Type A Jadeite Round Bangle, Glutinous White, 53.2mm

A natural Type A jadeite round bangle, glutinous texture, glutinous white, inner size 53.2 mm, band 9.3 mm wide and 9.2 mm thick.

Glutinous jadeite is fine-grained and softly translucent, with a gentle, moist look like cooked sticky rice. The seller said "juicy and fresh". The bangle is a warm glutinous white, like a ring of set rice milk with a faint cool tint, clean and quiet; right at the top sits a single fleck of bright green the size of a grain of rice, like one brush dot on white paper, a tiny accent when turned to the outside.

The 9.3 × 9.2 mm round band is a just-right thickness, round inside and out, and slides on smoothly. 53.2 mm is a smaller size, suited to women with fine bones and slim palms and to young girls. A glutinous white bangle is gentle in price, plain and easy to wear with anything, an ideal first jadeite bangle.

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 53.2 mm glutinous white round bangle can look stronger or paler than it is, so the video in natural light is the best guide.

This 53.2 mm glutinous white round 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.
