“If you embrace the harmony within diversity, then you create a space for unity and shared purpose in the world.”
Burmese jade, also known as maw-sit-sit, features a striking blend of green and black colors with unique textures. This unique stone, a type of jadeite, contains minerals like chromite and amphibole, which give it its distinctive appearance and appeal in jewelry making.
Maw-sit-sit forms under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions within metamorphic rock environments. Its composition includes jadeite, chromite, and other minerals, resulting in the unique color patterns found in the beads. The intricate interplay of colors and textures makes each bead one-of-a-kind, capturing the interest of both collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.
Artisans cherish maw-sit-sit beads for their rich colors and unique designs. Jewelers often incorporate these beads into necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, allowing for versatile styling options. The natural variations in color and texture create dynamic jewelry pieces, making maw-sit-sit a popular choice for statement jewelry and modern designs. These beads pair beautifully with other gemstones, enhancing their allure and appeal.
Maw-sit-sit carries significant cultural importance in Myanmar, where it is valued for its beauty and metaphysical properties. Traditionally, it symbolizes strength, protection, and harmony. Many believe this stone promotes emotional balance and resilience, making it a favored choice for those seeking grounding energy. Additionally, the unique color patterns represent the interconnectedness of nature, emphasizing the beauty found in diversity.
Maw-sit-sit is primarily sourced from Myanmar, where miners extract it from metamorphic rock formations. Once mined, artisans cut and polish the jade into beautiful beads. Jewelry makers use maw-sit-sit beads in various applications, showcasing their stunning colors and textures in both traditional and contemporary designs. The unique properties of maw-sit-sit make it a sought-after material in crafting distinctive jewelry pieces that resonate with wearers on a personal level.

6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning. Oathfeed Classic Design
