the natural characteristics of the original pebble. This makes the source of the rough stone particularly important. At Hermit Jade, we trace the material carefully at its source. When we describe a bead necklace as being cut from a genuine Lonely Stone, it means that the beads come from that original seed pebble. Why 108 Beads? The number 108 has a long tradition in Chinese Buddhist culture and Buddhist practice. In Buddhist tradition, 108 beads are traditionally associated with the 108 worldly afflictions or mental attachments that practitioners seek to overcome. A 108-bead mala can therefore represent the process of moving beyond these distractions toward greater clarity and peace. Today, 108-bead necklaces are appreciated not only for their spiritual meaning but also as a distinctive form of jade collecting. For fine jade, producing a complete 108-bead necklace from one single seed pebble is especially demanding. The original stone must be large enough to yield sufficient material, while maintaining consistent quality across the beads. When the entire strand comes from one genuine Lonely Stone, the necklace carries an additional sense of continuity and rarity.

Product Description

This necklace is made from a warm white Lonely Stone with natural“sprinkled gold” skin (洒金皮). The warm white jade body has a soft, rich appearance, while traces of the original natural skin remain on selected beads. Because the beads are individually cut from the same pebble, the distribution of the skin varies naturally from bead to bead. Some appear almost entirely warm white, while others reveal delicate areas of golden skin, creating subtle variation throughout the strand.

The jade itself has the fine, smooth and oily character associated with high-quality Xinjiang Hetian nephrite. The polished beads have a soft luster rather than a sharp glass-like shine, giving the necklace a particularly warm and natural presence. The combination of fine white jade, natural golden skin, and the continuity of one original seed pebble makes this necklace much more than a simple strand of white jade beads. For collectors of Lonely Stone, this is an especially interesting way to experience the material. A single pendant allows the character of one pebble to be seen in one form; a 108-bead necklace reveals that same stone through dozens of individual pieces, each showing a slightly different part of its natural structure and skin. Together, they form a continuous story of one original stone.
