About this piece
A white seed-jade oval with natural skin is uncommon at this size. The 61 mm opening is one of the roomiest in the collection, so it suits a wider hand or anyone who prefers a looser drape rather than a snug fit.
White Hetian jade is the classic colour of this family - smooth, luminous and calm - and the natural skin on the stone offers a reference point for the seed origin. As a large oval it makes a generous statement piece for daily wear or for a collection.
At 59 g the weight is balanced: present enough to feel substantial, light enough for daily comfort.
An inner diameter of 61 mm is a roomy opening - suited to a wider hand or to anyone who prefers a looser drape.
Oval (Guifei) openings are measured at their widest point and sit closer to the wrist than round bangles of the same number.
This listing records the weight (59 g), colour (White jade) and measurements (61 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.
Is a 61 mm oval too large?
It depends on your hand. Measure the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles); if the measurement is close to 61 mm or larger, this roomy opening will suit you. Send us your measurement if unsure.
Is white seed jade rare?
White seed jade with natural skin is prized, and large oval pieces are less common than smaller ones. Rarity alone does not set value - quality and workmanship matter too.
