In New Zealand we have many manufacturers who use polyester braided thread for greenstone jade [Pounamu] and bone carving souvenir necklaces because of it's strength, feel against the skin and vibrant colour range as shown below. Also available in five thicknesses, as above in the stitch comparison illustration.
