About this piece
White seed jade with its natural pitted skin shows the two things collectors look for: a luminous white body and the unpolished river-stone surface that helps identify seed material. The skin is usually left on one side of the bangle, so the piece keeps its story visible while the rest is polished smooth.
The flat band profile keeps the bangle comfortable through the day, and the 56 mm opening is a mainstream size. White Hetian jade is a classic first purchase in this family and an easy piece to wear with everything.
At 52.8 g the weight is balanced: present enough to feel substantial, light enough for daily comfort.
An inner diameter of 56 mm is one of the most commonly worn sizes for jade bangles.
This listing records the weight (52.8 g), colour (White jade) and measurements (56 mm inner diameter) as supplied with the piece.
Material and how we describe it
Hetian jade is nephrite from Xinjiang, China - smooth, waxy and warm in the hand. We describe colour with everyday terms such as white jade and qinghua (black-and-white) and state when the supplier identifies the piece as seed jade.
Authenticity, treatments and certificates
Terms such as "A-grade" or "seed jade" are market descriptions supplied with the stone, not laboratory certificates. Ask us for close-up photographs and any available documentation before payment.
Where an independent examination is practical, we will discuss arranging it with you.
Sizing and wearing feel
A bangle fits by its inner diameter in millimetres, not by a letter size: measure the widest part of your hand and compare it with the opening shown on this page.
In the hand, nephrite feels smooth and waxy and warms quickly - the soft touch Hetian jade is known for.
Shipping and returns
Delivery country, method, timing and any customs duties are confirmed with you before dispatch. Return eligibility and any custom-order exclusions are agreed per order - please ask us before payment.
Why keep the skin on white jade?
The natural pitted skin is a commonly used reference point for seed jade origin. Removing it would make the material harder to identify.
Does white Hetian jade change with wear?
White nephrite tends to develop a softer, warmer sheen with wear and gentle cleaning. It does not change colour.
