Natural nephrite jade · Untreated · Made in China

Cut from natural stone, no two pieces are alike: colour and grain vary from piece to piece, and your piece will differ slightly from the photographs.

This bracelet is strung with round nephrite jade beads in colours that run from soft grey-green to clean white. Along the strand, the grey-green gathers on one side and fades bead by bead in both directions until the opposite side is white; with every bead the same size, nothing interrupts the fade, and the eye follows the colour rather than the beads. Untreated nephrite jade, beads 8 mm, 18.2 g.

Wrap a soft tape snugly around your bare wrist, without added ease. S fits 13.5–14.5 cm · M 14.5–15.5 cm · L 15.5–16.5 cm · XL 16.5–17.5 cm · XXL 17.5–18.5 cm (inner circumference 15 / 16 / 17 / 18 / 19 cm). Between two sizes, take the larger — a bead strand carries its own room.

Nephrite or jadeite? Both are jade, and both are exceptionally tough. Nephrite is the tougher of the two, with a softer, quieter luster; jadeite is harder and glassier. Natural nephrite jade is the principal stone in every JIE JIANG piece; where a piece also carries jadeite, its product page says so. The species is written on the tag, and for high-value pieces a GIA identification report is available on request.

Does it change with wear? Physically, a little: nephrite is very tough but not scratch-proof, so years of daily wear can leave fine surface marks. It does not fade or change colour.

Water and sweat? Fine for hand-washing and rain. Take it off for pools, hot tubs and sport: chlorine and sweat wear on silk thread and metal findings rather than on the stone. Dry it before storing.
