Type A Jadeite Round Bangle, Pale Green, Green Dots, 54mm

A natural Type A jadeite round bangle (fu bangle, 福镯) in glutinous texture, a pale green base with small dots of bright green. Inner size 54 mm.

Glutinous jadeite is fine-grained and softly translucent, with a gentle, moist look like cooked sticky rice. Moist and fresh: half the bangle is a soft mint green that fades into clear white on the other half, and the green side is sprinkled with a dozen or so sesame-sized dots of vivid green, which the trade calls 点翠, dotted green. The color is fresh and understated; the round bar, about 9.2 mm, is easy to wear to work or with plain clothes.

Style: round (fu bangle), round in cross-section and easy to wear with anything. Size: a bar about 9.2 mm thick, 54 mm inner, which is a common size.

Type A jadeite is never acid-bleached or polymer-filled, so its original cotton and stone lines stay as they are. Phone screens can make the green of this 54 mm bangle look brighter or darker than it is; the video in natural light is the best guide. The video turns it through a full circle so you can see every side. Every photo and video on this page shows this exact piece.
