Type A Jadeite Bangle, Rich Yang Green Half, 54.2mm

A natural Type A jadeite flat-inner bangle (正装, safety bangle), icy-glutinous, rich yang green across the upper half and light green below, inner size 54.2 mm, band 12.5 mm wide and 9.3 mm thick.

Icy-glutinous jadeite sits between icy and glutinous: fine-grained and semi-translucent, with a soft glow. The seller said "juicy and fresh". The upper half is one unbroken sweep of rich, bright yang green, saturated and wet-looking like young leaves after rain; toward the lower half it fades gradually to a fresh pale green with a few white wisps. With this much green and a true hue, it is eye-catching on the wrist.

At 12.5 mm wide and 9.3 mm thick the band is broad and full, a flat-inner cut with real presence. 54.2 mm is just under the middle size and fits most women. Bangles with large areas of true yang green are getting harder to find; this one can be your main bangle or an heirloom.

As a natural mineral, jadeite nearly always carries some cotton or stone lines; they do not affect wear. On a phone screen the color of this 54.2 mm yang green bangle can look stronger or paler than it is, so the video in natural light is the best guide.

This 54.2 mm yang green bangle has its own certificate from an accredited national gem testing lab. Once inspection confirms the match it is packed and sent, shipping free and fully insured; any import tax is paid by the recipient.
