<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 353836, member: 5833"]Welcome Jen. I assume you mean the clasp is marked. The maker of the clasp is not likely to be the maker of the necklace. A good quality clasp & the knots between the beads suggest the beads themselves may be better quality but do not guarantee it. As Holly wrote, there are too many other stones that can look like this, either naturally or with a little help, for us to make a confident determination of jade/not jade. The way the ends of the strand have been finished off make me think this was assembled in China. They are so good at imitating all sorts of things, I would be wary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
