Type A Jadeite Round Bangle, Full Lavender, 52.3mm

A natural Type A jadeite round bangle (福镯) in icy-glutinous texture, full lavender (紫罗兰) all the way round. Inner size 52.3 mm, round bar about 9.9 mm thick.

Icy-glutinous jadeite sits between icy and glutinous: fine-grained and semi-translucent, with a soft glow. The color is beautiful: an even, saturated lavender around the whole ring, leaning toward pink-violet and glowing clear purple in sunlight, with no grey or whitish sections. Lavender jadeite that is deep in color, even all round and still translucent is very hard to find, which is why it sits at this price.

The round bar has smooth, full lines and 9.9 mm is a comfortable thickness. The 52.3 mm inner size runs small and suits slimmer wrists. In Chinese tradition purple jade stands for "purple energy arriving from the east", an auspicious sign, making this a meaningful gift for yourself or family.

Natural jadeite shifts a little with the light, warmer indoors and fresher in daylight. Every photo and video of this 52.3 mm lavender bangle shows this exact piece, with no color editing.
