Type A Jadeite Band Ring, Icy Blue Qingshui, 16.8mm, US 6.5

A natural Type A jadeite band ring in icy texture, blue qingshui (蓝晴水, clear water with a light blue-green tint), inner diameter 16.8 mm (about US size 6.5), band 5.5 mm wide and 4 mm thick.

Icy jadeite is fine-grained and highly translucent, so light passes through it with a clear, watery glow. The seller's whole note was four characters, "great texture, perfect". In the photos the band is see-through, a pale lake-water blue-green across the top that fades gradually to icy white at the bottom. The polish is bright, with crisp lines of highlight, and with light behind it the ring looks clean rather than dull.

16.8 mm sits between US 6 and 7, about US 6.5, which fits the middle or ring finger for most women. At 5.5 mm wide and 4 mm thick the proportions are on the delicate side: clean on its own, and pretty stacked with a fine gold ring. Blue qingshui is a quiet color that goes with work clothes and everyday outfits alike.

Natural jadeite shifts a little with the light, warmer indoors and fresher in daylight. Every photo and video of this 16.8 mm blue qingshui band ring shows this exact piece, with no color editing.
