Jade basics
Natural character is part of the beauty
Color variations
Green, lavender, icy white, blue, yellow, red and dark Mo Cui or Wuji tones can appear in many combinations.
Stonelines & inclusions
Natural internal lines, mineral specks and inclusions tell the story of how jade formed. We disclose them separately from structural damage.
Translucency
From creamy and opaque to watery and luminous, translucency changes how jade catches light and shows its color.
Bangle sizing
Measure the inner diameter
Jade bangle sizes are listed in millimeters across the inside opening. Fit also depends on your hand shape, so contact us if you are between sizes.

| 56–59 mm | Medium | Common everyday range |
