About this piece
A warm yellow skin over a qinghua pattern is an older, quieter look than plain white. The skin colour is part of the original stone, and together with the black-and-white pattern it gives the bangle the feel of a well-worn antique rather than a bright new piece.
That character suits both everyday wear and collecting - the piece is distinctive without shouting. At 55 mm it fits a typical hand, and the natural surface is best kept clean with a soft damp cloth.
At 56.8 g the weight is balanced: present enough to feel substantial, light enough for daily comfort.
An inner diameter of 55 mm is one of the most commonly worn sizes for jade bangles.
This listing records the weight (56.8 g), colour (Qinghua black-and-white) and measurements (55 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 the yellow colour natural?
Yellow skin is a natural colour layer of the river stone. Skin colours are part of what collectors check when assessing seed jade.
How do I care for the skin?
Clean with a soft damp cloth and store the bangle separately from harder jewellery. Avoid sudden temperature changes and impacts.
